Norfolk Southern's High Nose GP30s

[DonHarding]

Does anyone know if any of these engines are pulling revenue freight today on a shortline of some sort?

I saw an NS high nose GP30 through Wyandotte maybe a year ago or longer. I've got one in HO.

No way in hell did you see an NS GP30 at all in the last 2 years. NS GP30's have been gone for a long time. The only things even remotely close to an NS GP30 that have been operational in the last decade are the Wheeling GP35's that came from NS/SOU, and most of those are gone now as well.

The only ex NS GP30's I'm aware of are preserved. There's a Southern one at Tenessee Valley RR Museum and an N&W one at the Virginia Museum of Transportation owned by the Roanoke Chapter of the NRHS.

I think you mean the highhood GP50's we used to see quite a bit at Oak Street.

They really need to put those two together for some kind of photo charter soon... They're both gorgeous.

That's got to be one of the most hideous looking locomotives I've ever seen.

It kind of reminds me of this:
