    I am sure glad that Mr. Jordan was around to take these pictures back in the day! He was a busy guy!

    All of these F units posted. I cannot help but to fondly recall seeing so many of them. And listening to the song of a 567B at work. Nice.

    Clearly either 23 or 24, the former Grand Canyon.

    It required 3000 horsepower because they used F-3 and F-7 types in transcontinental service, and it took both a cab and a booster to haul a passenger train.

    3000 horsepower was enough to haul a five car train, and a dead booster that needs the attention of the Topeka shops too.

    I would've cleaned them off, only if I'd seen them before scanning them! Oh well, eventually...
