The EMD F-3 was around since July 1946.

It was 1500hp and its tractive effort was in line with other units...

On level ground, loaded freight, a single unit effectively between 15-30 cars..

Depends on the commodity of course....

Verb tense aside, I sense a trick question. The F3 Diesel wasn't around in '55, was it...?
