UP used 0-6-0s in various classes. See the Kratville books for steam, and Don Strack’s “Union Pacific Switchers and Slugs”, $24.95 from Withers Publishing, for the complete story, rosters, and photos of diesels.

When in the 1950s? That was a decade of possibly the most change in diesel models ever. They had Baldwins and EMDs for sure. I would have to guess but just about any EMD through an SW-7 was probably on the railroad somewhere. Same thing with any Baldwin switcher.
