GP30 Ownership

[nanaimo73]

Thanks Hawk. Has 2030 returned to service since it was damaged during 2003 ?

[hawk]

cvr gp30 # 3020 ex drgw # 3020 as of oct 27,2007 is still on the cvr and is in the shop has never left

milwaukee roads trucks for their gp30's came from alco rs-3's

It would be nice if the researchers and sound recorders for LIONEL traveled to Duluth to take photos and record sounds so they make a totally accurate version of Soo Line #700. They already make the EMD GP30 and the ALCo FA-2 Trucks. The people working at Lionel need to make sure the rest of the details are right. It is great to know that a GP30 has been fully restored.

Well if they ever want to come up here, they sure are welcome!

Boy does she look nice. She also handles real nice and smooth. We added an RS5T near the exhaust stack becasue the crews were complaining about how loud the Leslie over the cab was. I dont know myself, when I ran her I just let that baby wail, but maybe thats me.

We also added a gyralight on top.

If anyone wants to see some really nice pictures of here go to railpictures.net and look up Dave Schauer, and keep scrollling till you find the night pictures with her and the FP7 #2500.

 

Also, regarding BNSF GP39E's, most do still have the GP30 cab and fins, but some only have the fins. They are pretty easy to spot.

Dale, I do appreciate this lsit. Ever considered work for TRAINS?

[nanaimo73]

The Milwaukee Road, Soo Line and GM&O GP30 trucks were GSCs with GE 752 traction motors. The CMSP&P trucks came from traded in RS3's, while Soo Line and the GM&O ones came from traded in FA's.

[Andrew Falconer]

Soo Line and Milwaukee Road GP30s were placed on ALCo trucks.

From what Locomotives did the ALCo trucks originate?

Southern GP30s 2526 and 2641 were rebuilt in 12/65 as GP35s. This was done on account of  wreck damage. Source of data A J Kristopans EMD Serial Number Page.

Sorry, I forgot to mention several other recent GP30 sightings. I spotted two Palouse & Coulee City GP30s just last March while on a business trip to eastern Washington. One of them, still in P&CC red and black, was on a grain train coming off the Walla Walla line at the UP junction at Wallula, southeast of Pasco.

The other, painted in an overall yellow scheme, was parked at the P&CC, ex-Blue Mountain RR yard in Walla Walla, and lettered as a Remote Control Platform unit.

Puget Sound & Pacific #3005 was parked at UP's ex-SP Brooklyn (Portland, Ore.) Yard Just yesterday (June 17), among the wide range of other classic rolling stock owned by the preservation groups that use the old roundhouse there.

It was apparently waiting movement out after receiving some repairs by Doyle McCormack's shop crews. The local railfan grapevine reported that the Portland & Western had leased it to help handle an upsurge of traffic.
Incidentally, the P&W is also currently leasing an ex-Amtrak SDP40F/ATSF SDf40-2, (Amtrak #644), the same one that BNSF painted in Maersk Sealand colors (which it still wears). This unit is one of the privately-owned locomotives that calls Brooklyn home.

[mccannt]

By the (right of way)...

Several BNSF, ex-ATSF GP30s remain in local service in southern California. Last November, I photographed two of them on a local (with a real ATSF-painted caboose on the rear end!!!) passing the Amtrak/Metrolink depot in Fullerton. It's nice to see classic rolling stock still in service alongside the bilevel coaches, doublestacks and widecab locomotives that dominate trains through this hot spot.

[sarahd]

BNSF HAS MANY GP-30"S STILL RUNNING,LOCAL IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HAVE SOME MIXED IN WITH GP-35'S. IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOME,VICTORVILLE AND SAN BERNARDINO STILL HAVE SOME RUNNING,MOST ARE X-SANTA FE.

LONG LIVE CHICO!!!!!!!!

Hey nanaimo73,apparently both CP GP30's spent time on the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Rwy in the 1990's.

I know they were here while I was in Winnipeg (1988-1990), but I can't remember seeing them here after I got back here in August 1990. I think all of my pictures of them are from south Burnaby and New Westminister. They spent a lot of time avoiding me.

I don't know of any changes made by BN on the outside when they were rebuilt. They still have the same appearance.

Illinois Central made a lot of changes when they turned two GP30's into GP26's.

I've phtographed dozens of them (slides,sorry),and got to ride in the cab of a retired B&O GP30 through the Cumberland Narrows. The 30's have a brutish look that make them stand out. We still have GP30's (now road slugs) still running around on the CSX system.

Hey Dale. I appreciate your efforts. The GP30 is my personal favorite, and I've spent quite a bit of time reviewing this posting. Thank you.

You're welcome. I can't say they are great looking locomotives, but they have character. The only ones I've seen are the two ex CPR units.

The Illinois Southern GP30 in "The Fugitive" is former N&W 536. Only the shell was used for a wreck filmed on the Great Smokey Mountains Railway during February 1993.

About that Soo Line #700, I work with it and they just repainted it in May. The paint job is perfect and somehow, we got a Norfolk Southern firemans seat.......

[alstom]

Not being rude, but Dale, why do you post these outrageously long posts that nobody has the time to read? It is interesting, but I'm just saying!

Now about GP30s- I like how they look! I think they fit every paint scheme! I like their slug-like body and nose! They look sleek (spelling*). I especially like them in CSX's "New Image" paint scheme!

I thought they might haul some freight so I put them in with the shortlines (#41). Is this just a museum railroad ?

Thanks.


The GP30 was followed by the GP35, which suffered from poor electrical design. Production totals for the GP35 were 1307 for EMD and 26 for Canada (2 CN and 24 CP). The first GP35 was probably EMD 5652, which became UP 762. It is serial # 28319 on this website-

What nanaimo73 is doing takes a lot of time to put together. Especially the retirement and disposition data. Keep up the good work!

[Anonymous]

Nice list! Very informative. Do you happen to have a list of GP30's still in operation or a list for the GP35 in the works?

[nanaimo73]

This is meant to be a casual look at the wide variety of GP30 owners and the different paint schemes they have worn over the years. This is not an up to date list of how many GP30s are left.

The first GP30 was demonstrator 5629, which was built during July 1961. A second demonstrator, 5639, was built during March 1962. These were followed by 906 locomotives built for 29 railways, including 2 built by GMD for Canadian Pacific. Another 40 GP30B cabless locomotives were built for Union Pacific, bringing the total to 948. The Reading was the first Railroad to buy the GP30, followed by the D&RGW, CB&Q and the AT&SF. Lousiville and Nashville received the last GP30s built. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy ordered 5 GP30s which were delivered as GP35s, and Western Pacific ordered 10 high hood GP30s that also came as GP35s. There were several differences over the production run, and they are detailed in this roster by Robert Sarberenyi.

EMD Demonstrators
The first demonstrator, the 5629 was later renumbered 1962. Union Pacific purchased the unit and it became the 875. The second demonstrator was the 5639 and it became Seaboard Air Line 1343.

The 29 original owners-

1-Alaska Railroad
The ARR bought 1 GP30, the 2000, which was built during March 1963. It was later renumbered to 2504 and scrapped in 2001.

2-Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe received 85 GP30s in two orders. The first 35 (1200-34) came in 1962 and 50 more (1235-84) were built during 1963. 83 of these were renumbered to 3200-3284 and then 79 became 2700-2784 when they were rebuilt into GP30r. 27 ATSF GP30s were painted into Kodachromes and 25 are
on this roster. The 78 survivors became BNSF 2400-2477. Toledo Peoria & Western's only GP30, the 700, became ATSF 3285 and then 2785 before becoming BNSF 2458.

Baltimore & Ohio's 77 GP 30s were made in 1962 and 1963 and were numbered 6900 to 6976. Most of these were renumbered to CSXT 4105 to 4266. At least 34 units became CSX road slugs numbered from 2201 to 2322. And at least 12 were sold to shortlines Alabama and Gulf Coast, Arizona Central, California Northern, Eastern Idaho, Ohio Central, Puget Sound and Pacific and South Kansas and Oklahoma. Some of these moved onto Conrad Yelvington Distributors, Webb Asset Management and Power Mountain Coal. B&O 6944 is now at the B&O Railroad Museum and B&O 6973 is now Branson Scenic 99.
