    This is very cool and very rare – in service photo of two of six CN F3′s.

    While temporarily assigned to Ft Erie in early 1970, the 4 F3′s were also utilized west of Toronto on all Sarnia, London/Windsor, and Ft Erie trains. Twice I personally saw the the 4 of them together (alone) in the dream formation of ABBA.
    No photos, it was while working 3rd trick.
