## About This Content
Throughout the twentieth century, the Union Pacific had an insatiable hunger
for super power, an appetite that gave form to the “Big Boy” in the steam era,
5,000-horsepower double diesels in the 1960s, and powerful General Electric
gas-turbine-electric locomotives (GTELs) in between. And now, through the
talents of developer DTM, Union Pacific’s first-generation of turbines – in
three authentic versions – is ready to take the rails in Train Simulator!

The Union Pacific GTEL pack includes the unique double-cab 4,500-horsepower
turbine General Electric prototype demonstrator of 1948; Union Pacific’s
initial order of “standard” 4,500-horsepower GE turbines of 1952-53; and the
railroad’s distinctive “veranda” GE turbines of 1954, all with realistic and
interactive operating controls!

Built to haul heavy tonnage at speed over long distances, the 4,500-horsepower
turbines primarily worked Union Pacific’s main line between Council Bluffs,
Iowa, and Ogden, Utah, including regular appearances on UP’s famed and
challenging Sherman Hill.

Although equipped with their own fuel tanks, the turbines’ robust appetite for
fuel resulted in Union Pacific adding fuel tenders, most of which were rebuilt
from Class 18-C tenders from retired 9000-series UP 4-12-2 steam locomotives.

The prototype 4,500-horsepower turbine demonstrator was unique in having
operating cabs at each end and was owned by GE. It served on the Union
Pacific, wearing road number 50 and UP livery, from 1949 through 1951. Union
Pacific’s order of ten turbines of 1952-53 (road numbers 51-60) was similar to
the prototype in have a standard streamlined carbody, but with a single
operation cab. Union Pacific’s final order of fifteen 4,500-horsepower
turbines of 1954 (road numbers 61-75) were distinctive in having a “veranda”
style carbody which allowed improved access to the engine compartment. All of
Union Pacific’s 4,500-horsepowetr GTELs rode on a B+B-B+B truck configuration.
UP’s 4,500-horsepower turbines operated until 1964, by which time they were
replaced by the railroad’s 8,500-horsepower “Big Blow” turbines.

The Train Simulator Union Pacific GTEL pack includes all three
4,500-horsepower turbine variants, plus fuel tender and a selection of period-
appropriate freight rolling stock including 46-foot gondola, 40-boxcar in
multiple liveries, 4,000-gallon tank car, R-30-6 refrigerator car, and Union
Pacific CA-5 caboose. The carbody details of the standard turbine can be
customized and the turbines are provided in weathered and snow-dressed
versions. And the pack includes four scenarios for the Train Simulator Sherman
Hill route (route available separately).

Take the throttle of Union Pacific’s unique and memorable 4,500-horsepower
gas-turbine-electric locomotives for a truly extraordinary high-horsepower
Train Simulator experience!
