Thanks to the Fort Wayne Historical Society for F7 Parts

 

Special thanks to the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, for their donation of a F7 start station and some relays we needed to keep 4268 and 4266 operational. The start station has allowed us to reconnect the factory air operated fuel gauges as well as correct an issue with our isolation switch on 4268. When multiple groups work together we can all help each other preserve history for years to come! Check out the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society Facebook page to see some of their accomplishments and latest projects!
