CP bought some used KCS SD40-2s. They were in the white paint and lasted that way on CP for a while. I'm not sure what year that happened though.

Thanks for that information, Geoff. I found that CP purchased 7 KCS SD40-2's in December, 1992, ran them with their KCS 3-digit numbers, but CP markings, until 1997, when the 7 became CP 5415-5421. www.cprdieselroster.com has photos of a few of them still in KCS white after receiving CP Rail 4-digit numbers. Enlarging my initial scanned image shows that at least the 4th and 5th units here could plausibly be carrying 3-digit numbers. I suspect you have cleared up they mystery.
