The EMD DE30AC is the diesel-only version of a class of 46 locomotives built between 1997 and 1999 by Electro-Motive Division at the Super Steel Plant in Schenectady, New York, for the Long Island Rail Road of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The fleet was originally divided equally between the DE30AC and the dual-mode DM30AC, and the DE30AC locomotives replaced aging GP38-2 locomotives. The bodies of the two types are extremely similar. Single engines run with six cars or fewer, and two engines are used for longer trains. Because of their height, they cannot fit through the 63rd Street Tunnel.
