Tony Fernandez General Nice shot. This unit was one of the eight GP30B units (#727B - 734B) equipped with a steam boiler for passenger train use. In addition to the air intake and the exhaust stack for the boiler mounted on the roof of the short hood, boiler-equipped GP30B units had only one short vertical stanchion on the side handrails at the rear of the unit. 8/6/2008 1:10:19 PM
