F Units

[NW Modeling List]

Yep,  

N&W had them.  They mainly ran on the old Wabash Lines and in Canada.  A lot stayed in Canada.   The N&W First Generation Diesels by Bowers & Withers (out of print and hard to find) had a lot of information on these.   A few units hung around to the mid to late 70's.  Most were gone by the early 70's though.    I don't think any of them made it down to the coal fields and if I remember the lacked dynamic brakes.  The few pictures I have seen of them show them pulling general merchandise freights.
