When I was growing up in Illinois, My Dad rode the chicago and northwestern everday back and forth to work in the city. Being a railfan, I seldom missed a morning or evening. Anyone who knows of the cnw operations back then, knows the normal power was a single E unit on longer commuter trains and a single F unit on 3-5 car trains. The train my Dad rode was always over 10 cars and I always waited to see what unit was pushing the bi-levels. It was always one E-unit. But on one morning, I was quite surprised to see the train was being pushed by 3 F-units..2 F-7B's and an F-7A. THE GROUND SHOOK LIKE THE END OF THE WORLD WAS AT HAND. it was great and a moment I will never forget. There have been many moments, but that one was the best for a young aspiring railfan. Wish I'd have had a video of that.
