    I used to fuel the BNSF and UP locomotives. Up until about four years ago, that FT unit was still at the Stockton UP yard.

      There's absolutely no way. Maybe you're thinking of an EMD F7? The FT is nearly extinct. Only 2 A units and a few B units remain.

      Aren’t those the Iowa Pacific F units that once operated from Watsonville to Santa Cruz?

      All I know is, it was an old streamlined diesel. It was dilapidated and worn out. It had graffiti painted all over it, too. No surprise, there. One day I showed up to work and, it was gone.

      Those F7s were Iowa Pacific locomotives that operated over the Santa Cruz line for a few years. After Iowa Pacific went bankrupt they sat in the Stockton Yard waiting to be sold along with their coaches. They’ve been sold since but I have no idea who owns them now.

    So what were some of those early problems and how were they overcome, please?

      Poor electrical transitioning and ineffective dynamic braking. Improved by feedback to the design engineers.
