ATSF Blue F7A No. 275

Description
(A re-make of one of the default F7A liveries, one that I've been meaning to re-do for a long time).

F7A No. 275 was built by EMD in November 1953 for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. She ran in service with the ATSF until 1978, when she was rebuilt as a CF7 in Cleburne, Texas. This was the last CF7 rebuild ever carried out.

The CF7 is a rebuilt of the F7A, which retains the original frame and internal components but has had the full-width body replaced with a more-conventional narrow hood body. This allows for much better visibility while the locomotive is carrying out switching jobs.

Amazingly the rebuilt 275 - now CF7 No. 1500 - is still in service today. She now part of the fleet on the York Railway, a short line in Pennsylvania.
