For instance, Rule 292, which is Stop in English-speaking Canada, is Rule 429 in Quebec - WWT....

I realize this is an old thread and this has really already been addressed, but should be stressed anyway, but no, that's definately incorrect.
There are not different sets of rules in Quebec and the rest of Canada. ALL of Canada uses the same rulebook.
The scanned pages above are from the old 1962 Uniform Code of Operating Rules (UCOR) which were was the rulebook in use until replaced by the new (current) Canadian Railway Operating Rules (CROR) in the early 1990s.
The 400-series numbers that have been pencilled in are the CROR rules for the equivalent indications.
CROR also includes several other indications not existing in the UCOR, and a few have been slightly renamed in the new rulebook. Both the additional indications and the slightly different naming conventions are inherited from CN practices; I have a CN 1979 employee's timetable that includes most of the added indications, and also uses the different naming.
*It should be noted though that the while the rule numbers and some of the names are slightly different between the UCOR and CROR, all of the meanings are unchanged.*
