General Electric's Universal Series "U-BOATS" |
see each model catalog for the order sheet |
After dissolving the Alco-G.E. partnership in 1954, G.E. quietly began developing it's own line of diesel locomotives. Starting with an FA-like A-B-B-A test set (leased to the Erie, and in Erie colors), Erie #750A-D gave GE what it needed to further develop the Cooper-Bessemer diesel engines and collect the field data needed learn the rigors of locomotive road service. The lessons learned were applied to the "Universal"-series GE diesel locomotives. From 1958 bto the mid-1970s, the Universals (nicknamed "U-boats") took General Electric to the top of the diesel locomotive heap!
Division Point is introducing an on-going project of the G.E. "U-boats". You are well advised to contact your dealer to reserve yours!
