If you have or can get a copy of the March 1988 issue of "Pacific Rail News". In it there is an article on the Eagle Mountain RR. It has some photos of their U30C's.

Nightcrawler,
Did a roadname search at the Index of Magazines and found this article citation:

GE's U30C Diesel Era, March/April 1994, page 6 ( ACL, BN, C&NW, C&O, CB&Q, D&H, DETX, DIESEL, FCP, GE, KSX, L&N, MILW, MP, N&W, PRR, RDG, RI, ROSTER, SOO, SP, SR, U30C, UBOAT, UP, ENGINE, LOCOMOTIVE, PROTOTYPE, DE )

Don't know whether it includes any photos of U30Cs in KSX livery. Possibly the NMRA's Kalmbach Memorial Library:
http:www.nmra.org/library/
might have a copy of that issue, and you could order a photocopy of the article contingent on it having a photo of a KSX U30C.
