Just curious:

Are there any F-units still out there with dynamic brakes ??

I use the term F-unit loosely: F-3, F-7, FP-7, FL-9, etc. etc.

This question is not about 6-axle E-units, though.

Anything in service, freight or commuter, stored, or available, with dynamic brakes ??

Steve,

What are you boys planning out there? A HEP car and F-units with dynamic brakes.

Are "we" going up the gorge?

John Smith's ex-Clinchfield FP7 and F7B (painted Western Maryland) on the Tygart Flyer in Elkins, West Virginia have operable dynamic brakes. They are currently in service.

There are two A-units and several B's not active but apparently available.
