On-Board Systems

The brains for today's trains

Today’s locomotives are far more than brute strength. There’s a higher intelligence at work in GE’s onboard systems. With a sophistication typically reserved for advanced aircraft cockpits, our car borne equipment performs a range of functions, including on-board computerization and applications hosting, communications control and management, distributed power, train and traction control, locomotive systems control and monitoring, audiovisual recording and cab signaling.

A data collection, data management and wireless transmission system, ERED provides railroads with locomotive data well beyond the capabilities of a traditional event recorder.

12R Series II Radios

The 12R Series II Radio provides onboard voice and data communications for freight and transit rail applications.

Ultra Cab II

Ultra Cab II provides real-time onboard reception of wayside signals for safer, more productive hauling of products.

SUV crossing

LocoCAM accurately and reliably captures critical video/audio and locomotive parameter information that can aid in accident investigations, help reduce litigation and settlement costs, and aid in safety awareness.

With LOCOTROL distributed power, railroads can optimize the distribution of power and braking control over the entire length of a train.

Train Control

With GE’s real-time train and traction power control, transit authorities can control wayside signals, create train schedules, automatically route cars and monitor trains in dark territory—all from a single terminal.
