Beginning on January 31 and continuing until February 7, 1950, EMD delivered F7 locomotive sets 913 through 921. These were delivered at a cost to the railroad of $653,408 per set. Ordered and delivered in A-B-B-A sets, B-suffix units came equipped with steam generators and were the only unit in the set so equipped. ‘A’ suffix units had a 700-gallon water tank, ‘B’ suffix units had a 1200-gallon water tank, and ‘C’ suffix units had two tanks of 500 and 1200 gallons each. ‘D’ suffix units carried no extra water capacity. The water from the ‘A’ and ‘C’ suffix units was trained to the ‘B’ suffix unit. Numbers 922 through 924 were ordered in November 1950 with delivery taking place in June 1951. By this time the price had risen to $675,533.00 for an A-B-B-A set. EMD had also changed the design somewhat with all doors now having rounded corners. Gearing on all units was the same as the FTs at 62:15. Unfortunately the F7s were not electrically compatible with the earlier FTs so never ran in multiple with them. Electrical connections and dimmer controls, as requested, were supplied on the rear of all units for backup lights to be installed by the railroad. Only the B units ever received them with the lights coming from retired steam locomotives.

Leszek Gaczkowski was born and live's in Silesia, Poland. He received a technical education even though from an early age he exhibited a strong interest in music and arts. He also plays guitars. However he gave up his passion to pursue a different path, and now he's returning to it. He believes that painting or any other form of art is an illustration of his ideas. It expresses his feelings, his natural abilities, and the effort often associated with the joy of creating. His artworks including paintings are owned not only by his natural abilities, for which he is hugely grateful but are also the effect of self-study self-improvement, and most of all hard work! His favorite techniques are pastels, oil paints, and watercolors, but he does not stray from charcoal, sepia, and sanguine as well. Pastels are very delicate tools perfect express elusive details such as facial expressions which have lately become one of his favorite pursuits. He focused on capturing feelings and emotions producing his own original style. Among his artworks, we can find both iconic, well-known faces of those known to everyone and those who belong to anonymous people he has met on his way and who have inspired him. Although he has devoted himself to the art of portraits he has never limited himself to this branch area. As a versatile artist, he was always looking for new challenges and inspirations. That let him discover his great passion to paint landscapes and made him very adept in hard and demanding but careful watercolor techniques. Within his own unique style, many of his artworks tie to those of great impressionists he creates his own, paintings but also reinterprets already existing paintings. He displays his artwork in the best-known art galleries which are associated with many artists in Poland. Some of his paintings are also on procurement. They are now decorated, in houses of private collectors in countries such as England, France, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Taiwan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Bahrain, and Poland. This passion for active paintings dates back to 2010. He is very open to suggestions and inspiration and shares his experiences with others willingly.
