Design The General Electric Model U25B diesel-electric locomotive is especially designed and built to meet the requirements of modern high-speed freight traffic. The design provides for high horsepower per axle with a minimum of equipment and weight. A low nose (short hood) and large windows are provided for maximum visibility.

The operating cab, located between the engine hood and the nose (short) hood, provides optimum visibility for operating in either direction. The control station is at the right side with the nose hood leading.

Power The diesel engine is the primary power source. A traction generator is directly connected to the diesel engine and furnishes power to the axle-mounted traction motors. Full utilization of the horsepower output of the engine is available throughout the speed range of the locomotive by means of the electric transmission.

Operation Locomotive operation is controlled by a master con­troller and by independent air brake and automatic air brake handles conveniently located to permit operation with either end leading.

The direction of motion is controlled by a reverse lever. The throttle and reverse levers are interlocked to prevent the reverser from being thrown unless the throttle handle is in the off position.

Materials All materials are in accordance with AAR specifica-

Page 2

tions where they apply. High standards of quality control are maintained. Materials and locomotive specifications are subject to change without notice.

Safety Appliances All safety appliances are in accord with the General Electric Company's interpretation of current ICC regulations.

Testing All component parts of the locomotive are given standard commercial tests before assembly on the locomotive. Each complete locomotive is tested as follows: 1. Control wiring is checked by observing sequence

of contactor and relay operation and by testing for continuity of circuit between terminals.

2. High-potential tests of traction and control circuits are made in accordance with current A.S.A. standards.

3. Air brake tests are conducted to check pipe leak­age and operation of the devices.

4. The power plant is tested at full load to check and adjust generator characteristics and engine performance, including power and speed.

Painting Interior: Gray enamel. Underframe and Running Gear: Black, or customer's color choice.

Interior of Battery Compartment: Special acid resisting paint.

Exterior: Finish painted in customer's color choice.
