General Electric U28C phase guide and builder's list

Image
The U28C was a bridge model between the 2500 hp U25C and the highly successful U30C. The 2800 hp rating was a bit of a disadvantage compared to Alco's C630 and EMD's SD40, and the model remained in production for just over a year. Within months of the start of production, GE completely re-engineered the Universal Series with a new frame, car body, equipment layout, and in the case of the six-axle units, the new FB-3 floating bolster truck. Here's the link to the .pdf of the phase study and builder's list.

General Electric U25C Builder List and Phase Guide

Image
 General Electric created the U25C for a single customer in 1963, the Oroville Dam Constructors. They added the trucks used on the EL-C and E-44 electric units to their successful U25B and created a niche market that served the Burlington, Northern Pacific, Pennsylvania Railroad, Louisville & Nashville, and Atlantic Coast Line. Although it was only in production from 1963 to 1965, there were four distinct phases.  Here is a builder's list and phase guide.  (Revised February 17, 2022, at 18:08 MST)
