Canadian National Sleepers
Posted by NW_611 on Sunday, March 4, 2007 8:28 AM

Can anyone tell me the sort of arrangement (10-6, etc) of the following Canadian National sleepers:

Eastport

Iroquois

Riverdale

1142

2133 

 2044

I have limited information that suggests that Eastport is a 4-8-4, but I'm not entirely sure in what sequence those numbers ought to be. Any help's appreciated!

Oh, that's fantastic data. Don't need anything else; I appreciate y'all's remarks. Had a few cars that needed a better description than "sleeper".
