CGW F3 107A
Title:  CGW F3 107A
Description:  Chicago Great Western Railway F3 107A in Chicago, Illinois on March 7, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in March 1948 (c/n 5004) on EMD Order E858A for 12 F3A's. It appear to have been retired without receiving a C&NW number. I believe that is Cicero Avenue passing over the tracks in the background.

CGW F3 113A
Title:  CGW F3 113A
Description:  Chicago Great Western Railway F3 113A in Chicago, Illinois on October 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1949 (c/n 5989) on EMD Order E963A, it became C&NW 113A after the July 1968 merger, and in 1971 it was renumbered 212 (2nd). This model is sometimes referred to as an F5 because it was built with F3 components but upgraded (D27B) traction motors, although EMD never had an F5 in their catalog. It was retired in June 1985, traded to EMD, and scrapped by Saint Louis Auto Shredding, Madison, Illinois.

CGW F3 113C
Title:  CGW F3 113C
Description:  Chicago Great Western Railway F3 113C in Saint Paul, Minnesota on February 5, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1949 (c/n 5990) on EMD Order E963A, it retained the CGW road number for a few years after the July 1968 merger, renumbered to 213 in 1971, retired, traded to EMD and scrapped by Saint Louis Auto Shredding (Madison, Illinois) in June 1985. Some folks refer to this as a model F5, however, EMD considered it an F3, built with F3 components in the latest carbody refinement which carried over to the first production F7's. It was equipped with upgraded traction motors (D27B), thus setting it apart from earlier F3's.

CGW F3 114C
Title:  CGW F3 114C
Description:  Chicago Great Western Railway F3 114C in Chicago, Illinois, August 20, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1949 (c/n 5992) on EMD Order E963A, it retained the CGW road number when the CGW and C&NW merged in July 1968, and was sold to Chrome Crankshaft sometime before 1971. Often erroneously referred to as an F5, this was a Phase IV F3, built in the final F3 carbody which carried over to the Phase I F7, but using EMD D27B traction motors. There was no F5 in EMD's catalog.

CGW F3 115C
Title:  CGW F3 115C
Description:  Chicago Great Western Railway F3 115C in Chicago, Illinois on August 20, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1949 (c/n 5994) on EMD Order E963A for six F3A's. Sometime after July 1, 1968, it became C&NW 216. It is a Phase IV F3, utilizing the carbody the has become accepted as the F7 carbody, although from EMD's point of view, it is the improved F3 carbody carried over to the F7. The spotting difference is up on the roof: a Phase IV F3 has a pair of rectangular grid openings behind the cab for the dynamic brakes (if so equipped), and a Phase I F7 has a 36 inch fan.
