    Here are four more pictures from my "Enid" negative collection.

    These are SLSF GP7s in the Mandarin orange and white paint scheme.

    SLSF 501, EMD GP7, 1500 HP, delivered 2/19/1950
    SLSF 515, EMD GP7, 1500 HP, delivered 7/5/1950
    SLSF 526, EMD GP7, 1500 HP, delivered 11/10/1950
    SLSF 611, EMD GP7, 1500 HP, delivered 1/17/1952

    Note that SLSF 501 carries a Nathan horn, not the Frisco favorite Leslie.

    SLSF 611 still has its steam generator in service. Note the boiler exhaust stack on the short hood and the steam line connection pipe on the front face of the locomotive pilot.

    Attached are six additional Frisco GP7 pictures that are in my "Enid" negative collection.

    There are several more, but they are very poor pictures so I am not going to post them.

    These six are not all that great!

    Notice the SLSF GP7s that have been repainted into the Mandarin orange and white livery also have their Leslie horns oriented into the all horns facing forward setup.

    The black and yellow units have the three forward/two to the rear setup.

    Was this a universal change?

    SLSF 518 has ex-ATSF caboose SLSF 1133 in tow. These cabooses looked good on the Santa Fe, even better in their second life on the Frisco.

    The SLSF 526 shot is a good profile roster shot of a late-in-life Frisco GP7.
