This picture was taken by me in the Fall of 1970, I believe. I was the head brakeman on the return trip to St. Joe, Mo, and my conductor was just getting ready to get down to help switch the elevators at Percival, Iowa. It’s sad to see this engine being scrapped, almost like losing a friend.

CB&Q F7A 168A made it to merger day, but did the BN ever operate it? The 1971 Motive Power Annual seems to say so, there’s a photo of it coupled to other power a couple months after the merger but I’m not sure if this was for a train or if it was just being shuffled around in storage. The fact that it was traded in to EMD a few months later without being renumbered seems to indicate that it’s operational days on the BN were few if any.

Thank you kindly,
