Bob Hart takes over the sandblasting chores for awile. The museum's reasons for wanting the 2525 were several. It was the last new locomotive purchased by the New Haven Railroad. Although GE had built small industrial and yard type switch engines since at least the mid 1930's and supplied electrical components to the major builders, the U25-B was GE's first entry into the road locomotive field. It also pioneered innovations such as the centralised air intake system and positive pressure carbody.
