​In addition to Dave's comments, you can add a single line to do this:

trajin md2.mdcrd
autoimage
strip :WAT,Na+ outprefix stripped
outtraj snapshot.pdb onlyframes 30000
trajout md2_dry.mdcrd

Notice the "outtraj" command. This will dump a PDB file from just the
30,000th frame of your trajectory. This would be correct if you wrote a
snapshot every 1 ps and you read all 50 ns of simulation into the same
cpptraj session. Adjust it accordingly to what you are trying to do.
