WP F7A #917D was built by EMD in January of 1950. The loco lasted well beyond its replacement time. Four Western Pacfiic F7A's were lucky survivors that received rebults. #917 was rebuilt in the WP's Stockton shops in 1977 and continued until retirement in 1981. It ended up at the Bay Area Electric Rwy Association. A trade in 2005 sent it to its current home of the Western Pacific RR Museum in Portolo, CA. This is a Bob gottier slide. No date or location was given but it appears to be the Stockton Yards after its rebuilt by the WP shops. |
