Comments on: Precision National GP7 1506 rests at Canadian Pacific’s Agincourt Yard in Toronto, Ontario on March 2, 1975. The unit was built by EMD for the Florida East Coast Railway in 1952 and still wears FEC’s blue paint.

Did they borrow from CP’s stencil inventory?

They had three of those blue ex-FEC GP7′s on lease for a bit, PNC 1505-1507. They all came in in full FEC paint and lettering, and were relettered by CP.

As a modeler, all those frame stripes look like a giant headache!

GREAT old time shot. PNC had all kinds of different “paints” in their roster back then. I’d not seen a blue one before.
