| This CF7 was parked on the Louisiana & Delta near the railroad’s shop in New Iberia, Louisiana. It was originally Santa Fe F7A 264L, built in August 1951, and the ATSF rebuilt it into CF7 2521 in May 1974. It was traded-in to GE in December 1984 and went to the Blue Mountain & Reading in March 1985, became Allegheny Railroad (ALY) 104 and then Allegheny & Eastern 304 before moving to the Louisiana & Delta in July 1993. It operated on the L&D as ALY 304 for a while before being renumbered 1506, and was scrapped at New Iberia in October 2010. |
