Date: 03/05/15 14:50 Re: GP30 Thursday - Still Earning Her Keep Author: RFandPFan It's what Chessie System designated their GP30's after rebuild.
From Wikipedia... The Chessie System rebuilt its GP30 units into GP30Ms [2], and they lasted with CSX into the mid-to-late 1990s, long after Seaboard System GP30s had been sold, retired and scrapped, or turned into road slugs[3].
