GTEL (gas turbine-electric locomotives) GE turbine type ?

Hello
did somebody now which turbine type GE used for UP's GTEL ?

Did they use aircraft turbines? ( for example General Electric J35 or J47 ? )
Or did they used some kind of a stationary power generation turbine ?

Bye :-D

no they used stationairy type gasturbines and almost all GTEL's used different gasturbines.
