Re: [CBQ] FT units question

["cvlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

I don't think so.  IIRC only ATSF FTs were delivered with couplers between the 
units... they were designed to be drawbarred together.  In fact, unless 
specially equipped or modified FTA and FTB units could not work by themselves 
because some shared components were in either the A or B unit.
On the CB&Q the units stayed drawbarred together... in fact, I think the FT/F2 
sets were set up that way as well.   The F2s were couplered at some point but 
it appears that at least some, if not all, of them were in A-B-A FT/F2 sets 
connected with drawbars.   Not sure about the configuration of the FT A-B-B-A 
sets as delivered.

  Were the FT's ever broken down into single units or just AB sets? I know they 
started out with drawbars and there were some sets broken up and matched with 
F2's.
