EMD GP30 L&N Paint Scheme

Description
Louisville & Nashville GP30

Background
The EMD GP30 is a 2,250 hp (1,680 kW) four-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois between July 1961 and November 1963. A total of 948 units were built for railroads in the United States and Canada. It was the first so-called "second generation" EMD diesel locomotive, and was produced in response to increased competition by a new entrant, General Electric's U25B. The GP30 is easily recognizable due to its high profile and stepped cab roof, unique among American locomotives. A number are still in service today in original or rebuilt form.

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad, commonly called the L&N, was a Class I railroad that operated freight and passenger services in the southeast United States. Operating under one name continuously for 132 years, it survived civil war and economic depression and several waves of social and technological change. The railroad was economically strong throughout its lifetime, operating freight and passenger trains in a manner that earned it the nickname, "The Old Reliable." Growth of the railroad continued until its purchase and the tumultuous rail consolidations of the 1980s which led to continual successors. By the end of 1970, L&N operated 6,063 miles of road on 10,051 miles of track. In 1971 the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, successor to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, purchased the remainder of the L&N shares it did not already own, and the company became a subsidiary. By 1982 the railroad industry was consolidating quickly, and the Seaboard Coast Line absorbed the Louisville & Nashville Railroad entirely. Then in 1986, the Seaboard System merged with the C&O and B&O (known as the Chessie System) and the combined company became CSX Transportation, which now owns and operates all of the former Louisville and Nashville lines.

Startup
Hop in the cab through the front left door. You have to crouch to fit through 1). Close the Main Battery Switch on the rear cab wall 2). Turn on Control, Local Control, Traction Motor Isolation and Fuel Pump Circuit switches 3). Turn on the Horn Cut-In switch unless you have infinite electricity enabled 4). On the forward control stand, turn on the Generator Field and Fuel Pump switches 5). Head back to the cab wall and press and hold the Fuel Prime switch for ~10 seconds 6). Press the starter and ensure the engine turns over. If it stalls you probably didn't prime the engine for long enough 7). Toggle the Isolation Switch to "Run"
Master Unit Setup
This checklist is for the master locomotive in a multiple unit or single unit consist 1). Insert the reverser handle on the control stand 2). Turn on the Engine Run switch on the cab wall 3). Configure the headlight selector panel 4). Turn on the MU-2 valve and the Cut-In switch 4). Make sure to connect to any other locomotives in the consist using electric cables, if you are doing MUs
Slave Unit Setup
This checklist is for the slave in a multiple unit consist 1). Ensure the Engine Run switch is off and the reverser handle is not inserted 2). Configure the headlight selector panel appropriately 3). Ensure the MU-2 valve and Cut-In switch are both off All locomotives operating in MU configuration must be connected with electric cables and equipped with ESS-2. Each locomotive has 2 that can be found on the platforms at either end. Connect the cables to the cable anchors above the coupler. To get moving, set the reverser direction, put the selector in THROTTLE/HANDLE ON mode, and throttle up. Notch 3 seems to be most efficient with no cars.

This locomotive is reasonably powerful and can pull the brick at 35mph. It has a lot of subgrids though, so be careful using it in multiplayer.

Thanks for sharing this train. It's a beauty and I have really enjoyed driving it around the map.
Enzocats  [author] 23 Apr, 2023 @ 8:14am 
Is the reverser set to forward or reverse? And is the selector set to throttle and not off?

Its cool and everything, but its just not working... I followed the startup steps and the engine is on (at 252 rmp) but when I press Throttle Notch Up nothing happens... The breaks are released.

but umm i would maybe make the tutorial on how to start it up a bit less comfusing it might be close to the real thing but its a bit more challenging to start even to just get the engine to run and you forgot the smoke out of the top but uh yea thats all I would request of this
AceNCognito 20 Jan, 2023 @ 8:26pm 
can you make more designs for this engine it would really give it the top edge on perfection if your up to having fun on just painting but its not necessary its just if you want all popular train companies to be seen by some users who might better know trains in their search for good designs on the workshop but still good design I would approve if so you should try making some other trains that might not be seen a lot but I gotta hand it too ya in all my years what you did with the nose of this engine is mind blowing compared to trying to make that so I just love it my dude! :steamthis: :steamthumbsup: :steamsalty: :steamhappy: :raijin_love: :raijin_love: :raijin_love:
