Funny how the CP name is offset.

The offset is not out of line with the placement of the name on GP9's, both of the yard and road switcher variety, which these units are replacing (and contain a few components of). I think we call all agree that it looks much better on the GP9's... far too low on the carbody of the GP20C.

Ugh, they are all pretty unpleasant to my eye.  CP has the same asthetic as NS, but at least the latter has a logo of sorts.  They could bring back the golden rat, or if cost cutting is still needed, just drop the lettering completely.  It's not like anyone sees these out on the line anyway  :trollface:

Multimark, and yes, the high water mark for CP in terms of image (even though I love the Script).

Of course the script would be the summum !!!!!   8)
