I have an overhead shot of 133 showing the rectangular opening dynamic brake vent, rather than the circular fan of later types.

Thanks!

Subject: [CBQ] RE: [EMD] F-2's - F-3's (F-5 model designation on the CB&Q)

Bill and Lists-

This discussion was on the EMD list and I am copying it to the CBQ list as it might be of interest there…..

I thought I had a photo or other documentation for the CB&Q officially referring to the F-5 model; looking through my photos I cannot find such (all my photos of the 133-ABCD are not sharp enough to read the model plate). The roster in the Burlington in Transition and EMD Locomotive Reference Data books do not support it either.

Somehow I recall seeing the F-5 badge “back in the day” and thought it odd then but since it has been around 40 years now I could be mistaken.    The units I suspect were “F-5s” are the 133-ABCD; they were delivered out of sequence and later than the last sister F-3 units and had the external features of an F-7 (as did the other units on that order) but not sure of the dynamic fan.  

While on the subject of CB&Q F units; the roster shows the two of the four unit FTs broken into two unit sets 101-CD in 1-44 to 201-CD and 102-CD to 202-CD in 2-44.  What happened to the 101-AB and 102-AB in that time period before the arrival of the

F-2A units and combination in 1946 with the 100-ABCD thru 104-ABCD into three unit FT/F2 sets  150-ABC thru 159-ABC?
