Title: The history of Santa Fe's rebuilding of their F7s.
Product review: The Santa Fe super chief passenger trains of the 40's,50's and 60's were top of the line trains in their day. But nothing stirs more emotions then the thought of that train racing past you, on its trip from Chicago to LA, at 100 mph, with two Santa Fe EMD F7 warbonnets at its point. But with passenger trains in their heyday the Santa Fe railroad needed to focus their attention to freight. Unfortunally, what made for an excellant passenger engine, made for a lousy road switcher. This book chronicles the production model CF7 rebuilds from F7 locomotives at the Cleburne, Texas shops. If you ever wondered how they turned those engines inside out, this books for you. The collection of B&W and Color photography of this locomotive, along with the different color schemes that have adorned the outside of the engines, as they were passed on to different shortline companies is superb. Any who are fans of this locomotive should have this in their libary.
