N&W Fs

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

The N&W picked up a fairly large number of F units (40 or so) from the
Wabash, all cabs but one B unit.  Many were built in the late 1940's
making them F-3's?.  A lot were F-7's.  The F's were used in WAB
territory mostly especially in Canada with Canadian built locos.  A
number were leased to CNJ in the late 60's where they lived out their
lives.  All were gone by 1970 or so.

The N&W picked up about 14 E units too in the lease.   A few ran in
passenger service system wide.

See Withers and Bowers Second Generation book for these units.
