Comments on: CN 414691 is tucked inside one of the training bays at CN’s Campus in Transcona, MB waiting for the next generation of new employee’s to begin their railroad careers, and seasoned employees to receive refresher courses. This state-of-the-art facility houses training facilities covering all aspects of railroading with both classroom and hands-on work shops.

That number caught my eye when I first walked into the CN training center. 414xxx is the number series CP uses for their locomotive cranes and wrecking cranes.

Very cool.

Interesting that they don’t seem to renumber these cars into a work series number.
