    I only caught one U25 live and this was the one: [​IMG]

    Hard to believe that this guy is kin to all the thousands of Dash 9's running around :D

    As many of those that I saw, albeit on other railroads during the 1960's, and 1970's, burping gallons of oil all over the place..... I'm surprised one lasted into SBD days!

    :D

    Always liked the look of the 25's. Yes Harold it sure was a forerunner of a LOT of locomotives [​IMG]

    I know GE made them as high nosed units, but that might have only been the demonstrators... (Must have caught the Southern Rwy's attention [​IMG] )

    I am guessing that the picture I took was around 1985 in Raleigh.
