In 1976, the first FP9As were repainted in the new colours of VIA-CN. Locomotives painted in 1976 and early 1977 received the CN on the nose, and locomotives painted between 1977 and 1981 were given a VIA on the nose. The angled yellow nose was changed to a straight yellow nose in mid-1977, but could still be seen on locomotives as late as 1982. There are at least seven variations of the early VIA paint scheme. Unfortunately Rapido Trains can not do them all right now. The locomotive numbers Rapido has chosen were two of the longest to carry the CN logo.

It took until late 1981 or early 1982 to repaint all of the locomotives, so while locomotives were waiting to be repainted they had their CN noodle removed from the nose and a VIA logo added beside the unit number on the sides. 6535 was never repainted into VIA colours.

A yellow background indicates a recent entry.
