Burlington Northern GP-30


Seen at the head of a southbound freight train at Steilacoom, Washington (a little to the southwest of Tacoma), in April 1975.

A total of 948 units were built of this 2,250 hp (1,680 kW) Bo-Bo diesel-electric by EMD between July 1961 and November 1963. Only 2 went to Canada. The total included 40 cabless B units for the Union Pacific.
