Last look at Northwestern F's on a Freight.

            Chicago and Northwestern F7A 423 leads a five-unit set (423-424-421-419-417) on train #183 approaching Mount Prospect Road on March 7, 1981. This was a Proviso-Green Bay train that departed Proviso in the late morning, though the power was most likely changed at Butler yard north of Milwaukee. With the exception of the presidential F's that were renumbered and repainted into the zito yellow scheme, this was the last time I caught Northwestern F-units on a freight train. During the Spring of 1981, the railroad acquired 120 former Rock Island Geeps, the 251-powered ALCO's were re-assigned to Wisconsin and Michigan, most of the GP30's and GP35's were stored, and the F's seemed to disappear from freight service on weekends.
