As I reported earlier...sometime during this century I believe...pg 99 of Northern Pacific Classic Steam Era shows a string of Canadian Pacific gons of some kind at Missoula, Montana in '40. There's also a very clear shot of a Conoco tank car in the same photo. No N&W hoppers are identifiable, however.

Not much of a surprise. The CP handed off coal to the Spokane International
for movement into the states.
