Santa Fe didn't have HEP cars.  When the business fleet was steam-heated, Santa Fe used steam generator cars built from semi-lightweight baggages.  When the fleet was converted to electric heating, each business car was equipped with its own individual onboard generator, and the last of the steam generator cars were retired.

BNSF has HEP cars for their business train, but they were not inherited from Santa Fe.
