Peter,
The official CP Motive Power Modification for ditch lights on CP
locomotives started in 1977.
Cabooses last ran on regular freight trains in 1990.

Refresher please
Hi guys,
I'm travelling and do not have access to my reference books.
May I ask a reminder for two things?
1) when did ditch lights become mandatory on leaders on CP in Canada?
2) when did cabeeses disappear as a standard tail end on main line trains
on CP ?
Cheers, Peter
