Union Pacific operated the largest fleet of gas turbine-electric locomotives (GTELs) of any railroad in the world. The prototype UP 50 was the first in a series built by General Electric marketed by the Alco-GE partnership until 1953 for Union Pacific’s long-haul cargo services. The prototype was introduced in 1948 and was followed by three series of production locomotives.
