The Canadian Trackside Guide lists 1547 as being capable
of 65 mph. Also, I've come across a closeup cab shot of 1578
in the current lettering with DRS-17 class designation. I'd
post a link but don't who the photographer is nor where I
got it.
And thanks Paul for your comments, while the caption on 1602
claims they are spark arrestors but the devices appear far
more complex.

I had heard that a couple of the 1500s had their transition reactivated
something like 10 or more years ago, in southern Ontario. They did not get
renumbered. This is not certain, but I believe it is probably authentic.
