Canadian Pacific Kansas City released its new locomotive livery on Wednesday, more than two months after the Class I was created by the merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern.
Earlier this spring, CPKC let employees vote on the new scheme from a handful of options. Most of which were a combination of CP and KCS’ colors of red, white, yellow and black.
A digital rendering of the winning paint scheme is very similar to CP’s current scheme, except with angled bands of yellow and black at the rear. The railroad’s beaver logo is on the long hood as well as “CPKC” in white. The nose also says “CPKC.” Below the cab windows are three flags, representing the three nations the railroad operates in.
It was unclear when the first CPKC unit would roll out of the paint shop.
