  GE U25B - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The GE U25B was General Electric's first entry into the United States domestic diesel-electric railroad locomotive market for road locomotives.
The U25B (nicknamed a U-Boat) was the first successful domestic diesel electric road locomotive designed built and sold by General Electric after its split with the American Locomotive Company, or Alco, a company dating back to the steam era.
Though many were produced and sold, the only remaining U25B locomotives are in museums as many were retired or scrapped at the end of their service life by the end of the 1980s and early 1990s.

 ATLAS O  -  Product Reviews
When GE debuted its’ 2500 horsepower U25B in 1960, the locomotive building industry was turned upside down.
As this three-way competition for the second-generation diesel market unfolded, GE moved up to the second spot behind EMD in production of locomotives leaving Alco behind, never to recover.
EMD’s timing of the introduction of the GP35 seemed to be just right as a massive retirement of first generation locomotives was underway, and just like a new car dealership, railroads began trading in their worn out cab units for GP35s.
