History

[edit]

Boy, this article sure is lacking in the history department. Anyone feel like starting a History section? I have a book that has some basic history of the company, so I'd be happy to take a crack at it if no one else wants to. –BMRR (talk) 23:38, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Compared to the EMD article (GE's main competitor) it definitely lacks a lot of history - some of which can be found there! The main GE article doesn't touch on the locomotive works much either. Would be nice to have. Lordjim13 (talk) 11:39, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The irony of a GE component being acquired by a former division of Westinghouse, I'm sure was not lost on some people. knoodelhed (talk) 00:16, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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) 23:49, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are they in the GE Dash 9 Series? Biscuittin (talk) 23:55, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Market share

[edit]

We claim the North American market is essentially divided 70-30 between only two competitors, GE Transportation and EMD.

I would like to ask those in the know if this really is true still in 2023. Isn't Siemens delivering locomotives to North American operators, for instance?

Probably outdated and incorrect. There are a few minor players, and Siemens has made major inroads lately. Other builders include MotivePower (though now also a Wabtec subsidiary along with GE Transportation), Brookville Equipment, Railpower Technologies, Alstom, and National Railway Equipment. GE and EMD are the two major builders still. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 12:21, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
