These early American diesels were sooo handsome!
Since comments are turned off on your 100 sub special. Just thought I’d say congrats! I enjoy your content’
Thankies also didn’t realize I turned comments off. Oopsie
My favorite locomotives are the F3’s, thanks for the informative video 😊👍
This is the E3 my good man. The F3s have 4 axles, the E3 has 6 axles.
@@ironhorsehistorian9871 oh ok, thanks for the info.. I learn something new every day. So thats the only difference? Because body wise they are similar. 👍
@@FLRailroaddog well E units are longer and run on 2, 3 axle trucks (6 wheels per truck) .
F units are shorter and run on 2, 2 axle truck (4 wheels per truck).

I don't think its fair to say that the E3 was unsuccessful because not very many were sold. The E3 was EMC's first "off the shelf" (Same locomotive for every railroad that ordered it) passenger model, where the EAs, E1s, and E2s were all built for specific railroads. All of those models are considered successful, even though they ran on less reliable Winton 201-a engine. EMC made a profit off the E3, and the railroads used them for many years, which in my opinion makes them successful.
Can you make a video on the E8-9's?
Certainly
Can you do engines of el-3a because I like it 👌 😅
That’s an electric right?
Could you do a video of the Rock Island AB6 and the CB&Q railroad E5 series. Thank you.
Hmmm 🤔 interesting ideas. Typically I try and aim for engines used by multiple railroads. Then again I don’t think I’ve seen images of the locomotives you mentioned. But I’ll take a look.
@@ironhorsehistorian9871 They were E6 booster modified cab to bend in with A6 units on the Rock Island's primer passenger train, The Rocky Mountain Rocket that ran from Chicago to Denver, Colorado and Colorado Springs. The train would split at Limon, Colorado where the A unit went to Denver, and AB6 would go to Colorado Springs. The consist would reunite on the return to Limon. They used in the Chicago commuter service until their retirement. There is a fascinating story behind those E units. Mo Pacific an E6 with one engine were the space for the 2nd engine was turned into a baggage department. I will leave the rest to you to research.
I didn't realize that there was an E3 model. Can you do a video on the F7 and F9 A and B series?
I’m surprised I’ve not covered any f units. I’ll rectify that.
@@ironhorsehistorian9871 Thanks. I been watch all of your documentaries when I can.
Thanks! People like u are my coal and water. People watch so I make, everyone wins.
Southern railroad had E too
Thanks for the bit of info, the main reason I don’t include every rr is so I don’t have the video get long winded. Also if I can’t find a photo, I don’t include the Engine
