SARM 'F' Units at ETTP
 
Charlie Womack and I stopped at ETTP after our last KAMR meeting to take a close look at the two EMD F-units parked near the highway. One unit is a Milwaukee F-7A, the other is an FP-7A. We were not able to determine the (original?) road name of the FP. :confused: I've looked at these units a number of times but not until this visit did I notice the gap between the lead truck and the first fuel tank. Many of you know that this was a custom option from EMP that extended the unit by 4 feet just behind the crew cab to incorporate additional water storage for the steam generator.

Charlie took some pictures that I hope he can get posted soon for your scrutiny.

I finally got around to logging back on and so I thought I would post a few pictures here. You will notice that the second picture is the one that has the gap mentioned between the Fuel tank and the truck.

See ya soon, Charlie

Charlie-

Thanks for posting the photos, those are really interesting units.
I'm amazed you didn't break your camera.... after all, it looks like Bruce is in a shot! :D

Have fun,

Ridicule is futile. The penalty for such an attempt is and always will be to provide of fresh bagels! :cool:
