Product Information:
In the late 1960’s, locomotive manufacturers EMD, Alco, and GE were all in a race to offer powerful new 6-axle power to railroads hauling heavier, longer trains. GE developed several models in short succession. First was the U25C in 1963, with a carbody that shared the same contours as the U25B on a 64 foot 4 inch frame. This carbody was carried into the first 2,800 hp U28C’s built in 1965, but midway through model production, GE switched to a 67 ft 3 in frame with an entirely different carbody – the classic “U boat” design that lasted until dash-8 units in the late 1980’s.
