General Electric introduced the
first "Dash" line of diesels with the C30-7. Equipped with a 3,000 hp
16-cylinder diesel, it quickly found favor with several railroads and became a
success for General Electric.
The C30-7's are still in service
today, though several have found their way to leasing companies from their first
owners.
The early production units had
four windows on each side of the cab, but rules in 1980 for making windows
"projectile resistant" eliminated the outer windows in later
production and those same windows were filled in with sheet metal on the early
units.
BLI will offer both cab styles to
match proto-type needs.
