Power for the northbound train is putting cuts together prior to departure. We chased all the way to Monett. Great day.

Sitting on the First Coast RR this unit was ex GN>BN and was getting a going-over by the FRA man. I would have liked to see the report.

Looking in bad shape and wearing a Chessie number this unit probably has little time left.

Cargo consisted of almost 100% JP-4 jet fuel.

I had just arrived. Had I heard I'd be there 7 years I might have laid down in front of it, but hey, it worked out. Unit is operated by contractor Cape Fear Railways.

This was an incredibly busy year but occasionally I got up to the pass for a day. These units were becoming more rare and I was happy to catch just a few.

A former MP unit which has had dynamic brakes "donated" by another unit. After SOU added d/b to F units somewhere in the 60s the practice seemed to stop for years but it's became common... (more)

Fairly rare on UP, no dynamic brakes. I really don't know if it's Iowa but took a shot. Just one of those rapid "friendly wave and hearty hi yo Silver" trips on a college break.

Built for NYC,>PC>CR>SO this unit sits with serveral units owned by a railroad that seemed to have no use for so many.
