There are lots of DIESEL railfan trips. F3, BL-2, E's, and all
sots of ALCO's have been used as the interest power on fan trips.
There was also a "last ride" pull of a GG-1 when they stopped
running them on NJTransit, North Jersey coast line.

Right here in Boston we have several local rail fan clubs that
run scenery trips pulled by F40's in pull pull configuration.
Sometimes they use their F10's (rebuilt F3's and F7's) as power.

It is nice to commute to work every day on a train pulled by
a 27 year old rebuilt F3. Complete with original prime movers,
admittedly with alot of parts replaced.
