A bit more from the article at DTL:
"In November 1948, General Electric rolled out GTEL demonstrator No. 101, a 4,500-horsepower locomotive with a streamlined carbody, cabs at each end, and riding a B+B-B+B truck configuration. Clad in a green-and-yellow livery, the 530,000-pound behemoth operated on the Pennsylvania Railroad and Nickel Plate until June 1949, then made its way to the Union Pacific. On the UP, the prototype was outfitted in Union Pacific livery (although still owned by GE) and given UP road number 50. On the Union Pacific, the prototype turbine rolled up 101,000 miles of testing until it left the railroad in April 1951. Thereafter, it briefly tested on the Southern Pacific, then returned to GE where it was scrapped in 1953."
