Rev. Jonathan Spurlock	General	Very similar photo is on George Elwood's "Fallen Flags" site, http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/mp/mp0909m27.jpg where the unit, also 909, is called an F-7. No previous history that I could find.	10/7/2017 12:50:17 PM

Jerry LaBoda	General	Note the "TP" to the lower right of the herald... this unit is a Texas & Pacific EMD F7A... will try to dig up more on it...	10/8/2017 4:58:30 PM

Jerry LaBoda	General	Found a roster... http://www.texaspacificrailway.org/diesel... T&P 909 EMD F7A built 1951 ex-T&P 1559... http://www.texaspacificrailway.org/diesel/f7-a/1559	10/8/2017 5:01:08 PM

MP F7A #909 - Missouri Pacific
Nice color slide by an unknown photographer of Missouri Pacific #909. The slide had been mislabeled as an F9 unit making it impossible to find on any roster. With Jerry LaBoda's help (see comment below), it has now been identified as an F7A unit, nee-TP #1559 built by EMD in 1949 but in this shot wearing the new roster color of Missouri Pacific. Much thanks to Jerry for tracking this one down!
