Oh,

do you know why or did CN just decide to switch her #?

[amtrakf40]

I just learned that 911 was 89's AS BUILT number. She was renumbered a few years later.

[KZ1993]

ok

that makes sense

I knew about 7312 when she was still 31.

I just thought 89 was 911 and I wanted to know where that came from, but that cleared it all up.

Thanks

89 is 89. She was renumbered 911 to represent another CN 2-6-0 during this photo charter. 7312 is 31's CN number, she was renumbered 7312 again a couple years back.
