List of GE locomotives
The following is a list of locomotives produced by GE Transportation Systems before its acquisition and takeover by Wabtec. All were/are built at Fort Worth, Texas or Erie, Pennsylvania, in the United States. Most are powered by various versions of GE's own FDL diesel prime mover, based on a Cooper Bessemer design and manufactured at Grove City, Pennsylvania. GE is one of the largest locomotive manufacturing companies.
Freight locomotives
Early locomotives, switchers and special purpose
Switchers
General purpose
Universal Series (1956 to 1998)
Because their model designations start with "U", they are known colloquially to railfans as "U-Boats".Four axle
Six axles
Six axles & Pony
Eight axles
Dash 7 Series (introduced 1977)
Models with "A" suffix are equipped with 12-cylinder prime mover in place of the standard 16-cylinder version, with the same power output.Four axles
Six axles
Dash 8 Series (introduced 1982)
GE originally introduced this series with the model designation following the pattern of the Dash-7 line. After product improvements were made to the line in 1987 the official designations for models in this series changed to "Dash-8...", as shown in the list below. However, for simplicity, many railroads decided to use designations which follow the pattern of the Dash-7 line. Thus, for example, the Dash 8-40C is usually rendered as "C40-8". The "W" suffix indicates the then-optional wide-nose "North American" safety cab. For example, the Santa Fe used the designation "B40-8W" for GE's "Dash 8-40BW". The railroad continued this practice until its merger with the Burlington Northern Railroad in 1995, and the new railroad, Burlington Northern-Santa Fe furthered the practice.Introduced during the Dash 8's later years were split-cooling in the radiators and electronic displays for the crews.
Four axles
Six axles
Eight axles
Dash 9 Series (introduced 1993)
The Dash 9 series introduced primarily electronics updates to the Dash 8 line. Also introduced was the HiAd truck. Split-cooling was standard.Four axles
No four axle freight versions producedSix axles
Eight axles
AC Series (introduced 1994)
These feature the same carbody design and many of the internal components as the Dash-9 series, except they are equipped with AC traction motors instead of the conventional DC versions. The cab air conditioner was moved from the left side walkway to a position under the cab floor to make space for the six traction inverters that supply the AC current to the traction motors.Six axles
Evolution Series (introduced 2005)
The Evolution Series locomotives replaced the Dash 9 and AC series in North America and exceeded the then new U.S. EPA Tier II emissions standards that took effect in 2005, reducing nitrogen oxides emissions by over 40% and improving fuel consumption as well. They use the new GEVO engine which produces the same power from twelve cylinders as previous locomotives' 16-cylinder 7FDL engine. Both AC and DC Evolution Series share the same carbody design. The radiator section "wings" are divided into two parts with differing angles.Six axles
Eight axles
PowerHaul Series
Six axles
Passenger locomotives
While primarily a builder of freight locomotives, GE has on occasion been called upon to construct passenger models for specific customers. The most recent is the P42DC, ordered by Amtrak to replace the aging EMD F40PH. Additional units have been built for Via Rail Canada.Electric locomotives
Turbine locomotives
Indonesian locomotives
Indonesian version is very different, the engine same all the models but the power capability is different, with dual turbocharger or using common rail system with dual turbocharger.| Model designation | Build year | Known as | Total produced | AAR wheel arrangement | Prime mover | Power output | Image |

Notes
- These locomotives are cited from by Indra Krishnamurti, except for CC206s, Hartono book Album Lokomotif dan KRL and Lokomotif dan Kereta Rel Diesel di Indonesia published by PT Ilalang Sakti Komunikasi.
- These locomotives are for Indonesian Railways Co. export only.
- Although the C20EMPs were introduced in 2006, those locomotives have been operated since 2008. These locomotives were assembled in PT Industri Kereta Api, Madiun.
- Actually the C18MMis were retrofitted from U18Cs to C20EMP minimum specifications in Jogjakarta Locomotive Workshop .
