Number 3010 was built in May 1962 (c/n 27144), wrecked and destroyed at Cliff, Colorado on September 30, 1991.

D&RGW GP30 3022
Title:  D&RGW GP30 3022
Description:  D&RGW GP30 3022 westbound at Loomis Street in Naperville, Illinois on April 11, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This photo was used in Joseph A. Strapac's book, "Rio Grande Diesels - Vol. 2", and he captioned it as follows; It's April 11, 1966 in Naperville, Illinois, and the Burlington - Rio Grande diesel pool is in full swing. As evidence, here is an all-GP-30 locomotive consist led by Grande 3022 and 3005, followed by three Union Pacific GP-30's and a GP-30B. Units were pooled between Salt Lake City and Chicago, but the Grande accumulated more off-line mileage than was returned by the Q units.

D&RGW GP30 3025
Title:  D&RGW GP30 3025
Description:  D&RGW GP30 3025 westbound at Loomis Street in Naperville, Illinois on August 5, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I heard a horn unlike those on the CB&Q, so I ran into the house to get my camera, by the time I got back, the train was passing through and this is the best I could get. Number 3025 was built in February 1963 (c/n 28054) on EMD Order 7640 and was destroyed at Byers Canyon, August 7, 1982. This was part of a pooled power arrangement the CB&Q and D&RGW had in the 1960's.
