The basic GP7\/9\/18\/20 platform was stretched slightly to allow for a larger fuel tank for increased range and tractive effort. Having proven the advantages of turbocharging in the predecessor GP20, the turbocharged 16-567 prime mover was retained, though receiving a slight boost to 2,250hp. The biggest change came in the carbody design, which featured an all-new main electrical cabinet at the rear of the cab, which drastically changed the cab height and profile in comparison to the GP20. EMD would also introduce a centralized air system as well, with an inertial air intake and filtration system to provide clean pressurized air to the locomotive. And in an unusual twist, EMD engineers would turn to parent GM’s automotive styling department to help blend all of these new features into the carbody.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eThe result of all of these design features was the GP22. With its model number falling in line with its horsepower rating and EMD’s numbering system at the time, this new demonstrator locomotive for 1961 looked like no other in the EMD lineup. The taller electrical cabinet, combined with the styling input from GM, created a “humpback” from the cab back, extending into the inertial air filter compartment, ending in fairings that straddled the roofline and concealed optional dynamic braking equipment. Coming with a low-short hood as standard, the cab face featured a “vee” profile, offering improved visibility and reduced glare for the crew. The cab front roofline was set back in a unique brow, and the flat cab roof rolled gracefully down on each side into a stepped fairing, all blending into the long hood roofline.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eThe demo unit, numbered 5629, quickly set out to prove its capabilities and features to the railroads. But before long, EMD would re-designate its new general-purpose unit the “GP30”, mainly as a marketing move, the rationale being the model number “30” being greater than the “25” of the competition. They would also tout “30” design features and improvements over previous models. This change, along with a return trip to LaGrange for a new demonstrator paint scheme and some styling tweaks to the carbody that would give it the definitive GP30 “look”, would set the stage for the GP30’s arrival on the railroad scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eThe GP30 would prove to be a winner for EMD, outselling the upstart U25B nearly 2:1, with examples being sold to most major railroads of the era by the time production ended in 1963.  \u003cspan\u003eTo accommodate 3-person crews consisting of engineer, conductor, and head brakeman riding on the locomotive, UP asked EMD to enlarge the cab, which they did by lengthening the left side of the cab by several inches, allowing space for a third seat on that side of the cab. This also resulted in the deletion of a handrail stanchion that was immediately behind the cab on the left side, providing another spotting feature besides the increased cab length aft of the side window opening. This special request went on to be a standard feature on GP30s built from late 1962 onward.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eThe largest original GP30 owner was Union Pacific, acquiring a total of 112 standard GP30s, and 40 cabless GP30Bs, the only owner of that type. These cabless units came in two distinct groups; standard GP30Bs intended as freight booster units, and steam-generator equipped GP30Bs meant for passenger duty, typically trailing behind SDP35s on secondary trains, such as troop trains of servicemen embarking to the conflict brewing in Southeast Asia in the mid-1960s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #ff0000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies - Your #1 Largest Authorized ScaleTrains Retailer!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ScaleTrains N","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48320360054937,"sku":"SXT39998","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/1738352426.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784158709","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/scaletrains-rivet-counter-n-sxt39998-dcc-ready-emd-gp30-locomotive-union-pacific-dependable-transportation-up-812","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
