Larry Date: 11/09/19 08:04 Re: F-Unit Friday Author: ntharalson Good catch on the CB&Q 168A. This was the only Q F unit that made the BN merger, and would be retired in aither July or August of 1970. Thanks for posting!
Nick Tharalson, Marion, IA Date: 11/09/19 18:43 Re: F-Unit Friday Author: hawkinsun Yep, I diid notice the N&W C628 still in blue. I got to see them in Blue, Dark Green, and Green&Yellow paint schemes, and got in trouble for always looking out the window of my school when I was supposed to be watching my studies and teacher. Those were interesting times on the C&NW when they merged with the CGW and the M&StL. Lots of bright colors. My school looked across a large field to the tracks where the C&NW went over the Milwaukee Roads C&M main on a big diagonal truss bridge. Before those Alcos I watched the end of Milwaukee steam there too, and then the steam funeral trains. What memories. That was at Northbrook/Techny, Illinois. The Milwaukee, the C&NW, and the ALCOs are long gone but the bridge is still there surounded by suburbia and factories.
