    CP 414501 is unique for a very peculiar reason.
    It was built as a steam powered wrecker in 1946 and serial numbered 11729 .
    That same year, a 250-ton crane was also constructed for the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, and it received serial number 11729 .
    This crane, last numbered CSXT 985250 was in private ownership as recent as 2012. >br>
    (information gathered from American & Ohio Locomotive Crane archive files during my tenure with the company).
