Dirty Turbine

Photographer unknown

 

Coated in dirt, grime and a bit of Bunker C, Union Pacific GTEL 30 moves light in one of the road's Utah yards. The 1961 built 8500 HP Gas Turbine was nearing the end of its short career in this early 1969 view. It would be retired in early 1970 and sold for scrap the following year.
