Many F7s remained in service for decades as railroads found them economical to operate and maintain. The Santa Fe railroad operated an extensive amount of EMD F7 diesel locomotives many painted in the famous ÒWarbonnetÓ livery made famous by the Santa Fe's passenger service. The Athearn F7 itself also has a lush history. The first plastic one-piece body locomotive in the Athearn catalog for the time in the 1950s. The Athearn F7 has been the train set locomotive of choice for over a generation of model railroaders. Share the experience of model railroading and the gift of memories of the streamliner era!
