Comments on: ONR FP7A #1501 departs Toronto Union Station shortly after 12pm on a July afternoon in 1996 with the daily “Northlander”. There are very few pictures of the 1501 in “Northlander” paint, as this unit spent most of its life in this livery hauling European ex-TEE cars as #1986. After the TEE sets were retired and replaced by ex-GO Transit single level cars, three other non-Northlander FP7As were rebuilt to FP7Acat specs. The 1986 was renumbered to her original 1501 and placed back in Northlander service without the Caterpillar “upgrades”. Slide is from my personal collection; the original photographer is unknown.
