Comments on: N&W 3661-3657-3667 sit beside the CN Fort Erie shops on a snow covered winter day. There were several ex-Wabash units that were assigned to the Canadian division. These units could be seen running through Canfield on the CN.

Prior to July 1971, 11 of the London-built F7′s had been retired, and are shown as being trade-ins to EMD (LaGrange IL) for N&W GP40′s. None of those were renumbered from their Wabash 3-digit numbers (600s).
#Pierre could those be the ones you mean ?
After July 1971, the remaining painted and renumbered units such as those in this photo, were slowly retired ( or in the case of 3659 and 3726, wrecked), until the final remaining London-built Wabash F7, 3725, was retired in Sept1979.
The 3671 survives at Mad River & NKP museum, Bellevue OH; and 3725 is at the Monticello IL museum.
