The '''EMD SD30C-ECO''' is a {{convert|3000|hp|adj=on}} [[AAR wheel arrangement#C-C|C-C]] [[diesel-electric locomotive]] built by [[Electro-Motive Diesel|EMD]]. Although similar to the [[EMD SD32ECO]], the SD30C-ECO follows the [[Canadian Pacific Railway]]'s request for [[crashworthiness]] and [[United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] [[United States emission standards|emission standards]] with the "C" in the designation denoting crashworthiness of the cab, frame, and fuel tank. CP Rail requested relaxed emission standards (Tier 0+ instead of Tier 2) to cut costs.
Cores for the locomotives come from CP's fleet of [[EMD SD40-2]]s. The frames, trucks, and internal components are reused while a new (standard) cab, designed and constructed by EMD, and a fuel tank is built new for each unit. With the increased emissions requirements, the locomotives feature flared radiators similar to those on the [[EMD SD45]] to house additional cooling equipment. The locomotives have a snoot nose to house additional electronics, and all lighting with the exception of the headlights and ditch lights are LED.

A total of 50 SD30C-ECOs have been built for [[Canadian Pacific]] in 2 orders. The first order was for 20 [[locomotive]]s numbered 5000-5019 and the second order was for an additional 30 locomotives numbered 5020-5049.<ref>{{cite news |author=Guss |first=Chris |date=3 June 2013 |title=First CP SD30C-ECOs shipped |url=http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2013/06/first-cp-sd30c-ecos-shipped |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240113215021/https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/first-cp-sd30c-ecos-shipped/ |archive-date=13 January 2024 |accessdate=16 February 2015 |work=[[Trains (magazine)|Trains]]}} {{subscription required}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=10 February 2015 |title=Canadian Pacific orders additional SD30C-ECOs |url=http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2015/02/canadian-pacific-orders-additions-sd30c-ecos |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160804123241/http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2015/02/canadian-pacific-orders-additions-sd30c-ecos |archive-date=4 August 2016 |accessdate=16 February 2015 |work=[[Trains (magazine)|Trains]]}} {{subscription required}}</ref>
A similar rebuild, classed as SD40E3 was carried out by CSX in early 2017. 13 units were produced, numbered 1700-1712. <ref>{{cite web |last=Gunnoe |first=Chase |date=1 February 2017 |title=CSX takes delivery of first SD40E3 ‘Eco’ units NEWSWIRE |url=https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/01-csx-takes-delivery-of-sd40e3-eco-units/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240110054334/https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/01-csx-takes-delivery-of-sd40e3-eco-units/ |archive-date=10 January 2024 |website=[[Trains magazine|Trains]]}} {{subscription required}}</ref>
