There is a numbering discrepancy in this photo. The text refers to X6440 (which is the unit number of the leading F-unit) but the number boards on either side of the nose of 6440 clearly show X6320 which is, in fact, the number of the trailing F-unit as seen in a subsequent photo.

Nice looking pair, thanks for the share Bob.  I really like that going away shot.  The Alco is a bonus!

I just noticed the difference in the number boards so technically speaking its X6230 east which is the number of the trailing unit.
