Notes
The 2500 was built in 1949 as FP7 demonstrator 7001. It was painted for and demonstrated on the Canadian Pacific in Canadian Pacific Maroon and Grey colors. Eventually bought by the Soo-leased Wisconsin Central. The 500A was also a demonstrator, one of three (9051-53) that tested on Canadian National and were shortly after sold to the old Soo Line as 500A, 500B, and 501A.
