There's gold in them thar F7s!
Title:  There's gold in them thar F7s!
Description:  Or at least gold enough for PC to keep running. Penn Central bought several Fs from Rio Grande to trade in towards new GP38s, but these four were the pick of the litter and would go on to serve PC and Conrail. Here's all four in a classic A-B-B-A lashup. Larry White photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.
