EMD F7 A-B Set
(ESU Sound and DCC)

VIA Rail  Nos. 1402, 1961

Limited Edition!

With the arrival of the F7 in 1949, EMD had exactly what railroads needed to begin dieselizing with a vengeance.

Geared for freight or passenger service, they were equally at home in either assignment.

Over the next four years EMD built over 2200 A and 1400 B units, delivered in a rainbow of schemes for nearly every railroad in North America.

Tough and durable, many soldiered on into the early 70s and several are preserved.
