CNR #400 to 428 were various Moguls previously owned by Canadian Northern, Canadian Government Railways, Grand Trunk Pacific and McArthur Company (a railway contractor).
429/1 (the first use of #429 by the CNR) was originally Atlantic Quebec & Western #40, which was scrapped in November 1935. 429/2 should have been QRL&P #22's new number, but the loco was scrapped in September of 1953.
The three digit numbers then jump to 470 and continue uninterrupted 504, with most of these locos built in the late 1800s and a handful in the very early 20th century. All were scrapped between 1920 and 1930.
The three digit numbers resume at #530 and run continuously to 734, with all but #674 and 713 scrapped at various times from the early '20s to the early '40s. The 674, built in 1899, was scrapped in July 1959, while the 713 served on the CN Museum Train and is preserved at the National Museum of Science and Technology, in Ottawa.
The Moguls' numbers continue at 735 and run, uninterrupted, to 929, with scrappings occurring from the mid-'30s right up to the end of steam. Sixteen of them were re-numbered, in 1951, from 80 to 94 and 96. According to my 1969 source, seven of those are still in existence.
Matt, according to the info which I have, the 480 (ex-CGR 1014) was sold to Dussault in July of 1923, then re-sold, in the same year to the QRL&P as their #21.
