What followed was the creation of the U25B road switcher. Available in both high-nose and low-nose variants, GE would sell over 450 U25Bs to a variety of Class I railroads.

That would all change with GE’s entry into a road-switcher market dominated by EMD and Alco. In the late 1950s, GE’s engineers were developing a new V16 engine. What followed was the creation of the U25B road switcher. Available in both high-nose and low-nose variants, GE would sell over 450 U25Bs to a variety of Class I railroads. The U25B would pave the way for future Universal series locomotives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany U25Bs lasted into the early 1980s on some Class I railroads.

This WalthersMainline model captures all the details of its modern classic prototype, including accurate molded and separately applied parts and prototypical paint schemes. A top-of-the-line WalthersProto drive, metal Proto MAX couplers, LED lighting and metal wheels ensure a lifetime of reliable operation.

The 4,000hp Dash 8-40CW was produced by General Electric between 1989 and 1993 as a follow-up to the successful Dash 8-40C locomotive. The most distinguishing feature of this model was the introduction of GE's version of the wide-nose North American Safety Cab. This style of cab would become a common sight on railroads across the country. Four major railroads purchased the Dash 8-40CW in fairly large quantities, including Conrail, CSX, Santa Fe and Union Pacific. Many of these units are still in regular mainline and heavy-haul freight service and others have gone on to secondary owners or into rebuild programs. This detailed model features a five-pole, skew-wound motor with dual flywheels, directional LED lighting, working front and\/or rear ditch lights as appropriate, Accumate(R) magnetic knuckle couplers, accurate decoration and other roadname-appropriate body details.
