The U30C was the most popular of General Electric’s “Universal” locomotive series, selling 592 units built beginning in 1967. Buyers included Burlington Northern, Louisville & Nashville (pictured), Milwaukee Road, Pennsylvania, Reading, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, and others. This unit has lost its L&N markings in the transition to a Seaboard System identity.
