MP F3 772
Title:  MP F3 772
Description:  MP F3 772 at Omaha Nebraska on February 3, 1963, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Sometimes referred to as a F5, this unit was built during September 1948 as MP F3 568 (c/n 5436) was renumbered to 772, retired in 1968 and traded to GE. The F5 designation was the result of this order of locomotives being built as F3's but equipped with improved (D27) traction motors that were used in the F7 production, as well as heavier cables and higher capacity traction motor blowers. It was equipped with a steam generator.
