9 of C&NW GP7Rs Built as CRI&P GP7s
Author: MartyBernard

The Northwestern bought many GP7s from the used Geep market.  These in this post all are from the Rock Island.  The Rock Island had upgraded them to GP7Rs and renumbered them to the 45xx sreies.  The C&NW painted them.

All of these former RI Geeps had been rebuilt and renumbered into 45xx series by or for the RI.
CNW did not rebuild them but just repainted them.
