Louis,

CB&Q #163 in the photo you attached also has my personal favorite antenna for an F unit, the Wagon Wheel.

Later,  Dave S.   Tucson, AZ

Charlie - As the F units aged, many had the clamshell doors removed on their enclosed pilot exposing the coupler such as F7 163A shown in the unidentified attached image. Best Regards - Louis

Aside from the cleaner styling one consideration might have been the uncoupling gear was protected behind the pilot on the "enclosed" pilot as compared to it being out front and exposed on the "open" type.  The coupler being behind the clamshell doors also was supposed to keep anything hit from becoming entangled in it.  All Q F units had the enclosed pilots except the FTs and F2 units which had the open style (and three or four digit small side mounted numberboards).

I notice Burlington Fs use passenger pilots.  Any idea why the preference was for these over freight pilots?

I love the photo -- two C&S F7s on the fuel tracks at Seventh Street in Denver in the mid-1960s, after spark arrestors were applied.
