Last week I had a chance to run the F7 in freight service. We usually use just the SW1200, but had no way to run around the load coming in. So we used two locos (for one car in, one out), just gave me a chance to say I ran the F unit in freight. A few pictures:

Walled Lake, MI The unit is former BLE #725, but the former owner of the short line liked the EL, so had it painted like this. Usually used on the dinner trains, which run a couple times a week, usually on weekends.

Naw, not when the railroad is only 10 miles of Class I track, all under Rule 93 Yard Limits. Easy to get an exemption.
