Need Some Info. About Santa Fe Emd F7

Why does it mention San Bernardino, here on its side?
Any ideas ?!

 

Seems like DTG based this F7 off 347C, which is currently preserved at the CSRM in Sacramento.

And that loco has had that marking since the 1980's


HOWEVER, the ATSF F7s in service never had any marking like that.


Though 347C, when it was numbered 306C, had Barstow written on the side

 

So we get pure white headlights again?
And a freight coupler on a passenger engine which in all above photographs has a type F "tightlock" coupler on the front pilot?

 

They did say they based it on the preserved example so makes sense its got that marking

 

Thanks...
In my country, locomotives have the name of a city from which their maintenance and overhauling are taken care of. Such cities have a 'Locomotive Shed'.



My intuition was that a similar thing is there for F7. However, couldn't find a shed/depot for the same at San Bernardino

 

Does this help?

Could it be this?

 

It's a passenger rail terminal. What I mean is a place where you repair trains.

 

Don't know when we'll get Indian routes.

 

To be frankly honest, I don't think that's even on the table.
Just picture the scene where Matt & JD explain TSW to the Railway board for getting the license and permission XD

 

Yeah can't argue about that. Literally never I guess

 

Going thru some more research, ATSF 347C, was restored by the Santa Fe Railroad in the 1980's for the California State Railroad Museum. It was given a cosmetic restoration at the ATSF San Bernardino shops, hence why San Bernardino is stenciled on the side.

 

Just needs some dirt tastefully applied.
Looks in game as if it's fresh out of it's box.

 

It's meant to be a restored locomotive.
