U23B was GE’s intermediate-sized four-axle road-switcher of the late 1960s through the mid 1970s. The U23B’s direct competitor during this period was the very successful EMD GP38. In 10 years of production from 1968 through 1977 a total of 481 units were produced, making this the second best seller of GE’s “Universal Series” locomotives. The first units were delivered to the Delaware \u0026amp; Hudson in August and September 1968. CSX predecessors Chesapeake \u0026amp; Ohio and Louisville \u0026amp; Nashville had a combined fleet of 120 units, giving CSX one of the larger active fleets in later years. Penn Central, Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific also purchased sizeable fleets of U23Bs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePrimary spotting features include a stepped-out radiator section and two sets of three tall engine access doors near the center of the long hood. During production, the U23B was equipped with various truck side frames, including Blomberg trucks from EMD trade-in locomotives, AAR-style trucks, or GE’s own four-axle “FB2” truck. One of these three truck styles is included on our model where appropriate per road name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eToday the number of active U23B’s has dwindled, but a handful can still be found working for short lines and regional railroads in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Atlas HO Scale Locomotives:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtlas HO scale locomotives are noted for their prototypical, fine details, printing, reliability, excellent throttle response, and smooth operation at slow speeds. They are often available in both Silver Sound Ready and Gold Sound Equipped versions, allowing you to choose which experience you want from your locomotive right from the start. Will you run with sound and DCC controls, or will you run them without with the possibility of upgrading later? No matter what you choose, your Atlas HO scale locomotive will provide you with years of enjoyment and smooth operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Atlas Master Line Locomotives:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtlas Master Line locomotives and rolling stock are highly detailed models that faithfully recreate the prototype down to the paint scheme and even railroad-specific details. They are offered in two varieties--Atlas Master Silver and Atlas Master Gold. Atlas Master Silver locomotives are sound and DCC-ready, with the appropriate speaker and plugs so you can use whatever decoder you prefer. Atlas Master Gold locomotives are DCC and sound-equipped right out of the box, making them the perfect choice for those who don't want to deal with installing decoders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ATLAS MODEL RAILROAD CO., INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44864758382637,"sku":null,"price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/6618\/7309\/files\/10004911.jpg?v=1776881593","url":"https:\/\/jrjunction.com\/products\/10004913-conrail-u23b-2760-silver-sound-ready-ho","provider":"Jr Junction Train \u0026 Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
