| Title: |
IC U30B #5000 - Illinois Central |
| Description: |
This solid diesel was built by GE in February, 1967 along with 5 sister units. The 6 U30B's were the first non-EMD locomotives bought new by IC since a single GE 44-tonner was purchased in 1947. Needless to say, the U30B's were definitely out of place on the IC. They had 16 notch throttles which weren't popular with train crews. Meanwhile, maintaining parts was a hassle, since the IC was almost 100% EMD. Despite this, the U30B's (minus 5003 which was wrecked in 1979) remained on the roster until 1982. Once their equipment trusts had expired the five surviving U30B's were sold as Iowa Railroad 20-22, 24-25. |

U30B on the IC |
| Description: |
U-Boats were never common on the IC. In 1967-68 the road sampled GE's product with small orders of six U30Bs and ten U33Cs. U30B 5005 is shown here at East St Louis in serious need of a bath; it was one of five that were sold to the short-lived Iowa RR in 1982. |
