Like anything else, I guess. Back in the '90's I used to have neighbors and friends that worked for GM's Electromotive works in McCook, IL. They used to build locomotives there in their entirety. According to them, at some point a corporate decision was made that they'd only make the parts for the locomotives, then ship them by rail to some facility in Canada where they'd be assembled into locomotives, then those locomotives would be pulled back to McCook where they'd make them run. I guess like anything else, somebody(s) in charge at the top knew why, but nobody(s) at the bottom could figure it out. Guess its like anything else... You don't suppose them green things get shipped by rail up to East Moline where they're made to run as well, do you? Mark
