I don’t think the second locomotive is a U30B, it’s a U25C because it’s clearly a 6-axle type, also the U30B doesn’t have that raised part near the end of the frame. The last 3 digits are 504, and the only L&N GE locomotives to have those are U28B #2504 and U25C #1504.
You are correct, Sir—that is most definitely a U25C! Thanks for pointing this out, and I’ll fix the caption shortly.
