[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by nfmisso</i> <br />[ <br />They were generally E-units. The F-units if/when used were standby power due to an E unit failure. <br /> <br />On the N&W videos I have, I have not seen a Southern F unit with a passenger train. There are E6 and E7's. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The first that I remeber seeing in Roanoke were painted in the black and white scheme that I had always tought was used only on freight power. And I suppose that it was possible that these were standby as I can also recall seeing the green,gold and white frequently also. <br /> <br />Of course, this encroachment into the heart of steam was not that welcome a sight. The Southern diesels were a treaat as my father grew up on the Southern mainline in South Carolina so it was a favorite railroad. <br /> <br />Isn'y it great that we can relive and share our memories of times gone by through this technology? <br /> <br />Tom Blair <br />VA Beach,VA <br />
