ex-BO F7A #4517 or possibly NAP #4517  Contributor's Pick!       
This interesting slide by Michael A Tedesco caught this 1950 EMD F7A unit #4517 built for the Baltimore & Ohio (nee-257A) sitting and waiting for the Naparano Iron & Metal Company scrappers to haul away. Thanks to several gentlemen who left comments (see below) that helped me understand what "NAP" on the side meant.

James Cocuzza General Unfortunately, it probably means Naporano Iron and Metal, scrappers. Sad. 9/21/2016 11:33:45 PM
