Hoosier rail fan Dick Berry took the photos of Conrail F7A's while they were working in Warsaw, IN. I have both the original negatives and photos of these locos in action in my rr collection now.
EMD built this F7A unit in 1951 originally as NYC #1714 (serial #15325) > PC 1714 > CR 1714. Hoosier rail fan Dick Berry took the b&w negative that was used to make this photo. Both the print and the negative are now in my rr collection.

EMD built Conrail F7A #1756 originally as New York Central F7A #1756 (serial #15367) in May of 1952. The loco then bounced through the Penn Central roster and on to the Conrail roster with the same number throughout. Hoosier rail fan Dick Berry took the b&w negative that was used to make this photo. Both the print and the negative are now in my rr collection.
