Hank,
The number 101 comes from the 1885 renumbering of the UP system including subsidiary lines.
Information about UP 101 can be found on UtahRails,net
Here is the link to the webpage:
Union Pacific System, 1885-1898 Narrow Gauge, Numbers 1 to 299
The section about this locomotive can be found about 2/5 the way down the page.
