Today, on the Sunbury-Binghamton mainline, I saw a northbound CP train that had several gondolas in its consist. The original reporting marks had been painted over and CP RAIL stenciled in their place. On the side of the cars was a stylized circular logo with a "P" in the center. The cars were marked "Tie Loading Only" Can anyone tell me the heritage of these cars?

Those are old Procor Rotary Gondola Cars that carryed sulphur, CP has bought them and started restenciling them for use on the MOW Trains to carry ties from one place to another.
