2015年12月27日 · Of the 948 GP30s built by EMD, Union Pacific purchased 152 units in the one year period between July 1962 and July 1963. Included in the total were 112 units with cabs, and 40 cabless, or "booster" units. This 152-unit fleet was delivered in four separate groups: UP 800-874, UP 875, UP 700-735, and UP 700B-739B.

Introduced in 1961, the General Purpose 30 locomotive is easily recognized due to its unique engine-hood style. Utilizing the 567-series engine, the GP30 produced 2250HP. To reduce costs of new units, some GP30s were built using AAR Type-B trucks from trade-in ALCO locomotives.

2025年2月20日 · The GP30 was EMD's first to feature the now-common pointed, low, short hood. This design became EMD's standard until the FRA mandated the wide "safety" cab on every new locomotive in the 1990s. Interestingly, the GP30 abandoned EMD's brief attempt at attributing horsepower rating to the model name.
