Off lease, off roster, off to be scrapped |
| Description: |
GE's early US-market U25Bs bore many features from the export Universal-series models it was developed from. Frisco would buy these demonstrator units, then sold them back to GE. They would later be leased out to power-short Conrail until it had enough new locomotives of its own to replace many of the antiques, orphans, and beaters it inherited. Now no. 807 and no. 805 await a tow to their final stop, Naporano Iron & Metal, to be cut up and reformed into actual GE toasters. A. C. Specht photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum |

Grounded U-Boats |
| Description: |
A pair of PC U25Bs appear to have picked a switch at the south end of the Beacon Park yard in the Allston district of Boston. While PC is now a part of Conrail, there's still some bugs to work out. Switchers look like they are scurrying about as usual in the background. Ralph L. Phillips photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum. |

Retired rivals |
| Description: |
C425 no. 5080 and U25B no. 2616 were bitter rivals after the acrimonious end of the Alco/GE partnership. GE would vanquish Alco, but in this case the competing products are meeting the same end at the same time. John C. Benson photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum. |
