It looks to me like it is a CF7, but it looks like the wheelbase is shorter. It would be an interesting build! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CF7-Andrew |

Yeah, that's what I thought at first glance, "it's a CF7".
But it's not. Look at the frame - it's shorter and the loco runs on AAR switcher trucks. It looks like a mish-mash of a switcher frame and innards with a shortened EMD 35-line nose, a 35-line cab and long hood, doors off an Alco, F7-style 36" rad fans, and a jerry can of a fuel tank.

I really like it. To me it looks like that they used a GP7 / 9 hood and subbase, then a second generation cab and nose and put it on a switcher underframe, like CN's "Sweeps".

Looks like someone forgot to give the "that'll do" before they got to the solid block wall!

 Thanks for looking. It looks like it is set-up for remote operation judging by the lights on the cab roof. Hi all, I just found it at rrpictures, and they say it's a NORX se-1 republic locomotive RL1500 the #board's say SE-1 NORX is Northern Indiana public service company Karl
