Canadian National Railroad Pocket Watch

Does anybody have any info on this watch?

This is a Swiss movement of usually questionable quality meant to look kind of like high grade American railroad watches. Finding out the maker is usually tricky, as they didn't want anyone to know! There are collectors of the "Swiss fakes", I would imagine asking at the NAWCC forums might bring some of those guys out of the woodwork.

 

I am guessing there's an engraving of a locomotive or something on the case back?

There actually was a Canadian Northern, merged into Canadian National. But I would be surprised if they used this watch!
