Burlington Northern, looking for units to handle growing Powder River Basin coal traffic, bought numerous C30-7s. The railroad bought 243 units add to its roster, the most of any U.S. carrier. These locomotives joined 134 U30Cs in coal revenue service.
Burlington Northern was the first road to purchase the General Electric C30-7 with 5500-5509 being built in late 1976 (5500 in September and the rest in December). Between April and July of 1977, a second order for units 5510-5527 would be delivered.
In 1991, BN repowered six C30-7s with 3,300-horsepower engines, dubbing them "C33-7s". BN received units 5500-5599 from September 1976 to June 1979. With the 5500 series filled, the later-built C30-7's were numbered in the lower 5000-5141 series.
Spotting features of the late production C30-7 include a white strip on the anti-climber, along with the model designation stenciled on the frame sill.
Numerous BN C30-7s were carried through the 1995 ATSF-BN merger, and continue to work today.
