QUOTE: Originally posted by macguy I've never liked the look of F-Units.
QUOTE: Originally posted by amtrak-tom Gabe, I had missed your original post about F units. I have seen the Maryland Rail Commuter (MARC) trains on the CSX line running F units in Baltimore, MD on their Camden Line. It has been about a year or so since I've last spotted them.
QUOTE: Originally posted by choochin3 RudyRockvilleMD is right about the MARC 7100. It is a cab control unit,and it also is HEP equipped.The cool thing is that the 7100 is still riding on home rails as it is a former B&O F7[:D]

QUOTE: Originally posted by ShaunCN on the GEXR(railamerica) in Goderich Ontario they use two FP9A units numbered 1400 and 1401. Also I think Ontario Northland has some F units on freight and passenger service
QUOTE: Originally posted by gabe Are you sure the F-units you saw weren't really E-units? I am not saying that is the case, but I am not sure the IC had that many F-units, as GM&O had retired most of them before the merger. However, IC had no shortage of E units, and they have been used on IC business trains. Disclaimer: yes, I know ICG did have some F units from the GM&O merger, as some were even painted in the orange and white. My point is I think they were so few that they could not have possibly survived--unlike the E-units, which did survive. Gabe Hawkins

Randy I thought MMA was going towards an all GE roster. They had the ex-DRGW tunnel motors for awhile, but had read that they sent them elsewhere and were focusing on single builder. Is the F3 an old BAR unit? BAR was running F units and I think even thier BL2s up into the 80s.
QUOTE: Originally posted by amtrak-tom CSX Brunswick Line, that's the one (got that one confused with the Camden). I had seen it traveling over the 95/495 bridge in Silver Spring, Md. That was longer ago than I was remembering!
QUOTE: Originally posted by Randy Stahl The MMA f-40s are being dismantled for use in Estonia. The F-3 is the only BAR one left as far as I know...don't see to many F-3s these days. The BL-2 s are stored at the Green Bay Ry museum , maybe someday we can take them home to Maine. Randy
