RE: [CBQ] Locomotive quiz...

The X1787 in 1955's number boards just means it was operated as a helper engine 
(Cajon?) placed ahead of the road power for the train, which was SP 1787, and 
thus it was identified with the train's designation.  The numbers were easily 
changed, and the 1955 will get its own number back -- or the number of another 
engine it is helping -- before its next run.

    Ahhh...but the number board on 2932 is the same as it's Q #. 
    Can't see what 1907's board says.

    

    Cheers!

            Jan,
            

            
            That is the train number not the locomotive number.
            

            
            The "X" stands for an extra.

                  LOL...good one,
                    Ken...I was hoping it would stump some people a
                    little longer than that!

                    

                    The other thing I found interesting was that 1955
                    has a different number on the number board than it's
                    Q number...presumably because it duplicates an SP
                    engine?
