U30C locomotive was General Electric’s alternative to EMD’s SD40 series. In that ten year time frame, GE built 600 U30C’s for a wide variety of operators. The largest customer was the BN, with 180 units compared to the US DOT, which purchased a single locomotive for their Pueblo test facility. Detroit Edison and Kaiser Steel might have been the most unique operators to purchase the U30 (DE receiving 11 and Kaiser with 5). The Kaiser Steel U30’s hauled ore trains from mine to mill in California’s Eagle Mountain, while the Detroit Edison locomotives were assigned unit train duties from the coal fields in western Pennsylvania to DTE’s generating station in Monroe, Michigan. By the late 80’s, most U30C’s had been retired, while a handful remained in operation for second hand operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdirondack floating bolster trucks with or without bearing caps as appropriate per railroad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler pocket designed to accept AccuMate Proto-couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden-white LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntenna detail where appropriate per road name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic die-cast underframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels for optimum performance at all speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately-installed scale windshield wipers, metal grab irons and fine scale handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith or without nose headlight as appropriate per railroad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-operating cab roof-top beacon detail where appropriate per road name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed crew members\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarker lights with separate lenses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnowplow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately-applied drop steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended radius: 22\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eNOTE: NOS (New Old Stock) \/ USED items are as-is and not returnable.
