    BN had a lot of EMD F units on the roster. Some were freight locomotives and lacked the "Hockey Stick" on the side of the body. Others were passenger locomotives and had the "hockey Stick"

    If only the green paint had not been so prone to fading and flattening...

    One may even remember BN was last of the "Majors" to run a fleet of F-Units. Until 1982 if I remember. ;)

    I have views of them accumulating in the dead line at Auburn, Washington. It was a sad sight. The last time I can recall seeing one was on a local in mid-summer of 1981. :(

    I believe Western Pacific was running F's on the Altamont into 1983.

    Tacoma, Washington. At the scrappers. No, not Simon & Sons, this is "Big D Salvage", which was on Taylor Way along the Hylebos Waterway:

    Thanks. I am trying to save up money for a new and much, much better scanner. Can't wait to have something of incredibly improved quality!
