PRR F7

The PRR acquired hundreds of EMD F-units beginning in July of 1947. Complicating matters for railfans and modelers alike are the many "phases" of units that the railroad purchased. This document intends to point out the spotting features across the various models and phases.

There were 1807 F3/F5 units built, of which the PRR purchased 146 (8%). There were 3849 F7 units built, of which the PRR purchased 164 (4%). There were 372 FP7 units built, of which the PRR purchased 54 (15%).

The PRR did not purchase any of the earlier FT's or F2's, nor the later F9's, FP9's, or FL9's.
