The prototype for the UP gas turbines was #50. It was set up to burn Bunker C fuel and had a steam generator to heat the fuel for the Turbine. During the testing phase, the 50 did extensive running on the South-Central District and was seen regularly on Cajon Pass in 1950.

During testing the 50 could be seen pulling several passenger cars which were outfitted with data recording equipment.
