For me, these F units are the best looking locomotives ever.

Face it, it's a beautiful engine. A classic.

Interesting how the FRA mandate of having the walkway around the engine for switching safety pretty much permanently changed the entire loco design to GP-style.

I had the privilege of being engineer on a 1950 EMD F-7, from 1999 to 2021. It was quite an experience.🙂🙂

I got my engineer training in the 1990's on an F-7 and an FP-7, both built in 1948. New Jersey Transit used F-7 units in 1983 on its lines out of Hoboken.

The F Series in my opinion were the most beautiful diesel locomotives ever built.

Great documentary- especially for those like myself who were too young to see F units in service

Note the FRA did not exist at that time. The correct agency is the ICC

The F series is my all time favorite, the most beautiful ever built.

The Super Chiefs were one of the most beautiful locos ever.
