What is the true count of GP7 production. I have added the verified original owners list several times and get the figure 2729 GP7s plus 5 GP7Bs = 2734. There is also the mention of two export GP7s on Larry Russell's GM Export page. I am trying to find out if these were new or used units. --SSW9389 (talk) 16:52, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I heard from A J Kristopans that the two export GP7s on Larry Russell's GM Export page going to Cuba and Russia were used U S Army locomotives and not new units. --SSW9389 (talk) 19:50, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Here is my explanation of why the production count does not match DSGII: There are five GP7s on A J Kristopan's EMD Serial number page that reused previous serial numbers: B&O 6405, CRI&P 1308 (2nd), L&N 501 (2nd) and 502 (2nd), and SLSF 615 (2nd). The other weird thing is that CN 4824 is carried as a GP7 on A J Kristopans GMDD serial number page and it was built in October 1958! --SSW9389 (talk) 12:00, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
