In 1959, General Electric surprised the industry by introducing a new line of Roadswitchers called the Universal Series. Known affectionately as 'U-Boats,' these powerful locomotives are loved for their unusual appearance, their distinctive chugging sounds, and their tendency to spew thick clouds of sooty black smoke into the air.

Our camera crews traveled across the country in 1995 to seek out and record surviving U-Boats. The result is a terrific collection of exciting images that present the entire line in chronological order, starting with the revolutionary U25B. This classic retrospective is now available to you with the enhanced viewing features of DVD! Seen in action are:

* Southern Pacific U25B #3100
