This link will take you to a comprehensive history of UP EMD diesel switchers during this era:

And for Alco, Baldwin, and F-M, see:

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.
