Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Union Pacific No. 26 is an 8,500 horsepower gas turbine-electric locomotive (GTEL) built by General Electric (GE) in February 1961 for the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). It was part of the third-generation of three generations of GTELs built for the UP between 1952 and 1961 that were initially meant to replace their 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" and 4-6-6-4 "Challenger" type steam locomotives. It was used in regular freight service by the UP until it was officially retired from service in February 1970 along with the other GTELs in favor of conventional diesel locomotives. After its retirement, it was placed in storage until eventually being donated in the 1990s to the Utah State Railroad Museum in Ogden, UT. As of today, it is on outdoor static display at Union Station in Ogden, UT, part of the Utah State Railroad Museum. It is also one of only two surviving UP third-generation GTELs that have been preserved, the other one being No. 18, which is on static display at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL. |
