Most of the products we see, touch and eat every day are shipped intermodal: a highly orchestrated network utilizing multiple modes of transportation. See how GE Transportation and the Industrial Internet power CSX Transportation's intermodal business, delivering over 2 million containers across 2,000 routes every year.

GE works on things that matter. The best people and the best technologies taking on the toughest challenges. Finding solutions in energy, health and home, transportation and finance. Building, powering, moving and curing the world. Not just imagining. Doing. GE works.

Over 2 Million Containers, 2,000 Routes

Every machine has its own acoustic signature - a precise frequency that indicates whether that machine is operating at peak performance. GE engineers monitor and record these sounds to perform real-time diagnostics on airplane engines, locomotives, power turbines, and medical equipment. Musician Matthew Dear and GE Acoustics Engineer Andrew Gorton teamed up to collect and compose thousands of audio emissions from the world’s most powerful machines. The result is an original track of music titled “Drop Science.”
