Metro North F10

Metro North Railroad still operates a handful of classic "bulldog nose" F units on some branches in Connecticut. Here 1946-built F10 no 413 thrapes away from Merritt , on the Danbury branch with a peak hour service from Stamford CT.

FYI, we're watching her depart WB (south) from MERRIT 7 station. She passes block limit GLOVE just south of the station and north of the Glover Ave grade crossing.

So nostalgic to me

[@Echo_Sierra]

No. The F10s were custom (re)built (from F3As and F7As from the GM&O) for the MBTA. After the MBTA retired them (they bought F40PHs) some ended up being purchased by Metro North who uses them for backup power.

there are going to be

[@mjkft22]

how about Union Pacific 844? shes run for 60 years straight, only American steam locomotive to have never been retired

The 413 is still alive and kicking. She was graceful on the wire train in April. Currently at malfunction junction (aka Harmon).

they are not that old. Try 1957 (OK, still pretty darn old!)

Road....you are thinking of the FL-9, which was indeed built in '57. MN received 4 (410-413)of these rebuilt F3's from MBTA.

[@RoadCone411]

thanks for clearing that up! 60+ years old is pretty impressive for a locomotive!

And they once had V12 engines, something that LIRR and NY&A still have on their SW6000s! (only as freight/yard movers)
