L&NW F7 44
Title:  L&NW F7 44
Description:  Louisiana & North West Railroad F7 44 at Gibsland, Louisiana on December 26, 1977, Kodachrome by Paul L. Strang, Chuck Zeiler collection. The following is from the book, Southern Pacific Diesel Locomotive Compendium, Volume 1, by Joseph A Strapac:

Number 44 was built in July 1952 ( c/n 16560 ) as SP F7 6379 ( SP Class EF415A-8 ), delivered without a plow pilot, receiving a plow pilot by February 1955, retired by the SP June 13, 1968. In 1968-69, the Wellsville Addison & Galeton Railroad in Pennsylvania began purchasing former SP and TN&O F7s from General Electric and Precision Engineering. Most were transferred to the Louisiana & North West Railroad ( an associated Salzberg property in Louisiana ) receiving new numbers there. L&NW 44 and 47 ( SP 6379 and 6309 ) were sold - 5/90 to Excursion Rails, Inc. becoming Texas Special 100 and 200 ( Dinner Train operating between Houston and Galveston ). Stored in 2002 at the Center for Transportation and Commerce in Galveston.

The book indicates that number 44 may have gone to the Golden Gate Railroad Museum ( GGRM ), Hunter's Point, San Francisco. However the GGRM web site indicates that L&NW 46 ( ex-SP 6378 ) and 45 ( ex-SP 6380 ) are in their collection. I cannot find the present location of L&NW 44. Any help appreciated.

L&NW F7A 47
Title:  L&NW F7A 47
Description:  This F7A was built in November 1949 as Southern Pacific 6309. The Espee retired it in July 1969 and traded-in to General Electric the next month. GE quickly sold it to Wellsville Addison & Galeton in 1969; but it was never used by the WA&G. It was transferred to the Louisiana & North West in 1971 where it was renumbered 47. It was purchased by Entertainment Trains Inc. in May 1990 and renumbered 200 for excursion service between Houston and Galveston. After that operation ended, the locomotive was stored at the Galveston Railroad Museum. It was photographed outside the engine house at Gibsland, in the midst of its career on the L&NW.
