Tony Fernandez General It's actually one of thirty 8500 hp gas turbine-electic locomotives built for the UP by GE between 1958 and 1961. They were eventually re-rated to 10,000hp before being retired after about 10 years service. Interestingly, their trucks were later used under UP's GE U50C diesel-electric 5000hp locomotives which were in service for only about 7 - 9 years. 12/17/2008 12:55:05 PM
