Show New Locomotive Placed In Service On Union Pacific Announcement was made today by W. M. Jeffers, president of the Union Pacific Railroad, of the placing plac-ing in service on the Chicago-Los Angeles Streamliner April 1 of the Union Pacific's new 4000 horsepower horsepow-er Diesel electric locomotive which was recently purchased. The locomotive loco-motive arrived in Omaha March 30 and was subjected to final tests, before be-fore its initiation into service. Except for improvement in details and that each of the four engines in the locomotive will have 1000 horsepower horse-power instead of 900, it has the same general appearance and construction as embodied in the 5400 horsepower locomotives now handling the new City of Los Angeles and City of San Francisco streamline trains. |
