GE U30CG

The GE U30CG was a passenger-hauling diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. It was a passenger variant of the U30C, mechanically identical except for a full-width long hood with fluted stainless-steel panels and a rounded nose with a slanted cab front. Six were delivered in November 1967, numbered 400 to 405, painted in the Warbonnet colors and used first on the Grand Canyon Limited. After a derailment of that train in February 1969 the design was suspected, and the units moved to freight work and never returned to passenger service. They were traded in to GE in 1980 and none were preserved.
