[CBQ] Re: Lettering on E & F Units

[richard haave <therrboomer@yahoo.com>]

Builders plates where attached at the factory by EMD
   
  Not positive about model plates, but my guess is also at factory
   
  The "F" marker on a locomotive is a government requirement ( ICC now FRA ), 
it denotes the front of the locomtive for reporting purposes, such as "Left # 3 
brakeshoe not in line with tread" or "Right rear sander inoperative". It 
doesn't matter which end the "F" is on it just has to be there.
