Needing more high-tractive effort, six-axle locomotives for their former-PRR lines through PA, Conrail in 1984 went shopping. GE offered Conrail a 12-cylinder version of their current production C36-7, naming 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 went back later that year for an additional 10 units, GE offered them the improved C32-8 instead. Thus Conrail became the only railroad in the world to own the C30-7A.The roster below covers those units operated by Conrail from the arrivial of the first unit until May 1999. For rosters of Conrail locomotives transferred to CSX and Norfolk Southern in June 1999, check with the Conrail Technical Society.
