I have got two more possible candidates (they served at the freelance line too).
![[Image: file-13.jpg]](http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae149/faraway52/Misc-2/file-13.jpg)
They belonged to the EL 1405 - 1409 GP7 series and became CR 5925 - 5929.
I did find lots of former EL GP7 still in EL paint scheme and CR patches but none of this very specific series with steam heater and used for passenger service.
The 1407/5927 became rebuild into GP8 with chopped nose and plain CR blue in 1980. A photo of 1406/5906 made in 1980 shows the engine in plain blue too. I could not find photos of the other engines of that series in CR service and none at all with patches.
I would like to know if two of them made it into 198x still in EL paint scheme with CR patches?
