For almost twenty years the Union Pacific Railroad operated a fleet of gas turbine electric locomotives in their motive power stable to help move the heavy density of freight traffic that the historic railroad enjoys. This book is the story of that unique chapter in railroad history, for the Union Pacific was the only railroad to own such power. A total of fifty-nine turbine locomotives saw service on the Union Pacific and all are pictured here as both the railroad and the railfan saw them.
