General Electric’s first six axle diesel, the U25C, made its debut in 1963. During a two year production run 113 units were built spread out over seven owners. The Northern Pacific rostered the largest fleet with 30 units, closely followed by Atlantic Coast Line with 21 units and Pennsylvania with 20 units. The Louisville and Nashville received 18 units originally and subsequently added the 10 surviving units of the 13 built for Oro Dam Constructors. The Burlington purchased 12 units and the Lake Superior and Ishpeming had 2 units. Through eventual mergers and sales,the U25C came to wear the colors of Burlington Northern, Penn Central, Conrail, Seaboard Coast Line, Family Lines and NdeM. Licensed by and developed with the cooperation of General Electric.
