Article uses few sources, only historical significance is that it’s soo lines first GP30 CZ3699 (talk) 03:01, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. I have added 2 sources and invite other editors if they can find press sources and add them into the article since the subject is before internet era. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:44, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. For the same reasons as when I de-PRODed it: the locomotive is in the collection of a respected museum; the type of locomotive is over 50 years old, and few unmodified examples are still in service; the article has existed for over 5 years; and has been assessed as C-class. I have also expanded the references. — Iain Bell (talk) 15:01, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Same thing as with the NP SD45, well respected museum is just a opinion, so that isn’t really a good reason to keep this article. There is no source stating the few un modified examples remain. Also just because the article has been on wiki for 5 years doesn’t mean it’s automatically good CZ3699 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:22, 29 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep The article has adequate sourcing for its size and has a decent history behind it. It also had been featured in a museum just as Bell said. I do not see any policy that this article is violated. Also, per WP:OTHER, check out Category:Individual locomotives of the United States. AmericanAir88(talk) 18:52, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
