The Electro Motive Division F9 series was built for both freight and passenger use and an upgrade from predecessor models in the F unit family tree. Models that ended with a B in their name, such as "F9B" or "F3B" meant that it was a cabless booster unit. Once hooked up to another locomotive, an engineer could control both the locomotive and the booster with just one control stand and the train would have a lot more power.

Huge changes in the way Americans traveled led to the demise of the Southern Belle in 1969; it also signaled the end of KCS diesels in Belle motif. Actually, KCS had discontinued painting freight cabs in the popular tri-color scheme in the early 1950s, as the focus at KCS (as with other railroads) had shifted from marketing to operating ratios and cost cutting measures. Economy was the norm; the classy locomotive attire once worn by the railroad's first generation motive power gave way to different single-color schemes with simplified trim.



The handles for getting inside are located in the top right corners of the door frames.

MAKE SURE YOU RELEASE THE HANDBRAKE THAT'S LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE UNIT.

Startup:

Behind the steam generator water tank is the electrical breaker box. Toggle every breaker. Next, make your way behind the engine to the engine control stand. Toggle the "Fuel Pumps" key and the isolation key. After that, simply press the "PRIME MOVER START" button, wait until the engine primes, and then it'll startup.

Usage:

Connect this booster unit to the rear (or front of the lead locomotive if you're weird) of the lead locomotive, and it'll automatically follow all the instructions that the lead locomotive also receives.


This locomotive utilizes the latest standardized Engine Slave Systems 1.4, and is mostly compatible back to 1.0 in all regards but dynamic brakes and rolling stock brakes. The front of the booster unit is where "Pittsburg" is written, so select whether or not it is receiving from the front connector, rear connector, or radio signal (defaults to front). If it is receiving from radio, make sure the master unit and slave are both on the same frequency. If the locomotive is facing away from the master, make sure to invert its direction.
