methinks it might be 4507 as those C-630s came in maroon and gray and
4507 was delivered Oct. 10/68 (Dean and Hanna) while 5564 was delivered
April 28/67.(also from Dean & Hanna)
Why does one always assume Alcos must be "old". Of course there are/were many Alcos delivered after the original SD40's because of CP's dissatisfaction with them. If that date is correct, then 4507 would be last because the 5500's were 1966 or 1967.
Might it also be possible that 4507 was delivered after the CP Rail red was introduced on 4239/4242 ??

I had the delivery date wrong for 4507. It was Oct. 1, 1968. CP unveiled
their "symbol train" in Montreal on Oct. 3/68. C424s 4239 and 4242 were
probably painted a couple of days before so it is probable that 4507 and
the two multi-mark locomotives were done about the same time. The
original plan was to paint the locomotives solid black with the
multi-mark on rear.
