Just daydreaming here but I wonder if United Technologies (parent company of Pratt & Whitney) would be interested. There are some interesting overlaps between jet engines and locomotive engines, as GE knows very well... but maybe they wouldn't want to hand GETS over to someone they compete with in the jet business.
Berkshire Hathaway? He already bought a railroad, why not buy a locomotive builder too?
