    What's the quick history of the lead unit of the Royal Canadian Pacific? The F7A doesn't look as though it had a CPR background.

    Thanks

    It was the bell that through me off. The pictures I have show it with that boxy winterization hatch and ice brakers.

    But is was a "real" CPR engine. That's nice.
