 F7's 339 and 303 and an unidentified B-unit pull a westbound freight over Ach Creek west of Pawnee Rock, Kansas in April 1970. Pure lashups of passenger F's on secondary mainline trains such as this one were quite common at the time. |
 John McCall built this model of F7B 45A using the plated version of the Highliner kit. Dr. McCall indicates the assembly is well within reach of most model buildes. He used Scalecoat Aluminum to simulate the roof and side panels which were not stainless steel on the prototype. Five-inch tall "Santa Fe" letters were added by the railroad to B-units in March 1954. - Jay Miller |
 F7A 301 leaves Del Mar ("Where the Surf Meets the Turf") with the southbound San Diegan in October 1954. Locomotive 300 through 314 were delivered from 1949 through 1952 as L-A-B lashups so by 1954 an extra cab unit had joined this consist. -John McCall Collection |
