Historical Perspective
Cars fromt he CNWX 112000-112026 & CNWX 112500-112645 series (total of 173) were transferred from the series CPWX 600000-601073 (not sure which ones) in 1990, the only time cars were moved between CP & CN. Often the car number has obviously fairly crudely been painted over. http://www.trainscan.com/data/gc/cxwx.html#NOTE4
