The 2300 horsepower GE U23C diesel-electric locomotive model was first offered by GE in 1968 and featured a V-type 12 cylinder version of the standard GE FDL diesel motor. Designed as a competitor to EMD’s SD38 and SD39 series it was intended for heavy transfer drag and hump service where speed was not a priority. Other than six tall hood doors matching six power assemblies per side there are very few features which distinguish the U23C from the U30C.
