Where are those GN and MILW U-boats from? Seems like the latter would have a good home on Avery-Drexel

What is a "U-boat"??
Regards,
The U-Boat was a class of Nazi submarine that were very efficient and reliable. When General Electric released their Universal Series of engines starting with the U25B and U25C, the name was added due to the preceding "U." The name was also given because they were a tank of a locomotive line that was reliable and served railroads for decades. The U-Boat, in this case, is the American locomotive type. I have a feeling a few made it into Canada too
They, in fact, we’re very reliable when maintained and operated correctly. Union Pacific had U-Boats that survived into the late 80’s, CSX had some into the 2000’s.
If you are being sarcastic, nobody asked for your opinion. Get off my thread.
NBandW, those are some awesome shots. Keep it up!
This is very much a public thread and you will be reported for bullying.

Oh!!! Naaahhh!!!!1 jit trippin... He reported him for bullying and he didnt even do anything...,,, thats crazy!!1!
Santa Fe and BN also had U boats that lasted 80's and 90's. Plus a number of U boats made it into second hand service on regionals and short lines. But the key was maintaining them... something the Southern Pacific and the Rock Island failed to do.
