Oooooooo. So in 1908(?) the CPR absorbed the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway on Vancouver Island. In the ‘70’s CP painted a number of double door box cars with E&N reporting marks…. Presumably to encourage their return to Vancouver Island is what I’ve read.
I know they aren’t of the patched reporting mark variety but they fit the family theme.
The majority were 40ft double sliding doors numbered 292000-292399
And then a small series of 40ft combination door box cars. 292500-297570
