General Electric’s “Dash 7” locomotive line was introduced as a replacement for the older “Universal-Series” of the 1960s and early 1970s. “Dash 7” series improvements included increased fuel efficiency, tractive effort and reliability. The B23-7 was a direct replacement for the 2250 horsepower U23B model. The first units were produced for Conrail in September, 1977. Production continued through 1984, with a total of 535 units built.

There were three distinct “phases” to B23-7 production. This model is of a “phase 1” unit with a 36’2” wheel base. Phase 1 production lasted through the spring of 1979.
