US emission standards for railway locomotives apply to newly manufactured, as well as remanufactured railroad locomotives and locomotive engines fueled by diesel and by other fuels (e.g., natural gas). Our two cycle, medium speed engines are available for marine, drilling, power generation and locomotive applications. The Genesis series of locomotives was designed by General Electric in response to a specification published by Amtrak and ultimately selected over a competing design presented by GM EMD. The cost of an AC locomotive averages around $2 million, differing between manufacturers. Please refer to TABLE G.

Two types of locomotive are in use: the pure electric, which takes power from an overhead medium voltage catenary wire, and is limited in use to long distance runs, and the diesel engine driven locomotive which can be used for all types of operation, including shunting. With deliveries to over 75 countries, we have designed and produced more than 75,000 EMD diesel engines — exceeding any other locomotive manufacturer, to create the largest installed fleet worldwide. Several 1600, 1700, 1900 and 6300 series locomotive have been assigned a GN (Great Northern) number and stored.
