General Electric U23Bs
Guilford started with 15 General Electric U23Bs, but was down to 4 by 1988. I have pictures of 3 of them
The U23B series was built between August of 1968 and June of 1977, weighs 252,000 lbs and uses a 4-cycle model FDL12 diesel prime mover that develops 2250 hp, and 85,800 lb of tractive effort, and carries 1700 gallons of fuel. My thanks to The Diesel Shop for the information.
