4202 was built as CP 4213. A few renumberings occured after that, but West Chester returned it to its original number.
CP 4213 to CP 1102 control cab to SPEX/Quebec Rail Corp. 1102. Was converted back to a functional locomotive by Industrial Rail Services in Moncton, N.B. and I am sure converted from a DC generator to AC. Renumbered after completion to SPEX 4202 and used mainly as a "B" unit on the New Brunswick East Coast Railway [NBEC]. CN bought the NBEC and promptly retired the NBEC units and sent them to Homewood Illinois where it resided until the WCRR purchased it.
