GE U30B
The GE U30B was a further development of the U28B road switcher diesel-electric locomotive, with a 16-cylinder prime mover. It remained in production for over eight years. The U30B competed with the EMD GP40 and the ALCO Century 430, but was not as successful as the GE U30C.
After the merger between the Western Pacific and the Union Pacific, U30B 3051 was donated to the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in 1985. Another one, VLIX 5323, is a former Louisville & Nashville U28B rebuilt to U30B specs.Original owners
