I like #1 or 5, but with an armadillo replacing the beaver medalion.

I like #1 but it also reminds me of CN, for IP and marketing purposes maybe not the wisest choice. I'm sad to see both roads lose their identities, i always had a good time chasing CP in minnesota and whenever a KCS unit was around it was always photo worthy.

The bookkeeper in me likes option two without the whiskers. Cheap to apply and cheap to maintain.
Others do look nicer but that could be reserved voor special number unites like 7000, 7500 and so on.

Option 5 looks too much like BNSF with the thick yellow stripe at the bottom and the yellow stripe near the top.

Those paint schemes are as inspired as the name.  |

CPKC is totally uninspiring. Oddly reminds me of this.....  |

Hi All!
Back in the day I went to the Calgary Stampede, and got a tour of Alyth Yard (CP). This has to be in 1998. The tour guide said that CP was talking with KCS about a strategic partnership or merger. Boy it took a while....

Thanks for this thread. I think the new livery is quite attractive. It's good to see colors reminiscent of the KCS Southern Belle scheme as well as recent CP liveries. The inclusion of the Canadian, US and Mexican flags on the loco is also appropriate.

I'm sure it'll look just swell in a few years when its as filthy as everything else CP owns.

A merger that never should've been allowed in the first place on anticompetitive grounds, but the antitrust concepts have no meaning anymore. We have robberbaron entities who dwarf the historic robberbarons, they just aren't called that anymore.
On the aesthetic side, we lost two great schemes for this mishmosh.

Corporatocracy.
I heard they're going to name the unit the "Yaroslav Hunka" after the Canadian WWII hero.
Stupid rodent logo. If anything it should have had an eagle, a symbol of both USofA and Mexico.

Just today ScaleTrains has announced HO models of the first two locos painted in the new CPKC livery. Those interested in them should see the firm's website.
