C30-7 Thursday, that is. Here's an NS C30 leading manifest freight 48G, the successor of ALCA, out of Allentown Yard and past CP-Burn on 6/17/02. Anyone know when the C30s were purged from the roster. JG

NS 8523 was a C36-7 that was sold to Vitoria-Minas Railway (EFVM) in Brazil and rebuilt into a BB36-7 in April 2004.

OK, thanks! Forgot NS had some of the "straight deck" 36s back in the day.

I believe that the last of Norfolk Southern's C30-7 fleet was retired in May of 2001. Those standard cab C36-7s (8500s) must have hung on a little longer.

The Norfolk and Western C30-7s were numbered 8003-8082. Of those, the 8010 and 8076-8080 were painted Tuscan red with Duluxe Gold lettering. There were three similar locomotives acquired earlier designated U30C by General Electric and the first low-nose diesels bought by N&W.
