[UP SD40-2]

I totally agree Bruce. Those box cars from Wayne are just the icing on the cake. 
I wonder what bunker C oil goes for on todays market. Is that what the 4014 uses?

I am sorry Charlie, I cant answer either of those questions  . I do know the Veranda turbines were successful, thus, they made and ordered another series of Gas Turbines, commonly called the "Big Blow's" . (one of the MANY pics I have taken of the Gas Turbine at the IRM)


What killed UP's Gas Turbines in the end was a couple things, they were very loud, so they were limited on how far into towns they could travel into, and of coarse, the cost of Bunker C fuel went through the roof in the early 70's so that pretty much put an end to UP's Gas Turbines  .
