CP took ownership in the fall of 2007 but had no control of the company or
operations so DM&E's engines couldn't be considered part of CP. October 30,
2008 was the date CP exercised legal control over DM&E but operations have not
been integrated. That date is still to come. For now CM&E/IC&E engines are CP's
property but probably shouldn't be considered part of CP's roster. The same
happened with SOO and D&H which became operationally and commercially part of
CP when they were "adopted" (as the AAR defined it) as part of CP. Probably
that would be the best date for your records, you can use whichever date you
prefer so long as you define it!

John, I guess 'b' are the dates I'm looking for and yes I'm
aware of the current coporate status with respect to the
Soo etc.
