Title:  WATX 5
Description:  The "internets" says this CF7 was built in Feb 1974 and rolled out with the rounded cab. The 'net also says this unit is now owned by ISCX but here this former F7 waits for the workday to begin at the Pilgrims Pride plant in Pittsburg. Note the comressor(?) on the flat roof and chrome horn.
