this 12 unit order was reclassed again to
FP-20a with the high speed geared set classed FP-20.

...  one of the A-B-A sets came with passenger gearing.  In April,  
1949 9 other units were re geared for passenger duty.  They  
originally carried the FP-3 class, changing to the FP-20a in 1951 and  
in 1952 they dropped the "a".  By April, 1953 all Erie-Builts' became  
FF-20.




The above info answers my questions- thanks.

Additional question:  w/the  FF-20 classification of 4/53, were the  
12 units w/steam generators changed to freight gearing?
