Canadian National's Fallen Flag Railroads

Railway companies that no longer operate under their own names are known in North America as "Fallen Flags" The Canadian National has a handful of companies under their belt that would fit the description. Here are some of my catches of CN's Fallen Flags around Manitoba from 2017 or so, to 2023, Enjoy!
*These are not all of CN's Fallen Flags. Roads such as the Central Vermont, Northern Alberta Detroit, Toledo & Ironton, Duluth Winnipeg & Pacific and the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio were taken over by CN's more recent FF's like Wisconsin Central or the Grand Trunk. Or in some cases, merged directly into CN years ago (NAR), or sold off completely (CV).
I hope to eventually update this compilation with better clips of some of these roads, such as the B&LE, DM&IR and WC.

You may want to do a little more research, BC Rail is a crown corporation owned by the British Columbia Government. The assets were leased to CN for $550 million upfront and (up to) 60 years of annual payments of $22.5 million. The President of BC Rail is an employee by the British Columbia Legislature, and not CN. There is a line item in CN's annual report every year denoting this.

I wish I could see a Canadian National locomotive, and any of the other companies, but they're probably exclusive to America, I see Canadian Pacific locomotives, when I can catch a train which is rare for me. Actually I was very lucky to catch the Holiday train twice! I'd love to see the new Canadian Pacific heritage units dedicated to our Veterans. Oh my gosh a BC Rail loco! 8:07 woah a slug car cool!

You only covered recent acquisitions. CN was originally formed from several bankrupt lines, including Grand Trunk. Former CN Telecommunications employee here.

Yeah, I would've loved to include older stuff like the NAR, PGE, GTP, but there's no units left with those road names/paint. I wish CN would honor more of their history.

@@TheWinnipegRailfan Yes, GT always had the same paint scheme and logos of the parent company, and the dispatcher who I lived next door to in the 60s, was Canadian. Their logo ( previous to the GT logo) had a maple leaf background.
