[PAR] [TLE] Union Pacific GTELs [SEP] Union Pacific operated the largest fleet of gas turbine-electric locomotives (GTELs) of any railroad in the world.  The prototype, UP 50, was the first in a series built by General Electric for Union Pacific's long-haul cargo services and marketed by the Alco-GE partnership until 1953.  The prototype was introduced in 1948 and was followed by three series of production locomotives.  At one point, Union Pacific said, GTELs hauled more than 10% of the railroad's freight. [PAR] [TLE] Alco-GE [SEP] Alco-GE was a partnership between the American Locomotive Company and General Electric that lasted from 1940 to 1953.  Their main competitor was EMD.  Under this arrangement, Alco produced the locomotive body and prime mover, and GE supplied the electrical gear.  Alco management could see that the market for steam locomotives would soon vanish, and General Electric was interested in getting into the lucrative diesel locomotive market.
