Nostalgia & History > F's and other things. Your choice of colors. Part 2Date: 12/12/10 09:29 F's and other things. Your choice of colors. Part 2 Author: SP6190 July 25, 1978. Seattle to Vancouver.
#1 First things first. Check out BN's Interbay yard in Seattle, where at the north end (?) we found the 465 doing a little switching. #2 Just another set of power. The 2222 leads. #3 At the engine facilities we found Amtrak 674, a steam generator car converted from a E-unit.    Date: 12/12/10 09:30 Re: F's and other things. Your choice of colors. Part 2 Author: SP6190 #4-5 They actually do was units once in awhile. Here is a set with the 2225 at one end and the 824 on the other going from wash to drip dry.
#6 Back down to Auburn. Here is a set of inbound power waiting to be broken up.    Date: 12/12/10 09:31 Re: F's and other things. Your choice of colors. Part 2 Author: SP6190 #7-8 The 706. One F-unit I never seemed to be able to catch out on the road.
#9 Another set of F's. Notice anything funny with the 758?    Date: 12/12/10 09:32 Re: F's and other things. Your choice of colors. Part 2 Author: SP6190 #10 Back at Tacoma, the 2528 has cut off it's train and is about to make a pick-up.
#11 Milwaukee 289 heads north at Vedar WA.   Date: 12/12/10 09:33 Re: F's and other things. Your choice of colors. Part 2 Author: SP6190 #12 & 13 Finally back at Vancouver, we catch the 676 and three other F's making a set-out.

Date: 12/12/10 11:15 Re: F's and other things. Your choice of colors. Part 2 Author: Milwaukee Notice on the side shot of the 706 they have stenciled it as a F7. Wasn't that one of, if not the last, F3 operating on the BN?
Thanks for posting those photos. That was a great time to be in the PNW. Date: 12/12/10 11:29 Re: F's and other things. Your choice of colors. Part 2 Author: SP6190 Milwaukee Wrote:

There were several others also including the 702, 710, 712, and one B-unit, the 703. Date: 12/12/10 17:22 Re: F's and other things. Your choice of colors. Part 2 Author: jackpot SP6190 Wrote:

Seemingly every F unit out there was unique in some way. Date: 12/12/10 17:27 Re: F's and other things. Your choice of colors. Part 2 Author: 41 Looks like 676 still had a reflector headlight, pretty late (?) for that date
