The GE U28CG was a dual-service
diesel-electric locomotive produced in 1966 by GE Transportation Systems and
derived from their freight-hauling U28C design. The sole customer was the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, which ordered ten early that year for
delivery in July and August.
By that date, no North American
locomotive builder cataloged a dedicated passenger-locomotive design; instead,
all that was available were steam-generator equipped versions of freight road
switcher locomotive designs. The railroad's F units, the backbone of its
passenger fleet, were old and increasingly troublesome, and the Santa Fe needed
to get some replacements in short order. GE's waiting list was shorter, and GE
offered better trade-in deals for old Alcos the road wanted to get rid
of.
The ten units were delivered in Santa Fe's trademark
Warbonnet silver and red paint scheme, but not identical in all details to
previous applications. The yellow and black separation lines between the red
and silver were absent, and the bodyside 'Santa Fe' lettering was large,
billboard-style, in a Cooper Black typeface, instead of the smaller black serif
all-caps version previously used. (That style would later be resurrected in
1989). Instead of silver trucks, frame and tanks, they were black from the
factory and were repainted silver later. The locomotives were numbered
in the 3-digit passenger series, with road numbers 350359. |
