Originally in 1947 the NP’s F3’s were delivered in A-B-B sets. It was determined that configuration created difficulty in turning the sets, so more F cab units were purchased to replace the trailing B units, thus changing the engine sets to the A-B-A configuration. By the time this Loewy Two-Tone-Green paint was applied, most of the ‘A-B-A sets’ had been broken up to serve as needed over the system.

This B unit was delivered in 1952 in the ’47 Streamliner Scheme, then painted this popular scheme in 1954 and served the railroad until BN merger date of March 1970.
