They were not built with steam generators, but some of the B units were retrofitted with steam generators in the 1960's to work on the "Ambassador" and "Montrealer" - "Washingtonian" service from Springfield,Mass. to White River Jct.,Vt. until those trains were abolished in 1966. Both the F-7a's and F-7b's had dynamic brakes when built, but had them removed and the hatch blanked over sometime in the late 1960's - early 1970's."</span></p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>That checks with the photo I found of 4265A and a B unit, only the B had the steam generator.</p>
