With a fleet of over 450 EMD F7âs Santa Fe had one of the largest fleets of this iconic EMD locomotive. Beginning in 1959 the railroad began modernizing these units with several federally mandated appliances which changed their appearance. The company also began installing inertial air filters in order to improve their reliability. This release of our Genesis F-series Santa Fe freight service F-7âs depicts them in their 1960âs to early 1970âs appearance. While they served system wide for many years as the sixties progressed, they were found most often in Texas and on the eastern lines of the railroad.
