Remove ads
The GE U17C diesel–electric locomotive was introduced by GE Transportation as an export model road switcher locomotive in 1973. Easy to spot due to its relatively short length — 52 ft 9 in (16.08 m) — it was powered by the 8-cylinder FDL-8T engine.[citation needed] Very similar to the U18B, it included an extended body section to house a larger air filter and cooling units.
Original purchasers included Syria's CFS,[1][2] and the Hedjaz Jordan Railway.
The GE U17C was also used on the Aqaba Railway Corporation for transporting phosphates from the Mines to Aqaba.
