The first "covered wagons" to serve on the "Spirit of Washington" dinner train were these ex-U.S. Steel F7As, #100 and #102.

The small "WCRC" reporting marks on the nose indicate the units' owner, Washington Central RR.

The pair pulled the sleek streamliner for many years out of the train's Renton, Wash. depot before being replaced by a pair of of former MARC F9Hs.

These units, along with F7B #101, were subsequently sold to the Carrizo Gorge Railway in southern California, where they remain today.
