Some CB&Q F3s -- 3 Photos
Initially the CB&Q bought FTs and F3s as ABBA sets. The Q being a flat-lander railroad soon learned the three units were sufficient and split the ABBAs in half adding a new F2A to the FTs and an F7A to the F3s to each half of the ABBA making ABA sets.
CB&Q 116D leading at Fairview Ave., Downers Grove, Illinois on July 4, 1965. This is an F3AB pair with most probably an F7A added to make an ABA set. The F3s were originally 116ABCD built in October 1947.
