Encyclopedia : G : GE : GEB : GE B30-7
The GE B30-7 diesel locomotive model was offered first by GE in 1977, featuring a 16 cylinder motor. It is 61 ft 2 in long. A change to the original B30-7 was using the 12 cylinder FDL rated at 3000 horsepower, resulting in a B30-7A, B30-7A1 and a B30-7AB. B30-7As were built only for the Missouri Pacific. B30-7A1s were built only for the Southern Railway. Cabless B30-7AB were built only for the Burlington Northern Railroad.
