Caption: Bellequip GP7 110 and GP9 130 sit dodging the shadows by the diesel shop turntable inside Canadian Pacific's Toronto (Agincourt) Yard. At the time, both units were part of a large group of former Quebec, North Shore & Labrador (QNS&L) GP7/GP9 units that were leased by CP in the early-mid 1970's, initially through a group called "Bellequip" (apparently run by some CP management types on the side). They later sold their lease fleet to Us-based Precision National Corp (with all units later relettered PNC by CP). By the mid-1970's traffic lull, the old Geeps all came off-lease, and most ended up purchased by the Chicago & North Western.

Apparently QNS&L embarked on a rebuild/upgrade program for their GP7's at one time, so 110 is now a GP9 equivalent (larger main generator retrofit? note the extra louvres/vents on the hood doors. Information on this program is hard to find).
