Notes:
- The ACR was absorbed by the Wisconsin Central RR in January 1995; all locomotives were immediately
renumbered. Repainting happened later. All of the remaining GP7 units had the short hoods lowered by WC.
- The F-units were all retired and sold by CN shortly after the CN takeover of ACR parent Wisconsin Central.
