VIA Rail Canada 1400, 1402-1404, 1416, 1418, 1422-1425, 1432 were GMDD FP7A locomotives. They were built for Canadian Pacific Railway in 1952-53, and were inherited by VIA upon its formation in 1978.
VIA rebuilt four units in the early 1980s to be more compatible with their ex-CN locomotives. These units were renumbered to 6550 and 6553. Room in the fleet numbers was left for additional units; however no further rebuilds were completed.
