No. The F10s were custom (re)built (from F3As and F7As from the GM&O) for the MBTA. After the MBTA retired them (they bought F40PHs) some ended up being purchased by Metro North who uses them for backup power.
FYI, we're watching her depart WB (south) from MERRIT 7 station. She passes block limit GLOVE just south of the station and north of the Glover Ave grade crossing.
Built (originally) in November 1946 for the Gulf ,Mobile & Ohio as #880A , so yes it was built that long ago , although it has been extensively rebuilt a few times since.
it's dead now :(
i saw it in between the overpass and croton my friend paul who is a conductor told me it will never be alive again

The 413 is still alive and kicking. She was graceful on the wire train in April. Currently at malfunction junction (aka Harmon).

Road....you are thinking of the FL-9, which was indeed built in '57. MN received 4 (410-413)of these rebuilt F3's from MBTA.

And they once had V12 engines, something that LIRR and NY&A still have on their SW6000s! (only as freight/yard movers)
