The GE U50 was an eight-axle, 5,000 hp (3,700 kW) diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Rail. They were twin-engined locomotives, combining two 2,500 hp (1,900 kW) diesel engines. The U50 rode on four two-axle trucks, grouped in pairs linked by span bolsters, giving a wheel arrangement of B+B-B+B.

The GE U50C was a 5,000 hp (3,700 kW) diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems. Each was powered by two 2,500 hp (1,860 kW) diesel engines. [1] 40 were built between November 1969 and November 1971 solely …

U50是一款8轴5000HP的内燃电传动干线货运/调车机车.它也是通用电气有史以来生产的最强大的调车机车之一,1964年5月-6月生产,配备7FDL16 (2)型柴油机和西屋电气3CDC型空压机;最大运用速度70mph

2024年12月31日 · The U50C was General Electric's successor to its earlier U50 design of 1963. As Brian Solomon notes in his book, "GE Locomotives," improvements with the 7FDL prime mover enabled the company to offer this high horsepower variant with 12-cylinder power plants in place of the standard 16.

2023年8月1日 · GE built 40 U50C locomotives for UP between September 1969 and January 1971. (Their production dates largely mirrored those of the more successful EMD DDA40X.) They carried Nos. 5000-5039. They were 79 feet long, powered by two 12-cylinder FDL prime movers, and rode on two six-wheel trucks reused from UP’s gas-turbine locomotives.

2025年3月21日 · The GE motor requires about 2" greater distance from the axle to the nose support than the EMD motor, which would have required substantial casting changes and probably a stretched wheelbase. There is only one truck frame assembly drawing for the DD35's in the EMD Parts Catalog so I am quite sure it was not done by EMD.
