A total of 948 units were built for railroads in the United States and Canada.  The GP30's were designed to compete with GE's U25B.  The U25B offered 2500 horsepower, while the existing EMD GP20 was only rated at 2,000 hp.  The EMD's engineering department ended up using a 16 cylinder 567D3 engine that produced 2250 hp for the GP30.  They also made several improvements on the GP20 design meant to match the U25B - a sealed airtight long hood, a single central air intake, and easier access for maintenance.  These changes required more space behind the cab, and this was achieved vertically by raising the height of the locomotive, providing space for the central air system, the turbocharger, and electrical cabinet.  This increased height meant a new body was required.  EMD wanted the new body to be modern and updated, so the GM Automotive Styling Center created the GP30's unique \"hump\" and cab roof profile. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e List of individually controllable lights in our EMD GP30 models (note that light options may be limited in Stealth Series models):\u003cbr\u003e Headlight\u003cbr\u003e Rear Light\u003cbr\u003e Numberboard Lights (Front \u0026amp; Rear)\u003cbr\u003e Front Classification Lights\u003cbr\u003e Rear Classification Lights\u003cbr\u003e Cab Light\u003cbr\u003e Mars Light (where appropriate)\u003cbr\u003e Rotary Beacon (where appropriate)\u003cbr\u003e Ditch Lights (where appropriate) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Road-specific detail options that are prototypically accurate for each road name:\u003cbr\u003e Truck sideframes\u003cbr\u003e Dynamic brake hatch\u003cbr\u003e Roof fan arrangement and type\u003cbr\u003e Short hood detail arrangement\u003cbr\u003e Long hood end detail arrangement\u003cbr\u003e High short hood option where accurate\u003cbr\u003e Horn type and location\u003cbr\u003e Bell location\u003cbr\u003e Front pilot details\u003cbr\u003e Rear pilot details\u003cbr\u003e Cut level details\u003cbr\u003e MU receptacle arrangement\u003cbr\u003e Sunshade options\u003cbr\u003e Antenna type and location\u003cbr\u003e Wind deflector type \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Industry-leading Model Features:\u003cbr\u003e Out of the box, front and rear lights are directional.
