CB&Q F7 164A

            Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F7 164A at Clyde, Illinois on October 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler.  This locomotive was built in May 1950 ( c/n 9693 ) and traded to EMD in February 1969.  It was delivered as 164 and mated with two F3's previously delivered as 137C and 137D.  The F3's were renumbered as 164, and were semi-permanently coupled to the newly delivered F7 to form a single locomotive numbered 164.  Suffix letters were assigned to the individual units for maintenance purposes, but not displayed in the numberboards.  As delivered, the cab units had glass-beaded numberboards below the top headlight.  Sometime between July 28 and October 31, 1965, this locomotive was shopped and the drawbars were replaced with couplers, the glass-beaded numberboards were removed, and the road number with the suffix was painted below the top headlight.  The suffix letters were added to the numberboards, and a suffix letter was added to the side number below the side cab window.  It is seen here still coupled to the original F3's to which it was assigned, former 137C and 137D, now 164B and 164C.
