Former T&P Units
Description:
All of the units in this image - taken on the east side of the MP engine house at Avondale Yard - were built for the Texas & Pacific, Here are at least three of the T&P's eight SW8's, along with a pair of F7A's MP 8000-8007 were built as Texas & Pacific 811-818 in January 1952, for use as light road switchers. Notice that the 8002 still has is original oscillating headlight assembly, while this has been removed from the 8003. F7A's 857 and 908 are former T&P 1558 and 1507, and SW8 8000 is parked behind the 8002. (approximate month and day)

Title:
MP F7A 857
Description:
Missouri Pacific F7A 857 found itself surrounded by SW8's outside the diesel shop at Avondale Yard. All of the locomotives had been built for the T&P and were in familiar territory. The 857 was briefly renumbered 1857 to make way for a new GP38-2, and it was retired in April 1973. The switchers lasted until 1979-1981, when they were remanufactured into slugs. (approximate date)
