Introduced in 1961, the GP30 was possibly the most distinctive diesel ever
built in large numbers. The appearance of the new locos could also be
changed by customer specifications. Although replaced by the new 35 Line
in 1963, GP30s led long, productive lives in mainline service, and a few
remain in revenue service on shortlines today.
