Photos #5, #6 and #7 show EMD SD9043MAC's, not the GE ES44's that now wear road numbers 8016 and 8185.

The 12 year service life on the U30C's does not speak well of their builder...

Loved the big Union Pacific U30C's with the silvered trucks. A solid, purposeful all-about-the-business look with those clean lines and that short, pug nose. With a touch of class from the silvered trucks. Used to see them at Kansas City on visits there from my home at the time in St. Louis, and it was always a treat. Thanks, Marty.
