Welcome to the first episode of History of American Trains! This episode we are taking a look at the very popular EMD F-7 which started the diesel era for Railroads. Join me next time when I discuss the GG1!

This video was made in 2020, the quality of it does not reflect my current standards. However, as it is the first episode, It would be wrong to not post it.
