Was there ever a LIRR power/cab car numbered 623? (If yes, which shell did it evolve from?)

It was an F7 A.

Originally B&O.

See the posting "LIRR F UNITS" on page 2. Dave has all of them listed and where they came from.

No, 623 never made it out of Morris Park after being delivered.

I know there was a picture of this unit at Morris Park somewhere on the internet, but I can't seem to find it.

Another website of LIRR photos that I never came across! Don't think I ever saw it before.

Some nice photos there, especially of the F7s. Good subject for a modelling project.
