Westinghouse and partner Baldwin fielded an experimental 4,000 h.p. B-B+B-B gas-turbine-electric in 1950. Dubbed the “Blue Goose” because of its paint scheme (and perhaps for its unusual appearance), No. 4000, pictured at Chicago on the Chicago & North Western, generated no orders.

Gee, no replys ...

This looks very much like Train X or Dan'l Webster at NH, also by Baldwin & Westinghouse a few years later.

The RP-210 sure could have done with a bit more horsepower.
