The North Western had 1 E2A, 4 E3As, 5 E6As, 26 E7As, and 21 E8As during the "400" era. During and after 1958, a total of 43 freight-service F7As were converted to passenger service, and were equipped with diesel generator sets to provide electrical power for bi-level cars. The converted F7s could be found on the "Peninsula 400", the "Flambeau 400", other trains in the fleet converted to bi-level service. All but 2 of the E8As had their steam generators replaced with diesel gen sets by the end of 1963, and the other 2 were converted in 1964. <br /> <br />In 1955, the road's 4 FTAs and 4 FTBs were remanufactured as FP9As (the only ones in the US) and F9Bs, and were equipped with steam generators. They occasionally appeared on "400" trains. <br /> <br />
