So we currently have GE's U30B, U30C, U36B, and the U50, so why not GE's 1st domestic Universal Locomotive? The U25B was built between 1959 to 1966, and had a power output of 2,500hp. It was at the time, the highest HP 4 axle Road Switcher on the market, competing against EMD's GP20 and ALCO's RS-27. Potential road names for the locomotive. ATSF (US Only) Great Northern (US Only) New Haven (#2525 is preserved) Pennsylvania Railroad Southern Pacific (3100 is still in running condition) Also SP had 4 U25bs rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen between 1977 and 1978. These were designated as M-K TR70-4S, and wore a unique Red and Orange scheme, which earned the nickname "Popsicle". Though these were not successful, and were retired in 1987. Union Pacific. UP had 3 ex GE demonstrators, and were built with High Short Hoods. Only railroad (Besides FRISCO) to own High Hood U25's. Other potential railroads that could come with the locomotive are C&O, Burlington Route, Burlington Northern, Milwaukee Road, The Rock, Erie Lackawanna, L&N, NYC, Penn Central, Connrail, Frisco (High Hood) and Wabash.
Yes, after watching a video review I am left with the impression DTM's U25 pack is a very poorly executed effort. There is hardly anything positive to say about it even ....
