According to the "Union Pacific Motive Power Review 1968-1977" and the Railroad Magazine series "Diesel Locomotive Rosters", the only UP F units to serve as passenger power were F3As 900-904 and F3Bs 900BC-904BC; F3s 905-910 and 905BC, 907BC and 909BC; and FP7As 910 and 911; and F7Bs 910BC. Both sources indicate all of these units were renumbered into the 1400-series and placed in freight service by the mid 1950s. <br /> <br />So, sorry to say, the UP F9s (as noted by other posters, these were rebuilt F3s) didn't work in passenger service. <br /> <br />EMD only built 87 F9As (77 for US roads; 10 for Mexico). The only US roads I can think of to have used F9s in regular passenger service were NP, BN, D&RGW and MILW.
