UP 18 |
Description: |
Union Pacific 8500 GTEL Turbine X-18 pokes its bulldog nose out from behind a Milwaukee Road caboose at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL. From this angle, the turbine nose conjures up an image of sleek UP streamliners streaking across the desert, yet this unit was the pinnacle of freight power. UP X-18 was built in 1960, was retired in 1970, and was sold to the Illinois Railway Museum in 1992. |

UP 18, the gigantic gas turbine-electric set, on display |
Description: |
These monstrous 8,500 HP two-unit sets, with twelve powered axles (plus fuel tender) fit right in with UP's penchant for Brobdingnagian motive power exemplified by the Big Boy, EMD DDA40X, and others. It is one of two preserved (the other is No. 26 in Utah) out of a class of 30 built. They had relatively short careers from 1955-December 1969, issues with fuel economy (the Bunker C oil they burned initially being significantly cheaper than diesel lost that advantage) and wear and tear on the turbine blades; as well as improvements in diesel-electric power rendered them obsolete. |
