GE U30B Phase I


Illinois Central  No. 5002



3000 HP Loco Hauls It All!


Much like the U28B it succeeded, the versatile GE U30B was designed to be equally adept at hauling fast freights or heavy drags.

Designers squeezed 3,000 horsepower from the same 16-cylinder engine used in the 2,800-horsepower U28B, thus making it a direct competitor to EMD's GP40.

Almost 300 U30Bs were produced for the U.S. market and many units remained in service into the 80s and 90s.

By 2006, only a handful remained, working for shortline and regional roads.

  • Five-pole, skew-wound motor with dual flywheels
  • Heavy die cast chassis
  • Applied detail parts
  • 8-pin DCC plug socket so you can add the decoder of your choice
