Model Railroading > Santa Fe F unit numbersDate: 11/16/12 12:12 Santa Fe F unit numbers Author: shadetree I have an A-B-A set of Santa Fe passenger F's I am putting together for a future step-son for Christmas. My question is How were they numbered and where were the numbers located on the B units? Thanks.

B units have the number on the rear next along the red stripe to the left of grabs.

Also, don't forget that there is a very small "L" or "C" on the nose, in the center of the vertical yellow stripe, just above the anticlimber. DGW |
