In these images captured during the 1960s, an A-B-B trio of Black Widow F7 units are on point leading an unidentified Southern Pacific mail & express train.

I know I'm late for the party, but here's my contribution to this honor roll of notable F's. Early BN manifest on the WP's inside gateway to Klamath Falls, via Almanor and Bieber (in theory).

Thanks, Jim! Yeah, it was a matter of dust. I hadn't cleaned out my case in over a year, so you can imagine the cake built up around the fans. :blush2: :negative: After cleaning that mess, OR and MSTS both run again. It's been relaxing just running trains again.

Love that Verde Canyon RR scheme!

Some pacing shots.
