Diesel Roster

Last revised: 6-17-96
Originally compiled: 1994
Maintained by Gregg Fuhriman

This is a list of every diesel locomotive (and a few gas-powered) ever owned or operated by the Santa Fe Railway. Only the original as-delivered road numbers are shown; subsequent renumberings are not included for brevity. The list is grouped by builder, and sub-grouped into general locomotive type such as switcher, cab unit, 4-axle, 6-axle, etc.
