I just find it fascinating how it is now theoretically possible for a train to go from Canada to Mexico and still be on tracks owned by the same people.

Red dipjob with 'CANADIAN PACIFIC' and a golden rodent on the side? Pretty sure CPKC is what they called the proposed takeover of KCS.

I don't expect there will be any change. CP will absorb KCS, and KCS locomotives eventually will be repainted as they enter the main shops.

Given that KCS signage started being removed from KCS facilities shortly after the announcement yesterday, I suspect you are correct.

At least down south we still have grey KCS locos as well.

Will this affect KCS units on military trains?
