What about the turbine powered locomodives produced for the Union Pacific? I belive those were built by GE.

They were indeed. This seems to have turned into 'list of GE diesel locomotives'. GE was also responsible for many of the US electric locomotives, which might be included here too, and several steam turbines.
There were several different GE gas turbine locomotives; the original double-ended locomotive, then two groups of 4500 hp turbines (smooth-sided, then verandah) and then the twin-unit 8,500 hp locomotives. I'm probably going to deal with them in one article for now. —Morven 08:39, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)

I added a link to Gas turbine-electric locomotive, though it isn't clear to me if all the GTEL variants mentioned in it are GE's. n2xjk 03:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] E60?

What about the E60 (and their other electrics?) --ZekeMacNeil 7 July 2005 22:09 (UTC)

[edit] White Pass & Yukon

Were the type 3341 locos used by WP&Y built by General Electric? If so they should be included somewhere. Our Phellap 16:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The AC series

CSX has previously had "Heavy" CW44AC units, and is now equipping them with "high tractive effort" software and redisignating them as model CW44AH. Should this information be mentioned in this GE article, or being unique to CSX would it go better there? n2xjk 16:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I put the information in the GE AC4400CW article. n2xjk 13:43, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blue Tiger

GE developed together with Adtranz (today: Bombardier Transportation) the diesel-electric Blue Tiger de:ADtranz DE-AC33C, of which 1 prototype, 10 production locomotives for Germany, 30 for Pakistan and 20 for Malaysia have been built so far. GE provides engine, inverter and traction motors; the mechanics are derived from Henschel developments (such as earlier locomotives for Egypt). 84.115.129.76 10:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
