I was taking pictures of this unit, and I noticed the startup bell ringing, so I started recording.

So glad to see the first CPKC painted unit finally out in the open! The new livery has grown on me.

It's too bad that they removed the two F9 units that were with the train during the first part of its trip.

@kansasstatealerting2424 Ай бұрын

I agree. They would’ve displayed them in KC but there wasn’t enough room. Such a bummer.

The new paint scheme is no different from the original CP, except for the gold and black trim on the rear of the unit

@smokelesschoice165 Ай бұрын

It was the cheapest costing paintscheme compared to the other four options. That's why it was picked and is a slap in the face to the KCS paintscheme IMO. The KCS paintscheme has class, the CPKC paintscheme does not. It looks like a backwards nod to CN. Maybe it should be nicknamed "CN 2.0". But if people like it, that's fine. Some of us don't and that's fine too. To each our own.

It's not Option 3 or 5 either. As expected they went with cheapskate Option 1 which is terrible. Looks like a Burnt Candyapple. And those three flags, could they be any smaller? From a distance it looks like a piece of paint chipped off. And the logo? Bad mix of colors, the yellow clashes with the white. No. Option 1, IMO, is terrible, a slap in the face to the KCS paintscheme which had class. Option 1 has no class, but was most likely voted in by the cheapskate shareholders. It's the cheapest costing paintscheme compared to the other options, but whatever makes the shareholders happy I guess. If other people like the Option 1 design that CPKC went with, that's fine. They have their statements about it and I have mine. Despite that, the video itself was good and it's great that good weather allowed for some cool shots.

I have only one question, is the locomotive a model or is it real?

@kansasstatealerting2424 Ай бұрын

It's real, why would it be a model?

@user-rz6vh3xt8j Ай бұрын

Because I saw in other videos that it only moved through the Canadian Pacific steam locomotive, but still the design is great.

CN is mostly black and CPKC is mostly red. Since CP was all red that is a good compromise. With BNSF and G&W that is enough orange liveries out there.
