This link to "steam locomotive" may help you. UP appears to be a "heavy" road with Alco, Baldwin & Lima products.
You will need a UP steam book to provide more info.

For anyone else, the USRA produced most loco classes in a Light or Heavy versions. One difference is the size & mass of the engine. The OP may be trying to find if the Nscale Kato model represents anything that ran on UP. It is possible that the UP ran short passenger trains on branchlines in the praries.
