The GE Universal Series locomotives were diesel locomotives launched by GE in early 1956. Initially, there were nine U-series models: U4B, U6B, U9B, U9C, U12B, U12C, U18B, U18C and UD18B. They were designed to be readily adaptable to different track gauges for export markets. The U5B and U8B appeared later, being first built for RFFSA, Brazil in 1961 .[1] They are often called "U-Boats" by raifans & model railroaders.
