Great Northern Empire Builder.
Title:  Great Northern Empire Builder.
Description:  Classic shot of an oncoming GN F3A on point of the Empire Builder, taken while apparently leaning out the door of the reverse direction Empire Builder. That might have been frowned upon even back then, but it made for a really interesting action shot! I obtained this photo from the steward in my car on the Empire Builder from Chicago to Everett, WA. I wish I had his name so I could credit him. Thanks for the photo!

GN F3 432A
Title:  GN F3 432A
Description:  Great Northern Railway F3 432A westbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 11, 1963, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Karl Rethwisch, a retired CB&Q Engineer offers the following experience.

Those were the GREAT days of RR'ing. as far as I'm concerned but the GN junk we were saddled with took some of the "joy" out of it. I can't recall the no. but one of those beasts, a GN F3A, nearly killed me on train 88 at Dugan X'ing. years ago. I witnessed, first hand and up close, a crankcase explosion that totally destroyed the prime mover and, very nearly, yours truly.
