Back on topic, from the photos I've been looking at, it appears that the ATSF F7 347C at the CA Musuem is accurate in everything but its road number. Renumber it to it's prior 306C number and it accurate for its service days on the ATSF.

Well, I guess the cause of inaccuracy would ultimately have to be taken up with BNSF. After all, the 347C was given its red warbonnet by the Santa Fe's San Bernardino shops in 1988 for a promotional video regarding the reintroduction of the classic red warbonnet scheme on their locomotives.

So in this respect, the 347C is accurate for the last service it performed for the Santa Fe, even though inoperable and the promotional train was being pushed from behind.

If it wasn't for that video, the F's might have gone to CF7-land or the scrap heap.
