CP FP7 4030 trails Penn Central GP38-2's 8077 and 8061 in a mixed power lashup, moving around the east end of CP's Toronto Yard (aka Agincourt Yard). The train is likely the PC-CP "Kinnear" (BUCP / CPBU) or possibly the CP-TH&B "Starlight" (PC power sometimes appears on it). By this time, the PC Geeps were owned by newly formed Conrail (created two months earlier on April 1st 1976), but not yet patched or repainted.CP 4030 was part of the first order of locomotives placed with GMD for their new locomotive assembly plant in London, Ontario (CP FP7's 4028-4037, built 1950) and the oldest CP F-unit at this point, surviving trade-ins and wrecks that took out older sisters 4028 and 4029. She continued to run until the majority of CP's remaining F-units were retired from freight service in 1982.Bill McArthur photo, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide.

She continued to run until the majority of CP's remaining F-units were retired from freight service in 1982. The 4028-4037 order was unique on CP as it was the only group that featured square-corner winterization hatches, a feature also found on Wabash's Canadian-built F-units.
