Two C&O F7s bracket 4 B&O geeps and F7s - October 1968 - 2 of 5
Title:  Two C&O F7s bracket 4 B&O geeps and F7s - October 1968 - 2 of 5
Description:  Torpedo boat geeps (main air reservoirs on top) provided for more fuel capacity, but at the expense of maintenance issues, as the hot exhaust cooked the compressed air. A lot of roads tried them and went away from them, and you don't see them today.
