ATSF F-3 vs ATSF FT

Ed KellyOGR Forum Member

For the Santa Fe fans,

Did the SF Freight F-3's have the same crimson strip on the front of the A unit that the SF FT's had?

Thanks,

Ed

Santa Fe bought only two sets of F3's for freight service, delivered in 1948: 200LABC and 201LABC. F7's were purchased after that.

The Santa Fe began to abbreviate then eliminate the crimson stripe on the FT's in 1947.

The "cigar band' herald was introduced on freight units in 1953.
