The GE C32-8 was a 6-axle diesel locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems in 1984. Only 10 of these 3,200 HP locomotives were built. These were some of the first locomotives built in the DASH-8 line with all 10 going to Conrail. When delivered they wore the standard Conrail blue paint scheme. In 1997 Conrail assigned all 10 Units to "Ballast Express" service. They were repainted into a Gray version of the Quality scheme.
