Union Pacific bought just six Baldwin VO-1000s, built between October 1943 and February 1944, because War Production Board limits had capped EMD's 567 output. Delivered as D.S.1055-1060, they were renumbered 1200-1205 in May 1945 - the reason #1201 exists - and all six were retired in October 1962. Atlas notes these locomotives cannot be converted to Rapido couplers. Atlas publishes no shipping weight; the listed weight is an estimate, and country of manufacture is inferred as China.
