I sent a query to a Canadian Railfan and he was able to come back with this
about The Round Up.
Per "Lepkey & West", she became CN 4 (second), seemingly in 1970, became CN 95
(fourth) in Oct 1975, became CN 15111 (third) in Mar 1979, was retired in Sep
1983; sold to Bombardier in Jan 1984, sold to Private Rail Co. in Toronto (Ron
Salisbury) and renamed PRLX 1915 - Northern Lights in 1986. Sold to Classic
Rail Cars, Fairlawn, NJ, in 1994 (per "Private Varnish"). "Branchline" has it
sold to a private owner in Pennsylvania in 1994.
The trail ends with Classic Rail Cars, who do have a mention of Northern Lights
in this picture. http://classicrail.com/images/lights.JPEG ; Classic Rail Cars
have not updated their website since 1999, so who knows what the current status
is. I'm trying to contact the person listed on the site to try and find out
more info. The note that the car went to the Northern Central Railway was
partially true. It was owened by Classic Rail Cars and ran on the Northern
Central, which has since gone out of business. I can find no listing of the
Northern Lights in the AARPCO listings and do not have access to the RPCA
listing, so don't know if it possibly shows up on there.

I received a message from Chuck thanking everyone for their input and
confirming that he had already obtained a copy of the ICC
report from Jim Christen, so he has evidently already made contact with him..
I've told him that the trail of The Round Up is a bit cold but it may still be
traced.
