EMD F7A

105k RailfanEthan  7.8 years ago

Built by the Elctro-Motive Division, or EMD, the F7a was the main purpose steam locomotives were being replaced. The A units controlled 1,500hp, and multiple B units could be lashed up behind and also be controlled from the front. They were produced from 1949 to 1953, and 2,633 units successfully have been placed in service. They ranged all over the world - some stayed in the North America, and some went to Australia.

The F7 was a revamped verison of the F3, and no noticeable differences were changed - except for electrical. The only visible change was the "chicken wire" removed from the nose. Passenger & freight was hauled by the F7s, one difference was the headlight - Freight had one light, Passenger had 2 nose mounted lights.

Controls: Trim is throttle, VTOL is reverser, brake is brake (duh), throttle is engine brake, and 1-3 is lights.
Enjoy!
