============================
N&W inherited approx 100 F7s from Wabash in the Oct
1964 merger. The ranks thinned quickly as N&W retired
great numbers of them. They ran mainly on ex-Wabash
lines espec  into Canada. They never ran on the old
N&W "proper" (the pre-merger portion of N&W) as far as
I know. Some of them ran into the mid 1970s - mainly
in the Buffalo to Canada area IIRC.
