[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dehusman The U23b was intended for low horsepower applications (locals). GE was making the U33, U36 and other high horsepower models. Same reason EMD was making GP38's the same time it was making SD45's, and SD50's. Dave H. [/quote] But why not stick with the U25B. The U23B had 2250 horsepower so that would be 250 less than the U25B. It still doesn't make sense to me to have a new model with less horsepower even if it was just 250 horsepower less. So 250 horsepower is the defining line between low horsepower and high horsepower. I am not seeing something here. It still just doesn't make sense. Was there a size difference between the two? If the U23B was smaller in length then I could see "something" there. But if the two were the same size with just a difference in the powerplant then once again, it wouldn't make sense to me. Not for just 250 horsepower. Call me hard-headed if you must, but I still don't see it. Not for 250 horsepower. Wabash, L. C., and you other engineers beat me with a piece of rail and help me see the light. lol. Tell me, can you equate 250 horsepower into pulling 1 car, or 5 cars? Why is 2500 considered high horsepower when it is only 250 horsepower more than 2250 horsepower? Why not say high horsepower begins at 3000 horsepower, at least that would be 750 more horsepower? Who decided all this anyway? I want to have a talk with them. I will straighten them out. lol ok, up outta the floor and stop laughing.
