An A-B-B-B-A set of F7's & 9's waits to head southbound from Sumas Washington to Seattle. Who can spot the shop goof up on 758?
No, that's not it. For one reason or another BN did not use the top nose lights on some of the F's if the unit was equipped with a front door light. I have several pictures with the top nose light painted green and or covered with grime. There is another error to do with the paint scheme. Look at 725 for a hint.
 
Yes. The mistake was never corrected & 758 went to Simon & Sons for scrap in August 1980. That, as far as I know was the only F unit that had the logo & number reversed.
