Even though the "decks" weren't really true "decapods", that stuck as the
popular name for the class, also officially designated as the "F"
(for "FREIGHT"!) class.



Thanks Wolf, wasn't thinking about the fact a 10 coupled loco is a decapod.....duh. Also, forgot this was an original build loco for the SF and then picked up by many others.

Thanks!
