The original diesels used in Passenger service had Boilers for steam generation. Diesel HEP, came about in the late 1950's and took complete hold during he early Amtrak era.
Steam generators which also burned diesel fuel to heat the boilers.

The way it originally came across it sounded like the Heating was provided by a diesel. Just because something burns diesel fuel, does not necessarily make it a diesel. That is a whole different animal. regardless, I think we can all agree the fuel used for heating is diesel, but the device itself is a boiler. either way, the G's were quite the propulsion device used by the Pennsy and Amtrak, NJT and Conrail. A Landmark Locomotive (i.e. Motor)!
