No comparison of GE and its performance comparison with any other engine. I have asked from train drivers/staff at LHR junction about GE Engines , they call it “Garmi ka Engine” when in June Interior Sindh reach approx. 50 Celsius, GE Engines mostly not fail on its way. BTW the plan is to add engines to PR fleet upto 2023-2024, not right now !

What do you know about GE locomotives? The first and second generations were totally a failure. The quality improved in the third generation when they took consideration of 50C temperature during summer. They first rehabilitated 2 GEU 20 in the eighties, modifying their existing design when whole lot of GEUs were under my jurisdiction in Rohri Shed Sukkur Division. They successfully ran for many years on trial in very hot and arid zones of Pakistan. No doubt the new GE is much superior than sh!ty chinese locomotives but they cost a lot as compared to Indian ALCO which is same as American ALCO, the most successful engines in performance in PR history. Ask railway Mechanical Engineer rather than train drivers

There was once a train driver, named Disouza of Tezagam, posted at Sukkur Division who ran the train at 130 mph in the seventies and in the eighties. Your minister is still dreaming about running the trains with such high speed in future.
