I’m about a 1/4 mile off of the CPKC New Orleans sub here in Baton Rouge. Still looking forward to sometype of passenger service developing over this line in the next few years. Antrak and the FRA have a proposed route travelling from Dallas, TX to Miami, FL via the sub. And from what I’m noticing, this line isn’t hauling the normal manifests from years prior. All I’m seeing are short locals, boxcars and tanks. Any thoughts on that?
I railfan the KCS a long time ago at different times from Kansas City south over Rich Mountain and the Meridian Speedway. It would be nice to do it again IF I had the time.
Well done. As a person who has followed CP for 50 years, the merger with KCS is the biggest news in railroading in my lifetime. This gives the company a huge competitive advantage. Not only a streamlined service between Canada, USA and Mexico but the company can handle containers between Vancouver and the cities of Chicago, KC and Memphis faster than any other company. Vancouver is a day closer to Asia than Long Beach. I look forward to future videos.
A fantastic video, LRP! I enjoyed the summary of CPKC's first year. We're getting a lot of "stacks and racks" trains up here too, indicative of the railroad's shifts in priorities.
I don't see much rebranding of rolling stock for CPKC at all, it all still seems to carry the old logos. I guess this will only take off once they get significant amounts of new locomotives and wagons?
CP can't afford to... not after spending 31 billion dollars they didn't have. They have made token efforts on Autocars and a Locomotive or two but to most people this merger says one thing: CP Red and White and the Golden Beaver Shield. They may have called it CPKC but it is run more like CPkc. KCS will always be the red-headed step child in this deal! 👎
Lot going on with the railroad so I just overviewed some of the highlights! Ready to see more moves from CPKC!
I got a decent snapshot of the CPKC Army unit, I believe, at Deramus yard on yesterday! Keep up the great work!!!

CPKC is held together by Union Pacific trackage rights.

Can't Wait To Locomotives With The New Paint Scheme
Awesome Video!! Im planning on chasing CPKC 2816 from Chillicothe, Missouri to Kansas City, Missouri along with several friends!
So far, so good. Impressive in terms of wasting no time in capacity improvement projects.
Wonderful presentation once again. We enjoyed watching and have a wonderful rest of your weekend.(Steve)
It's definitely a remarkable train presentation 👍

Excellent work. Glad to see the M&B finally getting it's due. Still waiting to see how Canada gets benefit from all this.
