Left Out in the Dark

GM&O F3A 800-B is posed just outside the engine house in Bloomington, Illinois—it would soon be retired from the Illinois Central Gulf. Some of the F-units were scrapped, but this particular unit lived on as a commuter engine, number 1103, for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.
