When the C&SL was formed the first road power purchased was a former Rock Island EMD GP7. In the later days of the Rock Island money was tight to non existent so the line sold a number of GP7's to PNC for rebuild with the understanding that they would lease them back. It was likely one of these that Bud bought Here are links to 2 pictures of Rock Island/PNC GP7's.
Later when more power was needed a wornout Burlington GP7 was purchased. Here is a picture of a GP7 in Burlington livery.
Since a lot of the action in Snowplow Extra takes place in the cab of a GP7 here are some pictures in the cab.
