ATSF 7901
Title:  ATSF 7901
Description:  OKLAHOMA CITY OK Sept 3 1978 -- Santa Fe U28CG 7901 poses for a roster as it makes a reverse move with its train. GE built the unit (b/n 35994) in July 1966 as ATSF 351 and delivered it in red and silver warbonnnet for passenger service. It was renumbered 7901 in 1969-70 and repainted yellow warbonnet after mid-june 1972. (Roster information from http://atsfrr.net/resources/CrossetGene/master_diesel_roster/U28CG/reference.htm)

Title:  ATSF 7901
Description:  LAMAR CO June 17 1979 -- The well-maintained Lamar station hosts Santa Fe U28CG 7901 and Santa Fe U23C 7500. The U28CGs were delivered in passenger war bonnet and set up for use in both passenger and freight service. After Amtrak took over passenger operations on the Santa Fe the U28CGs lost their steam generators, were painted in freight colors and assigned to freight-only duties. They later were painted in the yellow bonnet scheme as seen here.

AT&SF U28CG 7907
Title:  AT&SF U28CG 7907
Description:  AT&SF U28CG 7907 at Corwith Yard, Chicago, Illinois, October, 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. At the time, the Santa Fe wanted to replace the aging EMD F-units in passenger service, and since no builder cataloged a dedicated passenger locomotive, this design was selected because GE had a shorter waiting list and offered a better trade-in deal. Built in August 1966 as AT&SF U28CG 357 (c/n 36000), this was one of only ten U28CG's built, all for the Santa Fe, originally road numbers 350-359, later renumbered 7900-7909. From the beginning accommodations for a steam generator had been designed into the Universal series of GE locomotives by providing an empty space behind the cab. A skid-mounted Vapor-Clarkson steam generator was located in this space on the U28CG's. The fuel tanks were divided to carry water and fuel, and a notch in the frame can be seen for the now-removed water filler pipe. With a split water and fuel underbody tank, the U28CG's had a short range, and were used on secondary trains until the tanks were modified to carry fuel only. There are a couple of protrusions on the roof behind the cab where the steam generator was installed. After the derailment of a U30CG on February 9, 1969, both GE designs were suspect. After a series of tests, the Santa Fe withdrew both models from passenger service and reassigned them to freight duties. It appears there may have been some confusion re-installing the doors below the cab.
