former railway's assets, by the Fortress Investment Group and formed into the Central Maine and Quebec Railway. The Southern Appalachia Railway Museum owns Clinchfield Railroad F3A (upgraded to F7A) #800. In 2017, it was repainted to the classic CRR gray and yellow by CSX, and operated on the 2017 Santa Train and excursion trains in Orlando, FL until leaving to move Chesapeake and Ohio 2716 from New Haven, KY to Ravenna, KY. It is now at SARM over one year after its acquisition by the museum. During the time the #800 was operated by CSX, it wore the railroad's then-current YN2 paint scheme. There is a ex-Clinchfield Railroad F3B unit, originally numbered 852 and rebuilt to an F7B, stored at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga, TN. This unit is best known for its use on the Haysi Railroad, in which it was equipped it with radio controls and a makeshift cab in 1972. It is owned by Vintage Locomotive Inc but is stored on the property, making it not likely to be restored by the TVRM. In popular culture Since 1948, Lionel has made models of the F3 in many versions and paint schemes. The 1948 to 1949 Santa Fe F3 is arguably the most famous toy train ever made. The 2345 Lionel Western Pacific, in production for only one year, is the one of the rarest and most sought after variants of postwar Lionel F3 model train production.
