20 New York Central F7sPaul K. Withers
Like many American railroads, New York Central found the 1,500-horsepower cab-unit road diesel to be ideally suited to power its freight trains, and between 1947 and 1952, acquired a fleet of 339 EMD-built F units, 293 of which were F7-model units.
43 Lehigh & New England - Dieselizing with AlcosPaul K. Withers
On November 27, 1949, the final run of an L&NE steam locomotive took place - in December of that year, the northeastern-based carrier proudly proclaimed that it was 100 percent dieselized. This was notable not only because of the short time frame in which the railroad was dieselized, but also for the fact that the diesel fleet, less one unit, was purchased from one builder.
