Syltrain How come that General Electric Transportation systems and Electromotive Division have not designed and putting locomotives in America's Railroad market for high speed trains ? I wish now that they built to compete with their nearest competitor like Bombardier Transportation,Alstom,and Talgo like locomotive manufacturers in the North America's territory due to the Obama's Administration for the stimulus.

EMD supplies the diesel engines, electrical systems, and other components for the majority of North American passenger locomotives built in the last few years by Bombardier, Alstom, and Motive Power Industries and they seem to be satisfied with the arrangement.
General Electric has a new passenger locomotive design in their catalog. They have not built a prototype yet but they are actively trying to market the unit to Amtrak.

That would a lot of engineering expense for a pretty thin market, assuming that the market will even exist. Both EMD and GE would probably be smarter to execute licensing agreements with overseas manufacturers.
