GE U25B - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (440 words)
The GE U25B was General Electric's first entry into the United States domestic diesel-electric railroad locomotive market for road locomotives.
GE had previously produced many diesel switchers and locomotives for export.
Though many were produced and sold, the only remaining U25B locomotives are in museums as many were retired or scrapped at the end of their service life by the end of the 1980s and early 1990s.
Union Pacific GE Dash 8 Locomotives (4479 words)
GE had found from tests on UP, as well as other western roads, that in heavy storm situations, melt water from snow and ice accumulation at times drained into some of the dynamic braking circuitry causing an increase in burned-out dynamic braking grids.
GE 809 was sent to each of the railroad's major terminals for crew evaluations.
Just as these units were being delivered, GE began a modification program to add the side inlet to the 9250-9355 group of standard cab Dash 8s, with all of the 105-unit group completed by the end of 1990.
