Description:
---------------------------------------------
The U30C was a First generation 6 axle GE diesel electric with early wheelslip control.
It was made to move heavy trains at moderate speed and to compete with EMD's
very successful SD40 model.
Mopac bought these primarily to help Haul Coal trains from IOWA. They were the only 6 axle GE's in the fleet and often were poorly maintained. Very few recieved the Canary Yellow of Mopac's last years and most were retired and didn't see spots on UP's roster after the merger.

This model was made using TrainSim Modeler from Abacus.
The .ace files in the repaint have been compressed using utilities available at http://fly.to/mwgfx

To install:
---------------------------------------------
Unzip file to a temp location and copy the 2 locomotive folders to your trainset directory. Make a consist and GO.
