F-Unit Friday - Oelwein, Iowa
Author: refarkas

C&NW 234 is among the F-units visible in the engine facility at Oelwein, Iowa on April 3, 1972. CGW switchers are also present.

In the early 1970's, similar scenes seemed to be fairly common when I was at Oelwein.

Great catch! Six F Units are visible. Would guess there may have been a couple others there.

Thanks for sharing. Were all of these former C&GW units or did the Northwestern also send other F units to that region?

To the best of my knowledge, these F's had a mix of owners.
