Railfanning during the early days of Conrail saw a number of old locomotive models still slaving away in service.  Though at one time the Penn Central and Erie Lackawanna rosted a large number of F7As, by the time Conrail was formed only a hodge-podge of units survived.  Being old and worn out, most F7As found themselves retired and cut up quickly.  The EMD F7 was a 1,500 horsepower (1,100 kW) Diesel-electric locomotive produced between February 1949 and December 1953 by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors (EMD) and General Motors Diesel (GMD).  A total of 2,366 cab-equipped A-units and 1,483 cabless booster or B-units were built.
