Notes : Built by GMD as TH&B GP7 #76 (1953), acquired by CP, rebuilt with a 1,750 Hp. 16-567C engine block, chop-nosed and renumbered to #1686 (1988). Unit has no dynamic brakes. Equipped with CANAC remote control 'beltpack' equipment. Retired (5/17/2012). Scrapped at Moose Jaw, SK.

* : Originally built as a GP7, this unit received a 1,750 Hp.16-567C engine replacing the original 1,500 Hp. 16-567B engine when overhauled and renumbered to #1686, technically making it a GP9u unit. CP retains the GP7u designation for the ex-TH&B units numbered in the #1682-1687 group.
