The GE U28B diesel-electric locomotive model replaced the U25B in early 1966, featuring a slightly uprated prime mover (only 300 hp (220 kW) more power than the U25B). Early units had the same car body styling as the U25B, while later units had design features (e.g., shortened nose) more in common with later models.

The Burlington purchased 20 examples of GE's U28B. The BN would inhert that group, plus six Great Northern U28Bs. The Western Pacific owned U30-B diesels, but Athearn produced a U28-B for the WP.

While EMD and ALCO offered 3,000 hp diesel locomotives as early as 1965, GE delivered some U25Cs uprated to 2,750 hp. The first six-axle U28C with 2,800 hp were delivered in November 1965 and the first four-axle U28B in January 1966.

The GE U28B first hit the rails in 1966 and offered owners a boost to 2,800 horsepower in a versatile road locomotive that was equally at home on fast freights or heavy drags. Early U28s looked like their predecessors, but GE updated the body shortly after production began with a shorter nose and slightly bulging radiator area.
