	Union Pacific EMD F Units
		The Union Pacific Railroad was an early convert to the benefits of dieselization, and as such, was the owner of the largest fleet of EMD F3A cab units and F3B booster unit locomotives in the nation, with 89 cab units and 90 booster units.
		The remaining three cab units, 904, 905, and 909, were rebuilt to F7As by EMD at La Grange in late 1954 and early 1955, becoming the 1455, 1456, and 1460.
		All of the 84 units in the 500-class F9s (41 F9As and 43 F9Bs) were completely remanufactured by EMD at La Grange, from the same number of F3s that remained in both the 1500 and the 1550 classes.

		The EMD GP30 was a 2,250 hp (1,680 kW) four-axle B-B diesel locomotive built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois between July, 1961 and November, 1963.
		Units ordered without dynamic brakes were the same shape, but lacked the intakes to cool the dynamic brake resistor grids.
		EMD originally planned to name the locomotive the GP22, and the first demonstrators were put out under that number, but EMD's marketing department decided to leapfrog GE's numbering to make the new locomotive seem more advanced.

	EMD's F Unit
		This inflexible arrangement was unacceptable to railroads and EMD was forced to re-design the FT and later models with standard couplers.
		These units were 4 feet longer than the standard F and this additional space was used for more water tanks to supply the steam generator.
		The F unit has been referred to as "the diesel that did it" by the editor of Trains magazine.

	Q1a Early EMD Notching and Transitions \| QSI Solutions
		Early EMD sound is used in all F units, Geeps, and E units.
		Early EMD locomotives had a very distinctive generator whine that could easily be heard whenever the motor was revved down.
		In addition, early EMD locomotives had a unique transition effect that is noticeably different from second-generation EMD transitions.

	Union Pacific EMD F Units
		The remaining three cab units, 904, 905, and 909, were rebuilt to F7As by EMD at La Grange in late 1954 and early 1955, becoming the 1455, 1456, and 1460.

		Because of this the only accurate method to determine the carbody style that any particular 500-class unit had is to have a photograph of that particular unit, and that unit may have changed over the years as the high fans were replaced by the low fans.

	Southern Pacific/Cotton Belt/Texas and New Orleans F-Unit Index
		Cotton Belt was the first to receive EMD F units, in the form of five 4 unit FT ABBA sets delivered in June and July of 1944.
		The F A or cab units were given 61 numbers and the F B units or boosters were placed in the 8* series.
		F A or cab units were suffixed A and D, F B units or boosters were suffixed B and C. In 1949 SP decided the alpha suffixes had to go, and so a general renumbering of all system F units took place.

	EMD F units in passenger service....hmmmm... - Trains.com Forums
		The steam generators were in the B units only, which was a feature of ATSF passenger F units right to the end.
		E units had only four motors on their six axles, which made them more prone to slip, although SP bought E-9s with dynamic brakes for mountain use.
		SP certainly had passenger F units for the same (steep grades) reason, and they lasted into Amtrak use, but SP had FP units with steam generators in the A units.

		Units were delivered after the Penn Central merger was commenced, in PC "squiggle" scheme.

		It was renumbered to the 325 Class as 325B in late 1952, and replaced by a new unit, 306B[2nd] before year end.
		On the 325 class page, we find that the unit was repainted with a new yellow bonnet livery, then retired to the CF7 rebuild program to emerge from Cleburne in December of 1976 as CF7 number 2473.
		The FT renumberings are even more complex, as some numbers appeared on both A and B units, as can be seen by this initial chart which resulted from my first attempts to track these units.

	HO Scale Model Railroad Product Reviews Information and Announcements
		The prototype CF7 was produced in the early 1970s by The Santa Fe Railway, being rebuilt from various EMD F units as a road switcher locomotive.
		Fortunately, the CF7 proved to be a desirable unit for smaller railroads and Santa Fe had no trouble selling any excess units they had.
		The first units available are several road numbers for Santa Fe, Amtrak, and LA Junction (a local switching railroad in the Los Angeles area).

		This is our second in a series of F units.
		In 1949, EMD introduced a next generation of F units, designated as F-7s.
		The key improvements over the F-3 included increased horsepower, traction motors and use of the 36" 'pancake fan' for the dynamic brakes, instead of the four 'squirrel cage blowers' found on the F-3s.

		The diesel that was probably most responsible for steam's demise was General Motor's Electo-Motive Division (EMD) F-series, starting the late 1930s.
		It would be hard to tell an E from an F in my 4x4 format, so I'm just calling them "E/F units", unless it has a sharp nose.
		It takes a bit of work to carve the compound curves for the bulldog nose, but if you use cherry and take your time, the results are good.

		I remember maybe > once in all those years seeing a freight train powered by EMD F units.
		You're right....most of the F units seemed to have been kept on the western part of the system, where the terrain was more flat.
		(No sense sending four-axle F-units into the mountains when you have SD45s to do the same job.) From what I understand, many of the F units were assigned for maintenance purposes to the Collinwood shops on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio.
