I have a few before and after photos of Newfoundland cars that are still operating - now on the White Pass & Yukon. There is a photo of CN Side Dump Car #15004 at St. Johns in 1988 and a photo of it as WP&YR #656, immediately behind WP&YR #657 at Skagway in 1990.
There is also a photo of CN Multi-service cars ("logitudial hoppers") ##6763, 6786, and 6794 at Woodfords in 1987. There is also a photo of #6786 as WP&YR #643 at Carcross in 2014. Finally, there is a photo of #6794 as WP&YR #640 at Shops in 2014. In the photo, the #640 has been re-built after having been wrecked.
