F-series

The F-series refers to a line of tank engine locomotives built for industrial and freight purposes, primarily in the early to mid-20th century. They are characterized by their small, lightweight design and concentrated power, making them well-suited for shunting and short-distance haulage within rail yards or industries. Originally produced by manufacturers like the American Locomotive Company, F-series locomotives often featured two- or four-axle configurations and were valued for their durability and efficiency in industrial settings. Their design emphasizes practicality and functionality, serving as reliable workhorses in specific railway operations.
