Personally I think option 3 would've been best. It keeps the classic action red with a new fresh take and a nice refreshment with some pop of color alluding to KCS with the black and gold.

Options 3 or Option 5 would have been my two choices, Option 5, in my opinion, looks so much better, especially with the yellow stripe down the side of the long hood to the front like the KCS units have. But, I think what they chose, which we know is Option 1, is a start. Before the merger was approved, a Progress Rail friend of mine had told me he thinks the paint jobs will be sort of how the BNSF was before they went to Heritage 3. So, with that said, I feel that this is just a starting paint scheme and may last as long as the Heritage One did for the BNSF, then it's possible that CPKC will try another scheme. We shall see.

They could certainly end up doing that. BNSF’s H1 didn’t last too long unlike the rest but it looked great. I’ve seen many ideas for CPKC liveries, I think they could take inspiration from some of those. The one they chose just looks too much like CP’s old paint scheme on the front and with the updated beaver logo for CPKC. We can only wait to see what they’ll do.

Option 4 is just Option 3 without the nose stripes. Option 4 is actually very close to the Deramus era paint scheme on the KCS.

To be honest, none of these options look very good. Canadian Pacific has not had a good reputation for long lived logos. They have changed so many times over the company's iconic history. Probably the old beaver symbols of the early-mid 20th century, when "Canadian Pacific Spans the World" are the most memorable but now highly out dated (but great collector's items). Even today, still commonly known as "CP Rail," even though that trade-mark has been out for over 30 years. Have to hand it to CN for creating arguably the best, and long lived rail logo: "The Noodle" (Some say one of the best logo's of all time, period) I understand the importance of KCS in the history of the US rail industry. But it has been absorbed; a "fallen flag" taken over by another significant North American railway icon. So, here's an option: It all becomes "Canadian Pacific" and not CPKC. In return, the merged company adopts the KCS Southern Belle paint scheme with a CP logo. Far nicer than any current or future CPKC options currently presented. (I know, I live in a dream world)

Good comment. I totally agree, especially the part about KCS. It should be completely absorbed into CP like other companies.

After waiting a year, I am disappointed in their paint scheme. Especially after the KCS Southern Belle. It would be better is they added the Black and Yellow on the front half too. You have the best and really only pictures of the new paint scheme. With that, Thank You.

Although I don't hate this, I think they could've done better, it's too bare around the cab imo. For my thoughts, they should've had the gold stripe continue down the side with black going down to the platform below the gold, similar to KCS but without the red in between the gold and black, and ending at the cab with the classic CP angle, or maybe have it similar to KCS, or just something new, as well as black nose panels beneath the windshield for more contrast, and to help the crew from being blinded lol.

I say no to any repaints. Put CPKC on the long hoods, put the same on the noses of the power, under the road numbers on the hogger and conductor sides of the cab put the CP herald on the original CP units and same for the KCS units. This way the marriage of the two roads pays homage to it's origins. If the brass go ahead with repaints, the power has to be washed more often. I have sent Keith Creel two memos regarding the washing of the power. LOL! Shabby looking power doesn't portray a classy outfit that CPKC wants.
