GMD Recollections - The Class of '52.

Still looking good at almost 48 years of age, AMT 1302 has pride of place in front of the GMD plant on August 12, 2000.
By Peter Mumby.

CP was somewhat unusual in that it owned no F7A locomotives, preferring the flexibility of owning a fleet of steam generator-equipped "dual service" FP7A units.  Built in October of 1952, CP 4072 hauled passenger and freight trains until it was sold in 1982 to the Montreal commuter agency and repainted in shades of blue  and silver.

The display for General Motors Diesel's 50th anniversary featured a variety of its products from years past.  Representing the class of '52 was FP7A 1302, belonging to the Agence Metropolitaine de Tansport (AMT).
