Description:  MP U30C number 7 is the trailing unit on a WB freight entering El Paso in May 1973 behind a quartet of SD40s (704, 744, 729, 705). It was the first unit of MP's second order for U30Cs and delivered as MP 966 in 1969. Like the rest of the class it number continued to change, becoming MP 3306 and MP 2971 before retirement in 1984.

MP 11
Title:  MP 11
Description:  MP U30C's were VERY uncommon in New Orleans, so it was really special to find the 11 as the trailing unit on a transfer run from the MoP's Race Street Yard to Avondale Yard. The train is on the New Orleans Public Belt at Oak Street, and the two tracks in the foreground were the former KCS-NOPB interchange. This GE was built as the 970, and was subsequently the 11, 3310, and 2975.
