TS Pro: Chessie System U30C

## Description

### Steam Store Description

General Electric established itself as an independent builder of mainline
diesel locomotives in 1959 with its 2,500-horsepower U25B, and throughout the
1960s and into the 1970s, GE produced an ever-expanding – and more powerful –
line of “Universal”-series diesels, which came to be widely nicknamed as
“U-boats.”

From the debut of the U25B until GE introduced its “Dash 7” series in the late
1970s, approximately 3,500 U-Boats of various designations were constructed,
and the best seller of GE’s U-boat line was the 3,000-horsepower, six-axle
(C-C) U30C. First delivered in 1967 and produced through 1976, 600 U30Cs were
constructed by GE for 22 original buyers.

Almost universally, the husky U30C was put to work hauling heavy tonnage and,
often as not, coal. In 1967-68, the Chesapeake & Ohio purchased 13 U30Cs which
saw use throughout the railroad’s system. With the introduction of the
“Chessie System” livery in 1972, the C&O U30Cs took on that distinctive and
colorful livery until the locomotives were retired in the mid-1980s.

Virtual Rail Creations (VRC) now brings the Chessie U30C to Train Simulator in
a highly authentic model with advanced controls and a variety of interactive
cab and operating features. The U30C offers standard and advanced cold start-
up features and is provided in clean and weathered Chessie System livery
editions. The locomotive is representative of the U30C “Phase I” carbody style
which was virtually identical to its immediate predecessor, the U28C.

The Chessie U30C pack also includes a 100-ton coal hopper in Chessie System
and generic liveries and four career scenario for the Norfolk Southern Coal
District route (available separately and required to play the scenarios). The
U30C is Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to use the locomotive
on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator.
