Earlier I read a comment about EMD Vs GE traction motors.

I want to point out that from what was described one motor is AC, and the other is DC. Well a DC motor will overheat in high amperage at different ratings, where as an AC motor does not have short time ratings because it is Alternating Current instead of Direct Current. Comparing the two is like comparing 30 weight oil to steam oil. Not the same.
