The railroad equipment industry (SIC code: 3743) is made up of establishments primarily engaged in building and rebuilding locomotives (including frames and parts, not elsewhere classified) of any type or gauge; and railroad, street, and rapid transit cars and car equipment for operation on rails for freight and passenger service.

First we give a view of the multinationals Adtranz, Bombardier, GEC Alsthom and Siemens. After this the manufacturers per country are listed. If a manufacturer is taken over by another company, there is only a short description.

The international railway group Adtranz is the world's most complete provider of railway systems (market share of 12%). The group was legally formed on January 1, 1996 as a 50/50 merger between the respective railway activities of Swiss-Swedish elecrical engineering group ABB, Zurich, Switzerland, and Daimler-Benz AG, Stuttgart, Germany (AEG Schienenfahrzeuge GmbH, Nürnberg).
Adtranz will benefit from ABB's leading technology position in electrical engineering and the Daimler-Benz's group leading position in transportation systems and mechanical engineering.
Adtranz is a worldwide operating group with a strong local presence in some 90 countries. Led by an international management team, the group is united by a single idea: The resurgence of rail! (Source: Adtranz-site) Has 23,000 employees.
Took over Signaltechnik-firm Interlogic Control Engineering Ltd. (former part of the BR) in 1996.

  Location: Amadora, Portugal
  Organization: Adtranz Portugal is underpinned by two major divisions.
  Adtranz Portugal - Sorefame Division, which is engaged in continuing on with Sorefame's previous business, that of making rolling stock.
  And Adtranz Portugal - Infra Division, which operates in the infrastructure, fixed installations and signaling sector. A business carried out in Portugal, up until the present, by ABB Eléctrica and AEG. They have now transferred all their technological know-how to Adtranz Portugal.
  History: In 1943 Sorefame (Sociedas Reunidas de Fabricaoes Metálicas, SARL was founded and the first years were dedicated to the production of dam equipment.
  In the 50's they turned their attention to the manufacturing of rolling stock.
  In 1993 they came to focus exclusively on that type of production. This was induced by a change in their then parent company's (the Senete Group) organizational structure.
  The Senete Group was formed in 1990, in a strategic endeavor to bring together all the major heavy engineering units operating in Portugal under a single umbrella. Affected and included in this move were Sorefame and Mague. Then, in 1994, Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) acquired the majority stake held by the state shareholder, Investimentos e Participações Empresariais SA (IPE) in the Senete Group.
  Subsequently, in 1996, ABB and Daimler-Benz opted to merger their rail transportation businesses worldwide into Adtranz.
  Sorefame is now a member of the Adtranz Group, and currently goes by the name of Adtranz Portugal.
  Products: vehicles and complete rail systems, either based on its own technology or in cooperation with other companies.

The first buyer was an English company and created "Hunslet". They made a number of railcars for Britain as well. Later they entered receivership, and the Austrian Jenbacher purchased a part of the company. The only thing IMO saving them from bankrupcy are the very low labour costs in Hungary.
