Reply to "Lionel MPC F3's?"

What are the item #s for these Hillside assembled units?  Can's believe there are no pics recorded anywhere of Hillside under operation with General Mills.  History lost for sure.   Were the tools and equipment in Hagerstown moved back the NJ?

"Until the Rio Grande (74 and 75), all the F-3's had been made in New Jersey. The Rio Grande was the first F-3 to be made entirely in Mt. Clemmens, although the shells had always been molded there"

 

This would indicate that the B & O, Canadian Pacific, and Amtrak were made in Hillside.
