Steve,
The units were 3 sets of A-B-A F3s built in 1947 for CZ service. Many of
the various Burlington books (Mike Spoor, Kalmbach, etc) have pictures of
them in this service.
It seems that when sufficient numbers of E units arrived on the property,
they were regeared and bumped to freight service. They were eventually
repainted to the grayback scheme, but kept their passenger numbers to the
end.
Regards,
John Lewis

Hi list,
Dumb question here. I know the Burlington purchased
F7s for use on the California Zephyr, painted in the
standard silver. And most photos I have seen of other
Q passenger trains had E's on point.
Were the F7s only used regularly on the CZ ? If so,
why ? did the Q already have enough Es to cover all
their other trains, or did they buy Es for other
trains after the CZ went into service ?
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
