CN 9003
Title:  CN 9003
Description:  Icy looking F3A unit built by EMD in May of 1948 for the Canadian National sits in the Elsdon Yard in Chicago on a frigid January day in 1971. Note on the back of the photo states "Canadian National F-3A #9003 stands in GTW's Elsdon Yard with ice all but concealing the lovers that appear on the carbody top instead of the usual grill work. Unit carries the usual roof top bell and yellow warning light, but has had her appearance changed radically with the addition of extra lovers to the car body. Simularily treated #9002 was the other end of the four unit lash-up which consisted of CN F-3B's #9001 and #9004 in the middle. These four units frequently run Port Huron, Michigan to Lang Yard, Toledo, Ohio on the D&TSL, but were making a welcome visit to Chicago on January 30, 1971." Jim Woznickzka photo
