Nostalgia & History > The end was near for Santa Fe's F-7B's......Date: 08/29/04 20:40 The end was near for Santa Fe's F-7B's...... Author: ATSF100WEST More from my new Epson 4870 Scanner......
In August of 1978, all that was left from the once mighty F-3/7 fleet on the Santa Fe was several dozen "B" units. The CF-7 program had processed the majority (if not all) of the "A" units by this date. GP-7 2826, although in the "Yellow Bonnet", would itself succumb to yet another Cleburne, Texas project. It successfully made it through to the BNSF; today she is their 3825. Bob ATSF100WEST......Out Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/02/15 13:13 by ATSF100WEST.

It seems like Cleburne had to fabricate almost the whole CF7 (at least the last ones) from scratch anyway so why not build a cab too. ICG did it. Did ATSF not need that many 4 axle units to justify the extra effort?
