[edit]

What about the turbine powered locomodives produced for the Union Pacific? I belive those were built by GE.

They were indeed. This seems to have turned into 'list of GE diesel locomotives'. GE was also responsible for many of the US electric locomotives, which might be included here too, and several steam turbines.
There were several different GE gas turbine locomotives; the original double-ended locomotive, then two groups of 4500 hp turbines (smooth-sided, then verandah) and then the twin-unit 8,500 hp locomotives. I'm probably going to deal with them in one article for now. —Morven 08:39, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)

I added a link to Gas turbine-electric locomotive, though it isn't clear to me if all the GTEL variants mentioned in it are GE's. n2xjk 03:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

E60?

[edit]

What about the E60 (and their other electrics?) --ZekeMacNeil 7 July 2005 22:09 (UTC)

Export GEs

[edit]

There is a listing here of Export GE units and GE units built by foreign licencees: http://www.locopage.net/ge-expt-lst.doc —Preceding unsigned comment added by SSW9389 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

White Pass & Yukon

[edit]

Were the type 3341 locos used by WP&Y built by General Electric? If so they should be included somewhere. Our Phellap 16:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The AC series

[edit]

CSX has previously had "Heavy" CW44AC units, and is now equipping them with "high tractive effort" software and redisignating them as model CW44AH. Should this information be mentioned in this GE article, or being unique to CSX would it go better there? n2xjk 16:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I put the information in the GE AC4400CW article. n2xjk 13:43, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blue Tiger

[edit]

GE developed together with Adtranz (today: Bombardier Transportation) the diesel-electric Blue Tiger de:ADtranz DE-AC33C, of which 1 prototype, 10 production locomotives for Germany, 30 for Pakistan and 20 for Malaysia have been built so far. GE provides engine, inverter and traction motors; the mechanics are derived from Henschel developments (such as earlier locomotives for Egypt). 84.115.129.76 10:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

4-axle Dash-8s in the 30s range

[edit]

I don't know if i half-fixed the first 4 Dash-8s, or screwed them up worse.

B32-8 was a red-lk
B39-8 was a rdr'd lk to GE Dash 8-39B (which i eventually noticed had its own line in the table)

So i bypassed the Rdr on the 39 lk, and took a guess that B32-8 needed the corresponding change.
Now i see that i left the first two entries looking like they are just partial, garbled transcriptions of the next two. Maybe i'm right, and the first two should just be deleted. Maybe i'm just wrong, and if so maybe whoever created the Rdr i relied on was wrong too.
More knowledge than i have (or want) needs to be applied here.

New York Central electrics

[edit]

I noticed the NYC P, Q, R, S and T motors are missing from the electric locomotive table. Does anyone have enough roster info to add them in? Wuhwuzdat (talk) 17:12, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FM "Erie-Built"?

[edit]

Missing from the production lists are the "Erie-Built" units for Fairbanks-Morse which were produced by General Electric for Fairbanks-Morse using the Fairbanks-Morse 10 cylinder diesel as the prime mover. Production reportedly was 111 units from 1945 to 1949. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClydeN0 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

E57B / E34C

[edit]

The GE electric list seems to b missing the E57B and E34C used on the Milwaukee Road from Harlowton, MT west to eventually OR Apparently 160 of these were manufactured. I'm still doing research but maybe someone all ready has the complete story.

Diesel electric heading?

[edit]

It seems that these are all diesel electric unless otherwise noted...but I'm not sure. Might some be diesel-mechanical or diesel-hydraulic? The electric section gets a heading as such, so it seems there should be some indication of type all, whether it's in the lead or in the table headings.

GE C25 EMPD

[edit]

These were built by GE Transportation in Brazil for Nigeria.[1] [2] I am planning to write an article. If you have more information, please let me know. Biscuittin (talk) 12:47, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Changed descriptions for U14C and U15C

[edit]

Changes:

U14C is listed that PNR (Philippine National Railways) owns all of them

U15C is listed that both SAR (South African Railways) and PNR (Philippine National Railways) own U15Cs, as units 917-922 of the PNR 900 Class fleet are believed to be U15Cs. Boypogikami132 (talk) 07:29, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
