So who we got left that has run an F-unit
(Preview)
The F-unit (FT-F3-F7-F9 and the FP's) dominated my youth (1960's) and for me it lasted another 20+ years with the BN Sumas Branch running the last F-units in summer of 1981.

By the time I can recollect the trains in my youth, it was all diesel. Maybe laying in my crib during my baby daze I heard the G...
