WP F7A #918 - Weestern Pacific
Title:  WP F7A #918 - Weestern Pacific
Description:  The "official birthdate' of Western Paciific was 1/27/1950 when EMD completed the loco. The loco was renumbered just WP 918 with the "A" dropped as the letters in the original F7A numbering were not compatible with the new computerized WP records. Unfortunately, this loco suffered a damaging electrical fire in March of 1981 that retired it. It was brought back to life and moved to its new home at the Niles Canyon RR Museum. It became operational in 2005. Reuben S. Brouse slide
