General Electric's C30-7A model is unique to Conrail. The 50 3000 horse power units were delivered in 1984. Internally, these locomotive differ greatly from their older C30-7 brothers, being powered by the new FDL series diesel engine. These units have spent their lives mostly in New England, working out of Selkirk Yard in Albany, New York.

C30-7A's 6570 and 6567 leave Allentown Yard with a westbound train on July 13, 1984. I took this photo standing on the remains of the eastbound hump, which was removed in the late 1970's. R tower is visible behind the lead unit. |
