TrainFreak409,
On a hunch, I did a keyword search at the Index of Magazines using "Blue Goose" as the search term. Here's the one citation that resulted:
"The thrifty glutton," Trains, January 1953, page 25. Westinghouse's gas-turbine-electric ( BLUE, GOOSE, "MORGAN, DAVID P.", TURBINE, WESTINGHOUSE, TRN )
As usual, you'll have to look for a copy of the back issue at your LHS, or pay for a photocopy at customerservice@kalmbach.com or at the NMRA's Kalmbach Memorial Library, http://www.nmra.org/library/.

Ray George's book Missouri-Kansas-Texas in Color has a couple of color photos of the Blue Goose on the Katy, where it was doing demonstrations with the Katy Flyer.

Hopes this helps[8D]

This book has a few pages about that one.

Model Railroader Cyclopedia, Volume 2: Diesel Locomotives

the demonstrator was shown around but none were ordered so it was scrapped!
