They were upgraded to F7s in later years.

The two F3 A-B-A sets ordered by the CNR each consisted of three locomotives, 2 "A" units with control cabs, and a "B" unit without.
CNR's two sets were numbered 9000-9001-9002 and 9003-9004-9005. 9001 and 9004 were the cabless units.
CNR's six F3's were the only ones owned by a Canadian railway.
These six locomotives were ordered for, and normally used only in freight service, although they did occasionally get assigned to passenger trains.
