| Chicago Great Western Railway F3 113A in Chicago, Illinois on October 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1949 (c/n 5989) on EMD Order E963A, it became C&NW 113A after the July 1968 merger, and in 1971 it was renumbered 212 (2nd). This model is sometimes referred to as an F5 because it was built with F3 components but upgraded (D27B) traction motors, although EMD never had an F5 in their catalog. It was retired in June 1985, traded to EMD, and scrapped by Saint Louis Auto Shredding, Madison, Illinois. |
