What’s the story there? C30-7’s?
These aren't ex-US GE's. These are C36-7's that were built brand new for the Chinese railroads. The first group had short hoods like US design, the second group had those much lower noses. Also, the cab doors are on the opposite sides from US practice. And the radiator "wings" are curved down for tighter clearances.
