It looks like all of the CNR Moguls which were originally Grand Trunk locomotives had four digit numbers, but they were re-numbered with three digit ones when the CNR was formed. Later, the handful of survivors got two digit numbers, freeing the three digit ones for diesels.
Incidentally, CNR's 6018 was a U-1-b Mountain, built in 1924 and scrapped in 1958.
