The last passenger locomotives purchased by the Santa Fe were the U30CG's from General Electric in 1968. They had only a short term pulling passenger trains since Amtrak was close behind their construction. Conversion to freight service didn't help much as they only lasted a total of 12 years.

Here is a roster of these locomotives courtesy of Gregg Fuhriman.
