CF7 to F7?
Author: ATSF Diesel Fan

I saw that there is a CF7 for sale on Ozark Mountain Railcar and a nutty idea crossed my mind. What would it take to restore a CF7 back to an F7? I know it's totally unrealistic but it's fun to think about. The only way I think that it could be done is to buy a F7 and swap parts. If that's the case then in the end are you restoring the Santa Fe F7 or are you just restoring the donor F7 with Santa Fe paint on it? How many parts would need to be swapped to call it a Santa Fe unit?

Other than the F7 A and B that's at the California State Railroad museum were there any other Santa Fe F7's saved or were they all turned into CF7's?
