It will always be a GP30 to me. The GP30 is one of my favorite second generation EMD units. The cowl over the cab roof was a distinctive and welcome relief from all the look-alike GP35's, GP40's, and SD40/40-2's of the early 70's-mid 80's. It is hard to believe the original model is now 50 years old and still on the road.
