History

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)

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)

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)

GE C25 EMPD

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)

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

Market share

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?

CapnZapp (talk) 08:22, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Probably outdated and incorrect.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)
