I worked there in 1971,there were 5 of them scrapped in the yard that we used for parts to fix the others.
Very nice photo Dave. I’m in love with those F’s. Pierre when were they scrapped, what year/month?
I think 3663 was one of the others and there was a GP9??
I wouldn,t know,i was there only a few months.
Prior to July 1971, 11 of the London-built F7′s had been retired, and are shown as being trade-ins to EMD (LaGrange IL) for N&W GP40′s. None of those were renumbered from their Wabash 3-digit numbers (600s).
#Pierre could those be the ones you mean ?
After July 1971, the remaining painted and renumbered units such as those in this photo, were slowly retired ( or in the case of 3659 and 3726, wrecked), until the final remaining London-built Wabash F7, 3725, was retired in Sept1979.
The 3671 survives at Mad River & NKP museum, Bellevue OH; and 3725 is at the Monticello IL museum.
Thank you Bruce.
I guess so but don,t remeember any No.
