Explore the legendary EMD GP30 diesel locomotive, one of 948 units built between 1961-1963 by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division for railroads across North America. The GP30 represents a major milestone in diesel locomotive engineering, featuring a powerful 2,250 horsepower 16-cylinder 567D3 engine designed to compete directly with GE's U25B. With its iconic "hump" body profile created by GM's Automotive Styling Center and distinctive cab roof design, the GP30 continues to captivate model railroaders and railroad historians. This revolutionary Geep combined sealed long hood construction, centralized air intake systems, and improved turbocharger efficiency-engineering innovations that influenced locomotive design for generations.
