How many C30-7A's are still in the U.S.A?
Keep asking, Keep learning

To answer Terry C's question, I believe Conrail was the only railroad to buy them.

From the Conrail Cyclopedia site:

Conrail then turned to General Electric that same year for an order of C30-7's. But GE had recently stopped production on that unit. Not wanting to loose a contract, GE offered Conrail a 12-cylinder version of their current production C36-7. GE named this special variation the C30-7A, the 'A' denoting a 12-cylinder engine. Conrail took delivery of 50 C30-7A's (CR 6550-6599) between May and June 1984.

When Conrail was split up, all 50 C30-7A's went to Norfolk Southern and CSX. I'm unsure about their current status though.

The news doesn't look good for some...

Honestly TerryC, some of your aimless questions are very annoying. Half the time they can be answered with a simple Google search. I suggest you try it.
