BO B&O FA-2

Where can I see a photo of a FA-2 in the last paint scheme ?

 

Here's a link:

Look for numbers 4128-37 from 1971.
FA2s are one of my favorites - especially in the first paint scheme.

 

Which 10 FA-2s and 5 FB-2s were set up with passenger equipment?

 

Well, lets see here. There were four A-B-A sets, and one A-B-B-A set that were set up with steam generators for a total of 10 A units and 6 B units.

The A-B-A sets were numbered 809, 811, 813, and 815. The A-B-B-A set was numbered 817.

These were actually FPA-2s and FPB-2s (P for passenger).

B&O classified these as class DF-7 and DF-7x.

The FA2s are one of my favorites - especially in the original blue, gray, and black paint scheme.

 

Thank you Tim, I am trying to update the Wikipedia page. Richard Steinheimer has the quantity as 10 As and 5 Bs in his Centennial Remembrance Book, that is where I got the quantities from. I am sure you are using a different source.
