L&NW FP7A 49
Title:  L&NW FP7A 49
Description:  This sharp-looking FP7 was built in January 1950 as Western Pacific 805A. After 20 years of hauling the CALIFORNIA ZEPHYR between Salt Lake City and Oakland, WP traded it in to GE in August 1972. GE sold it to the Wellsville, Addison & Galeton the next month, but it never received a WAG number. It moved to the Louisiana & North West in 1976 and was photographed early the next year sitting outside the railroad's Gibsland engine house in very fresh L&NW paint. It was sold to the Portola Railroad Museum in July 1986 and restored as WP 805A.

L&NW F7 44
Title:  L&NW F7 44
Description:  Louisiana & North West Railroad F7 44 at Gibsland, Louisiana on December 26, 1977, Kodachrome by Paul L. Strang, Chuck Zeiler collection. The following is from the book, Southern Pacific Diesel Locomotive Compendium, Volume 1, by Joseph A Strapac:

Number 44 was built in July 1952 ( c/n 16560 ) as SP F7 6379 ( SP Class EF415A-8 ), delivered without a plow pilot, receiving a plow pilot by February 1955, retired by the SP June 13, 1968. In 1968-69, the Wellsville Addison & Galeton Railroad in Pennsylvania began purchasing former SP and TN&O F7s from General Electric and Precision Engineering. Most were transferred to the Louisiana & North West Railroad ( an associated Salzberg property in Louisiana ) receiving new numbers there. L&NW 44 and 47 ( SP 6379 and 6309 ) were sold - 5/90 to Excursion Rails, Inc. becoming Texas Special 100 and 200 ( Dinner Train operating between Houston and Galveston ). Stored in 2002 at the Center for Transportation and Commerce in Galveston.

The book indicates that number 44 may have gone to the Golden Gate Railroad Museum ( GGRM ), Hunter's Point, San Francisco. However the GGRM web site indicates that L&NW 46 ( ex-SP 6378 ) and 45 ( ex-SP 6380 ) are in their collection. I cannot find the present location of L&NW 44. Any help appreciated.
