F-Unit Friday - CR 1825
Author: refarkas

On September 2, 2022, I posted a George Cheatwood photo taken here on December 23, 1978. It is now February 10, 1979 at this same Cleveland, Ohio location. This time the lashup is CR 1825, 1855, 1833, 1791. All are F7A's.

I remember seeing the F's, but never got any photos.
Looking back now it seems hard to believe they were around for so long after 4-1-1976.

And I also recall being out photographing Conrail that same day in Upstate New York, and it was 5 below zero !

That's a wonderful F-unit pic.  It's great to see a  matched set  of CR F's.

Great beater F unit shots. I saw some in the middle of the night in December 1976 from the Lake Shore Limited, I think in Toledo. Thanks for all of your posts in general and your F shots in particular.
Thanks again,

Randy in PHX

That CR Spartan scheme allowed you to enjoy the lines and details of the locomotive without a paint scheme getting in the way.

So typical of Cleveland in the 70's.  You might note that to the right of this photo, stand the remains of the catanary supports of the old Cleveland Union Terminal.. Great pic.
