The GE FDL-16 prime mover was first used in 1959 in the General Electric U25B locomotive. Over the years little changed in terms of sound until the "Dash-8" series of GE locomotives was introduced. Known for their throaty chug and shaft driven compressor (rather than the more modern “Whoop” electric compressor) , the following GE locomotives used the early 16cyl FDL prime mover:

U25B
U28B
U30B
U33B
U36B
U25C
U28C
U28CG
U30C
U30CG

U34CH
U33C
U36C
B30-7
B36-7
