US Train Q-Gas turbine locomotives used by UP? - 10/12/2002 02:39
Got a US railroad question someone will know.
I'm trying to recall the name (& model designation) of the Gas Turbine powered locomotives the Union Pacific RailRoad used in the 50s and 60's - they were mostly used in the lines over the Rockies as I recall.
Anyone know? (and any useful links to sites about it would be good to).
I read a interesting book about them a few years back and can't recall the info now.
Also, anyone know if anyone has built or is building a MTS simulation of one of these? (now driving one of those would be so cool over the Marias Pass).
BTW: This UP Locomotive is not the "Big Boy" - as those were a Steam powered locomotive.
