Rock Island CF-7 488 (2) - a photo on Flickriver

            Locomotive 488 began life as a classic streamlined EMD F-7 locomotive with the Santa Fe Railroad and was later rebuilt into its current configuration as a CF-7 road switcher as part of Santa Fe's infamous rebuild program in the 1970s. 

After being sold off by Santa Fe, it went to the Keokuk Junction Railway where it received the iconic orange paint that it still wears today. Sometime in the 1990s, it was relocated to North Mississippi to run on Pioneer Railcorp's "Mississippi Central Railroad", where it spent a few decades running between Grand Junction, TN and Oxford, MS.

In 2023, it was purchased by the newly reformed Rock Island Railroad and transported roughly 100 miles away to their "Mississippi Delta Railroad" operation, where it was delivered on June 6, 2023.
