The GE U33C is a 6-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems between January 1968 and January 1975.^[1] 375 examples of this locomotive were built for 11 North American railroads and one construction contractor.

Three former Conrail (née Erie Lackawanna) units were rebuilt by GE in 1987 and sold to Island Creek Coal for the Antaibao surface mine in China.

A cab built from numerous GE locomotive parts representing D&H #757 is preserved at the Toronto Railway Museum and is currently in use as a locomotive simulator.^[2]
