The following is a list of locomotives produced by General Electric Transportation Systems. All were/are built at Erie, Pennsylvania. All except the AC6000CW 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. A locomotive is a railway vehicle that provides the motive power for a train, and has no payload capacity of its own; its sole purpose is to move the train along the tracks. ...

Dash-8 Series (introduced late 1980s) GE's official designations for models in this series begin with "Dash 8...", as shown in the list below. However, for simplicity, many railroads have made up 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" cab.
Although these models' official names were of the format "Dash 8-99XX", the Santa Fe chose to stick with the older "X99-8X" model designations on the railroad's internal rosters. 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. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (AAR reporting mark ATSF), often abbreviated as Santa Fe, was one of the largest railroads in the United States. ...

AC Series (introduced late 1990s) 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. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with AC power. ...

Evolution Series (introduced mid 2000s) The Evolution Series locomotives replace the Dash 9 and AC series and exceed the 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 the previous locomotives' sixteen. Both AC and DC locomotives share the same carbody design, without even the small differences that distinguish the previous models. The radiator "wings" are even larger than those of the Dash 9 and AC series. New BNSF ES44DC #7663 at Commerce, California on February 21, 2005. ...

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.
