Much rarer than an F7B; this is an FTB, and I think, one quarter of EMD's #103 A-B-B-A demonstrator set, which I believe ended up as the Southern's only set of FT's. Unless I'm wrong, you've caught one of the first four F-units ever built. Very nice.

Southern Railway had 38 FTA's and 30 FTB's on the motive roster. This FTB unit was converted to a steam generator after it's use as motive power. It is reflecting it's 'rolling stock' road number in this photo.
