For the first time since 2013, the NS OCS train made it into Florida. In this picture, the train is seen rounding the curve just south of the Crawford, Fl diamond, ducking under the southernmost ex-Southern RWY signal on the GS&F.

No doubt the old elevator at Farwell, Minn., has witnessed the passing of Soo Line Fs and even Alco FAs. On Oct. 3 its biding "farwell" to the A-B-A set of Fs pulling the Royal Canadian Pacific back to Calgary.

Burlington Northern Railroad F9 BN-1 at Springfield, Missouri on May 13, 1994, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1954 as Northern Pacific F9 6700A ( c/n 19056 ) on EMD Order 3175A, it became BN 9800, and later demoted to freight service as 766, later still MOW service 972567. Around October 1990, it was outshopped at West Burlington, Iowa as BN-1, having exchanged it original 567 prime mover for a 645. The B-unit was former NP F9B 7002C, which also received a 645 prime mover, turning both units into GP38 equivalents.
Electro-Motive Division F9 462 at the CB&Q locomotive facility in Clyde, Illinois on April 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 462 was built in December 1949 as C&NW F7 6501A ( c/n 8580 ) on EMD Order E1188, was retired by the C&NW on January 7, 1959 and traded back to EMD. It was rebuilt during May 1960 into a F9A ( new c/n, 26158, note there appears to be two builders plates ) on EMD Order E1188-A33R and used as a test unit for newly developed components. It is seen here equipped with a toe step between two CB&Q GP20's testing something.
A note from Ken Lanovich: EMD 462 was scrapped at Midwest Metalics ( Pielet Bros ) in 1998. They held it for some time, offers were made to buy it, but no group ever came up with the cash. The last offer was to buy the cab for a restaurant in downtown Chicago but that fell through. I remember pieces of it went to Larry's Truck Electric.( LTEX ) when the property was being cleaned up. Anybody need an F unit pilot? The 462's pilot and a brand new one from EMD went to LTEX when Midwest shut down.

Milwaukee Road F9 93C at Elgin, Illinois on March 7, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 93C was built in January 1954 (c/n 18754) as number 83C (second), renumbered to 126A (first), then 93C (second). Originally built as a freight locomotive, it was regeared in the late 1950's - early 1960's for passenger service and a Cummins diesel/generator set was installed to provide power for the Budd gallery cars in commuter service. Number 93C was sold to Chrome Crankshaft in October 1980 and scrapped..
