Dominic Mazoch posted:And the ATSF seemed to use their covered wagons a lot longer than most roads. I remember F units on freights in the mid 1970's in Texas while riding the Amtrak LONE STAR. And B units on a freight crossing the causeway going to Galveston.
By that time, though, i would think the FT's would have retired.
The last Santa Fe FT-A was scrapped in 1965, the last FT-B in1966.
And of course, 94 F3's and F7's went on in 1970-1973 to become CF7's, some of which are still in service.
