The Revolutionary GP-30 A new broad-range, unit-reducing mainline locomotive . . . twenty-two hundred and fifty working horsepower. . . . a major contribution from Electro-Motive research and product development . another dramatic step in maintenance reduction. Advancing the trend established by earlier General Purpose locomotive models, the GP-30 takes another long step in reducing scheduled maintenance. Dramatic maintenance reduction combined with greater operating flexibility-high speed freight runs today, heavy drag service tomorrow-provides a locomotive that will do more work at less cost than ever before. The GP-30, mixed with other General Purpose and freighttype units of a lesser horsepower, meets basic requirements of a "pool" locomotive. The GP-30 is a balanced design motive power unit. Its reliability and economies of operation and maintenance are measured in terms of greater capacity-fewer units required to meet today's freight schedules . . . sharply reduced maintenance requirements enhancing still further the General Motors Locomotive's long established record of higher availability . . . and increased operating efficiency resulting in further improvement in specific fuel consumption. The Revolutionary GP-30 is more than a locomotive with increased capacity. Motor characteristics, wheel slip control, weight distribution, and factors creating good adhesion have been carefully balanced to create a truly flexible and versatile locomotive. And . . . to protect the railroad's investment in older locomotives, the Revolutionary GP-30 offers even greater economy through the General Motors Locomotive Replacement Plan.
