AMTK 598 |
| Description: |
Wearing a badly faded version of Amtrak's silver and black switcher scheme, CF7 #598 shunts amid the festivities of the LAUPT 50th. This engine began life as Santa Fe F7(A) #211C in 9/49. It was rebuilt into CF7 #2595 in 11/72, and has the rounded roof line of early CF7s that kept that small piece of their F bodies. Amtrak received it in a complicated trade of CF7s and SWs for SDP40Fs in 9/84. |

Oxidizing CF7 among the redwoods |
| Description: |
I would have loved to see this old gal run, but the Santa Cruz tourist line was shut tight when I was there. In the summer, it runs trains down into Santa Cruz, for some great street running with wigwags and tunnels. CF7 #2600 began life as F7(A) 248L in February of 1951. The Santa Fe rebuilt it into a CF7 in October of 1972. |

The Los Angeles Junction was incorporated in 1923 to operate a private line in the Central Manufacturers District. Controlled by Santa Fe and now BNSF, the terminal and switching line has a spaghetti bowl of track in Vernon. Its fleet of four CF7s were rebuilt by Santa Fe from F7(A)s, this one in May of 1972. It began life as F3(A) 201C in November 1948, and was rebuilt into an F7(A) before becoming a CF7. |
