Yeah, only about 155! </font>[/QUOTE]Well there were less than 1000 GP30's built and most RR's never had them. Harold

U30B ~ 292 U23B ~ 465 U30C ~ 600 C630 ~ 133 C424 ~ 190 The list goes on. GP30s were bought by: ACL ARR ATSF B&O CB&Q CEI CGW CNW C&O D&RGW GM&O KCS L&N MILW NKP N&W NYC PRR READING SAL SOO SOUTHERN SP SSW TP UP
NICE! Is the N&W the only one to have High noses? I would guess Southern had high noses too. What do ya think?
Southern actually had more than N&W: N&W: 44, the rest were SOUTHERN [EDIT I goofed above on the total production, the total # of hi-nose units should be more like 164 Southern 120 N&W 44] Supposedly, WP had placed an order for Hi-nose GP30s, then cancelled the order.

I jumped in on photography at the right time.... I actually have photos of most of the NS GP30's! Harold
Hal, Thanks for sharing those photos! As usual, many of us take things for granted until they are gone! Mark
Yes, that is one of the great things about photographing things that we see: they may be gone tomorrow! Harold
I have always liked the GP30's with their 60's "modernistic" appearance.... I was truly surprisd when I saw my first low nosed units! Harold
