Jay Calnan	General	I do believe that the #4022 is a F7A (I could be wrong though)	7/11/2016 7:57:41 PM

Alan Page	General	Thanks, Jay for your comment! What we know from Conrail's startup, F7A's (active) were numbered in series 1639-1894. Early year Conrail F7A photographs show former PC 1648 renumbered 1792 in CR blue. This was the only F7 to be repainted. However, 4022 was the former EL E-8A 833.	7/12/2016 4:12:16 PM
