- General Electric Company Catalog, "Electric Mine Locomotives," 1904 - At the turn of the 20th century, General Electric manufactured several models of electric locomotives for use in underground mines -- where smoke and soot from steam locomotives was dangerous and impractical. These small mine locomotives collected electricity from overhead lines or third rails that ran alongside the track. GE also built larger electric locomotives for use with conventional railcars aboveground.
