The locomotive, called the "Evolution Series," incorporates a new diesel engine and provides the basic technology for General Electric locomotives for the next 20 years, the company said.
The company said the locomotive produces the same horsepower as current GE 4,400-horsepower (3,300 kilowatt) locomotives while cutting polluting gases and particulate matter by more than 40 percent and saving about 3 percent of fuel, the report stated.
GE said it planned to sell the locomotives for about $1.8 million to $2.5 million apiece, about 10 percent to 15 percent more than locomotives currently on the market, according to the newspaper.
An official at GE was not immediately available to comment on the report early yesterday.
