Department of Transportation GE built U30C no 001

Department of Transportation GE built U30C no 001

This large loco, formerly owned by the federal government and used at the famous "test track" near Pueblo, is painted red, white and blue. The 3000 horsepower U30C was a successful locomotive with over 600 units sold and delivered by General Electric between 1966 and 1976. Most of these powerful locos have been scrapped. A few remain in museums. Only a unit at the Illinois Railroad Museum is known to still operate. A few were exported and their current fate is not known.
