The first C-B-C diesels (road numbers 600-605) were delivered by General Electric in 1950. But they sat idle until 1954 because the politically influential union initially refused to let the railroad use them. Once in service the new diesels quickly proved their worth and in 1956 six more or less identical units (606-611) were added.
