In a fitting winter scene from February,
1961, F3 number 33 has charge of the Grand Canyon as it begins the
assault on Raton Pass just west of Trinidad, Colorado. Note the
dynamic brake fan on the middle booster unit. As built, F3's had
"chicken wire" covers over their dynamic brake slits.
By the late 1950's most F3's had been upgraded to F7 standards.
