The Minnesota Transportation Museum will be starting to disassemble the CF7 we acquired as parts for our F7. If anyone has interest in CF7 specific body parts please let us know.

It is most definitely not in ATSF colors except poking out from under the Rustoleum Brown.

There is a post on Facebook where Bob Finan is trying to save the second Santa Fe GP7. In one of those posts it mentions that Cleburne TX is looking for a CF7. Not sure if they would be interested in a shell for display or if they are wanting an intact loco.

Here is what it looked like in January before it left the Colebrookdale RR, 2627 is its original CF-7 number, it was AT&SF 21, an F3A, before that: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoPi ... x?id=70608

CF7 numbers started at 2649 and counted down, which makes this one about the 22nd rebuilt...
