I-GE TATRATTATION ingumkhiqizi omkhulu kakhulu we-Diesel-Electric Locomotives for yomibili lezi zicelo ezithwala izimpahla kanye nezicelo zabagibeli eNyakatho Melika, ezikholelwa ukuthi zibambelele ezimakethe zamamakethe ezingama-70. [3] Okunye kuphela ukuncintisana okubalulekile yi-Electro-Motive Diesel, ephethe cishe isilinganiso samamakethe angama-30%. [4]


Ama-hoppers amabili we-cylindrical akhiwe ngohambo lwe-GE
Ukuhamba kwe-GE kukhiqize imikhiqizo ehlobene, efana nemishini yokugibela ujantshi, kanye nezingxenye ze-locomotives kanye nezimoto zesitimela, kanye nokuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo zokulungisa ze-GE kanye nezinye izindawo. Izithonjana zamanje zokukhiqiza ezinkulu zifaka uchungechunge lwe-GE EVE EVE EVELL.

I-GE ikhiqize i-locomotive yayo yokuqala ngo-1912, futhi yaqhubeka nokukhiqiza ama-switchcharter hotomotives ngawo-1920s kanye nama-30s, kanti futhi ikhiqiza imishini kagesi yezinjini zedizili evela kwabanye abakhiqizi. Ukubandakanyeka okunamandla ekuthuthweni kwezitimela eziphambili eqale ngokubambisana ne-alco ngo-1940. U-Al alro wayengumkhiqizi we-Steam Locomotives, futhi wayeqhubekela ku-Diesel Traction, kodwa edingekayo ukuncintisana nesigaba esisha esisanda kuvela i-GM Electro-Motive. Ebambisheni, ama-alcomotive bodies kanye nabahamba phambili, ngenkathi i-ge ihlinzeka ngegiya kagesi kanye nokumaketha nokusebenza kwengqalasizinda.
