Thanks to George Elwood's album (see https://www.rr-fallenflags.org/cbq/cbq.html), you can also add these to your list of first generation EMD hood units repainted to red: GP7 215, SD7s 305 and 310, SD9s 337, 360, 370, 372, 373 and 434.

Appreciate all the replies.  I have learned that all diesels purchased starting with the GP20's were redbird so that answered Question 1 and question 3 was also resolved.  

 

I also asked: Is there a record of the GP and SD road numbers repainted in Chinese Red if so where?  or anybody have a list?

 

I couldn't find any of the above, but found enough as listed below:

 

Thanks to Chuck Zeiler's amazing albums on Flickr I have found the following confirmed Redbird images for GP7's 204,206,208,210,211,225,226,233,234,237,238,242,243,248,251,and 256.

 

Also for SD7's in Redbird 300,312,313,316,320,and409.     SD9 327.

 

The above suits me for my modeling purposes so  I am good.

 

Again thanks  Bill
