Remarks & Notes

When the WC bought Ex VIA FP9's for passenger service on the former ACR four F9B units were also puchased. From my understanding the B's were for spare parts. Two of the B's were stripped of parts at Steelton and then scrapped. The other two were returned to service and spent a few years roaming the ACR and WC. 6602 was one of the unfortunate ones to go to scrap and is seen here resting at Steelton after being stripped of useable components.
