GE announced on July 27 that locomotive production would be shut down at the end of next year at Yili, Pennsylvania, and lost 575 jobs.
The company said in a statement that the decision to move production to Fort Worth, Texas, comes following a 10% drop in domestic orders.
“Given these market realities and the need for cost competitiveness across our global markets, GE Transportation announced its intent to transfer production of locomotives and kits for international customers to the GE Manufacturing Solutions facility in Forth Worth,” GE says. “The move is necessary to drive efficiency, better compete in the increasingly competitive global market, and preserve US jobs.”
General Electric has been producing locomotives from the factory in Lawrence Park since 1910. The agency will continue to operate in terms of design, engineering, prototype development and spare parts production, and Chief Executive Officer, Jamie Miller, wrote to the staff.
