By the 1950s, railroads were shopping for more powerful units and a horsepower race between EMD, ALCO and General Electric began. GE unveiled its brutish new Universal series in 1959. Production began with a 2500-horsepower, four-axle unit, known as the U25B in 1960 – and railfans quickly nicknamed them “U-boats.”
In 1966 a 2800-horsepower prime mover was added to create the U28B. Late production units (the prototypes for these models) had a shorter nose and some differences in the radiator intakes.
Late in 1966, GE introduced a 3000 horsepower prime mover in the U30B. Later production units (the prototypes for these models) had revised air intakes. Total production ended at 296 units in 1975.
