I would guess GE, but am not sure.

Ge units are assembled in Texas, and EMD units are assembled in Muncie, IND.  I know that both GE and EMD manufacture their own prime movers, main generators, electrical cabinets, main hoods & cabs, and under frames in the U.S.. 

No more engines at all are built in Erie?

I don't think the GE engine was ever manufactured in Erie. The locomotives, however were assembled in Erie, but now locomotive assembly is done in Texas.

When I said "engines," I was referring to locomotives .... rather than prime movers.

Anyway, I didn't know that GE completely ended locomotive production in Erie. I knew that it was  greatly scaled down. Sad for those folks.

There were studies being done by GE to determine if the Erie plant could be made more efficient for future production, with a large investment of capital.
