GE Transportation Systems, formerly known as GE Rail, is a division of General Electric Infrastructure (which also includes GE Aircraft Engine). The organization manufactures equipment for the railroad industry as well as other industries requiring large propulsion systems.

GE Transportation Systems is a major producer of diesel locomotives, for both freight and passenger applications, under the AAR reporting mark GECX. It also produces related products, such as railway signals, railway switching networks, and parts for locomotives and railroad cars, as well as providing repair services for GE and other locomotives.

In addition to railroad locomotives and equipment, GE Transportation Systems also produces large electric motors and propulsion systems for the mining, oil drilling, and wind turbine industries. GE also is providing medium-sized, medium-speed diesel engines for several smaller vessels, mostly tugboats and other similarly-sized vessels. These marine engines are marinized versions of their locomotive engines.

GE is the largest employer in Erie, Pennsylvania, where its manufacturing facility is based.
