Hey Bill,
Marc (frenchelectrician), said he had a pic here, where is it?.

Here's circuit man - AKA Erwin Summer





(How's about some more pictures of you guys & gals?
Any of us moderators would be glad to post them for you...S)

To Marc (FrenchElectrician),

What's the make and model of the Locomotive you are on?

Looks a lot like a "CF-7", which were "Converted" F-7A full Carbody Units, Converted by Santa Fe Railroad beginning in the mid 1980's, continuing to the mid 1990's - and upto Y2K with Conversions with EMD (General Motors) GP-7, GP-9 and GP-20 Units (Cab Conversions and De-Turbocharging + a few RCE tweeks).

The Long Hood and "North American Cab", as viewed from the Engineer's side (such as your image), look very much like a Retired ATSF Model CF-7.

ATSF went through 3 Phases of Body Styles with the CF-7, and 2 Phases with the GP-7/9/20 Capital Rebuild Programs.
