Title:
"Trains" Magazine, December 1967
Description:
Here is a photo that was published originally in the December 1967 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 42. Partial Caption: "U-30C's are 67 feet 3 inches long, can be ballasted from a basic 360,000 to 420,000 pounds, carry 4000 gallons of fuel, incorporate GE's FDL16D V-16 engine, and can be geared from 70 mph." Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6539, a GF-30A built by General Electric in February of 1967 and rated at 3,000 horsepower. There were just five engines of this class; they were the last locomotives ever ordered by and delivered to the "Standard Railroad of the World."
