When Union Pacific took delivery of their 4500-HP gas turbines in 1952, Southern Pacific, a chief competitor, was watching intently. History tells us that the power-hungry SP went overseas to satisfy its appetite, ordering a series of powerful but temperamental K-M diesel-hydraulics. But what if things had happened differently, and SP had instead turned to GE to try out the same turbines as its competitor? We think they would have looked good in the black widow scheme, after all.
