General Electric U33Bs

Guilford acquired nine of these locomotives with the purchase of the Delaware & Hudson, of which I have pictures of the B&M 192.

The U33B series was built between September of 1967 and June of 1970, weighs 219,000 lbs and uses a 4-cycle model FDL16 diesel prime mover that develops 3300 hp, and 70,000 lb of tractive effort, and carries 1700 gal. or 2900 gal. of fuel. My thanks to The Diesel Shop for the information.

Classification (Freight Cars)	A system by which each car is given a priority code, a destination code, and a routing code. The combined code is the actual classification and is used to determine which train the car will be put on. The switch list for a train is then made up from these classifications.
