Rio Grande F3A 5531 |
Description: |
Parked at Burnham in Denver with a pair of B-Units, F3A 5531 had its portrait taken. 5531 was built by EMD in November 1946 as 553A. It was wrecked at Dos, CO in November 1953 and rebuilt with a F9A carbody. It would be traded in to EMD on a GP40 order in January 1966. |

D&RGW F3 5531 |
Description: |
D&RGW F-3 5531 at Denver, Colorado on August 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1946 as D&RGW F3 553A (c/n 3546) on EMD Order E692, it was renumbered to 5531 during 1950. The appearance of this F3 may be confusing, and on page 56 of Joseph A Strapac's book, "Rio Grande Diesels, A Pictorial History - Vol. 1", he explains: "The most interesting of the F3's was this rebuild. Number 5531 was wrecked at Dos, Colorado, on November 20, 1953, and was sent back to EMD for a totally new carbody featuring the then-current rounded door corners, F9 side panels, and Farr-air grills. Considered a F9m by EMD, it carried all the latest electrical gear, but was still rated at 1500 horsepower. The F3, F7, and F9 roof fan modules were interchangeable." I believe this is Train #7, The Prospector, scheduled to depart Denver at 6:25 PM, arriving at Salt Lake City at 8:40 AM. Included in the consist is a cafe-lounge car, standard sleepers, and chair cars. |

D&RGW F3 5544 at Denver Union Station, Denver, Colorado on August 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Completed on November 29, 1946 as D&RGW F3 554D (c/n 3549) on EMD Order E692, it was renumbered to 5544 during 1950, retired in December 1965, and traded to EMD as credit on an order of GP40's. This is likely power for the soon to arrive California Zephyr, replacing the CB&Q E-units, and taking the CZ to Salt Lake City, where these units will be replaced by Western Pacific F-units. |

another look close up |
Description: |
classic NP and maybe not seen as much as were the GP7/9s. Or at least not by me! I guess it just depended upon the part of the railroad that you were seeing at the time! In other words, different engines ran in different places, and not just anywhere at any time! Different things were in different places and so there was "a taste and a flavor" to things, and that was part of the fun of it! |

Title: |
EL F3A #6621 - Erie Lackawanna |
Description: |
The proud profile of this EMD built F3A unit is captured in this photo by F. R. Kern while stopped at Scranton, PA. Originally delivered to Delaware, Lackawanna & Western as #662A in March of 1948 (builder #4978), this photo must have been taken shortly after the EL merger. Unusually sharp looking diesel on this January day! |
