Product Information:


In the mid-1960s most class one railroads were busy discontinuing their passenger operations as fast as possible. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway however went against the grain and purchased new diesel locomotives from both EMD and GE during this period. GE was first to respond with 10 U28CG diesels in 1966 and painted in the famous warbonnet paint scheme. The ATSF was satisfied with the performance of the U28CG, but their freight locomotive looks left a lot to be desired. The follow up order from GE introduced a whole new style more inline with the full-cowl FP45 EMD was delivering at the same time.
