Pre 1928, its very hard to tell.

If you go here you can see an example that appears like there is no
lettering on the back of the tender.

But if you look at this photo it appears that the tender has very faint
lettering. (or I'm imagining things)

Unfortunately I have no clear photo of the butt-end of a tender from pre
1928.


After 1928, when the lettering scheme changed to have "Canadian Pacific" on
the tender, the tender received the engine number in what appears to be 9"
lettering with xxxx GALS in 3" lettering underneath the engine number.

The CPR never put the coal capacity on their tenders. Many photographs I've
seen had the tender heaped to sky with coal so I doubt they cared at all
what was the coal capacity. If you could fill the bin it was enough, I
guess.

There's a picture of butt-end of a tender on Page 448 of Omar Lavallee's
book "Canadian Pacific Steam Locomotives". Sorry I don't know of a web
picture to point you to. Nor do I have a scanner to send a picture.

As you can imagine there wasn't a lot of interest in photographing the
butt-end of a tender.
