EMD's F2 units: a transitory model of which none were preserved

 from American Rails


The F2 enjoyed the shortest domestic production run in Electro-Motive's F series catalog, built only from July to November, 1947. However, it was never meant to be a long-running model, only a temporary measure until the builder had worked out the problems with its latest generator.

The F2's brief catalog saw sales reach only slightly more than 100 units (A's and B's), among a handful of railroads.
