The first railroad I went to work for had more than a dozen of these after they had been thru Cleburne. They were called CF-7s and they sounded, acted and felt like a F7. They kinda looked like a U18-B though with the short, squatty nose and long engine hood.

@@UnionCountyPhotography the Cleburne shops of the Santa Fe pulled off a literal miracle when they engineered the CF7. The EMD F unit was a monocoque design-the body of the locomotive was the structure. Cleburne had to engineer from scratch a GP-like frame, and attached spare EMD hood unit parts to the back. The ATSF Ry approached EMD about making new locomotives from traded in F7 components (generator, prime mover, trucks, traction motors) but EMD turned them down flat. It was the success of two projects-Santa Fe's CF7's and Illinois Central GP10's, that convinced EMD to get into the rebuilding game. EMD's first rebuilt product was the GP15T.

@@IndustrialParrot2816 in the early 1970's, the Santa Fe had a shortage of power suitable for branchlines and secondary trains. They had a plethora of F units, however by this time management considered cowl body locomotives unsuitable for anything other than passenger trains and through freight trains. In the past, EMD had rebuilt really old, obsolete E units (like any E unit that had a model lower than E7) into more modern power for the railroad (the E8M). Management thought that they could convince EMD to do the same, converting traded F units into new hood units, reusing the major components. However, EMD wasn't keen at all on that idea. So when EMD said no, Santa Fe turned to their talented major repair shops, and got their money's worth out of their substantial F7 fleet, both passenger and freight. Santa Fe didn't need the higher horsepower ratings of units like the GP38 on the trains that they intended those units for. They also used them to replace switchers in yards, and that is why the Santa Fe never ordered third generation switch engines like SW1500's or MP15's from EMD.

I could work there be happy.

Wow

*I saw a line up of these or maybe F-9s at Union Station Los Angeles in the 1970s as a teen. Bunch of A & B Units ( A B A sets? ). One A Unit had the skull and fur of a Rabbit smashed on its cow catcher. I think crews left it as some type of morbid souvenir! LOL When the pneumatics went off on these things, it sounded like a shot gun! Guess this one was not pressured up enough yet?*

Yeah, I'm sure they have to run a few minutes to build up pressure. Plus, they don't want to startle anyone.
