Switchman Images	General	According to Mike Murray, with photo evidence, these two units were scrapped over the past week. :(	10/3/2007 12:08:33 PM

Gregg Bartley	General	For some reason, CF7 locos sort of remind me of salimanders. Head to big for the body...	12/12/2007 5:12:01 PM

Adam T. Fritz	General	Thank you to whover just scrapped those things, those are the ugliest things ever, not even a decent paint scheme!	12/17/2007 7:12:06 AM

Zak Lybrand	General	How could you say that? The CF7s were a vital part of railroading history, in showing us that in a time of need, some railroads had to turn to themselves in order to get new power.	10/28/2008 9:10:10 PM

Doug Little	General	would agree on paint scheme - but the CF7 is an example of "home-shop rebuilding" success story	11/11/2008 6:56:17 PM

David Nutter	General	Nice shot	6/6/2009 7:40:29 PM

Jim Satterwhite	General	These two units were fixtures in Saginaw, Texas for almost 21-years!	7/29/2009 8:55:53 PM

Marlowe Barnes	General	Great shot, Mike. Too bad those units went to the top of the heap at some scrap yard.	12/13/2009 9:09:01 PM

Patrick Smith	General	That's very sad to hear that these locos no longer live. I wonder why they were cut up, they appear to be in sound condition here. I got a soft spot for the CF7's, they grew on me after watching them on the Florida Central for so many years.	6/22/2010 5:29:44 AM

Paul Rome	General	Great shot Mike!	3/29/2011 7:57:00 PM

Greg Jewett	General	nice shot mike	4/29/2011 9:57:12 PM

John Danielson	General	Very nice shot! It was on the homepage.	6/11/2011 7:43:05 PM

Steve E	General	They were an Ugly Beast ! Just saw one last week in rural Minnesota	8/31/2011 11:04:40 PM

Fred Stuckmann	General	Great shot Mike, these CF7s remind me of the new CSX SD40-3 rebuilds.	11/13/2011 2:03:41 PM

Mike Maskel	General	nice shot	11/29/2011 4:29:58 PM

George Sillett	General	I agree, they remind me of CSX SD40-3s. Nice shot!	1/19/2012 9:57:04 AM

Tom Beckett	General	To add to some of the above comments, the CF 7 was a rebuild success story. Santa Fe's Cleburne shop was deep into capital rebuilds before the term was invented. They rebuilt several hundred retired F units into what was essentially a new GP 7 there, and put them into service systemwide in a host of yard and local duties, where they lasted many more years. The shop also rebuilt SD 24's into SD 26's, a number of them ultimately winding up on Guilford in the 1980's, where they lasted til the Millennium. The CF 7's, once retired by ATSF, wound up on short lines nationwide, where they spent another whole lifetime. Even NYSW had a couple. Home page 05-17-2019	5/17/2019 2:33:27 AM

Tom Beckett	General	It is kind of an odd paint scheme, and one you would think is not very visible at road crossings, but in a way, I kinda like it. Home page 02-22-2021	2/22/2021 4:37:19 AM
