Rock Island's F units that made it into the 1970s got traded in to EMD on Union Pacific and Rio Grande accounts. In return, the Rock got some Rio Grande GP7s, and the UP sent a number of well worn "F9s" which were rebuilds of F3As and F3Bs. I don't know if the UP E8s and E9s sent to the Rock were part the deal. Also, there were three passenger F7As that survived to the end of the Rock Island in commuter service.
