List of GE locomotives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 (except the electrics, the switchers, the AC6000CW, and the Evolution series) 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. [note not all are from the USA]

Dash 8 Series (introduced 1982)[]

Main article: GE Dash 8 Series

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 (later BNSF Railway) furthered the practice.

Introduced during the Dash 8's later years were split-cooling in the radiators and electronic displays for the crews (instead of analogue gauges).

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 (conductor's) side walkway to a position under the cab floor to make space for the six traction inverters (one per axle) that supply the AC current to the traction motors.

The units equipped with the 7FDL were a sub-version AC6000 "Convertible" and were produced to get the type into operation while the 7HDL was developed.
**Note 1: The "AC44i" is a export version of the AC4400CW locomotive for Brazil. In that country, these models are the first to use AC (Alternating Current) in their operating systems. The first units were made in United States on 2008, and the other sequential units made in the local plant of GE, in Contagem municipality, Minas Gerais.

Evolution Series (introduced 2005)[]

Main article: GE Evolution Series

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 (based in part on the 7HDL design) 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.

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.

Indonesian locomotives[]

Locomotives exported to Indonesia are quite different from other locomotives produced by GE. They use the same type of engine across all models (GE 7FDL-8, except for UM 106T Locomotives which used Alco 12-244E). Despite using the same type of engine, the power capabilities from type to type are different as some models are equipped with dual turbocharger, or equipped with common rail system and dual turbocharger.

Notes

  • These locomotives are cited from Indonesian Railways 2004 Diesel Locomotive Rosters[unreliable source?] by Indra Krishnamurti, except for CC206s, Hartono book Album Lokomotif dan KRL[full citation needed] and Lokomotif dan Kereta Rel Diesel di Indonesia[full citation needed] 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 (Balai Yasa Yogyakarta) (see above).
