Chicago Great Western Railway F3 114C in Chicago, Illinois, August 20, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1949 (c/n 5992) on EMD Order E963A, it retained the CGW road number when the CGW and C&NW merged in July 1968, and was sold to Chrome Crankshaft sometime before 1971. Often erroneously referred to as an F5, this was a Phase IV F3, built in the final F3 carbody which carried over to the Phase I F7, but using EMD D27B traction motors. There was no F5 in EMD's catalog. |
