Louisiana & North West F7A #45, Circa 1972

Electro-Motive Division F7A #45 (former SP unit #6380) of the L&NW as it appeared circa 1972.  Before making its way to Louisiana, this unit was purchased for the Wellsville Addison & Galeton and ran as #2000.  The crooked lettering on the herald appears to have been the result of the paint shop hurriedly replacing the "WAG" with "L&NW" so they could get it into service.  It looks that way on every picture I can find of #45 from that era.  The other odd feature is the headlight.  I assume the original oscillating light broke and they just welded in a make-shift mount for a bulb.

All 11oz and 15oz ceramic mugs are microwavable and dishwasher safe.  While they are very durable, they can be scratched by hard metal edges.  Avoid putting them next to silverware in the dishwasher.
