Why is CP so lax when it comes to repainting their older locomotives (like SD40-2's)? Why don't they repaint the SD40-2's that have little or no paint left and their colors faded? Look at railroads like NS and UP. I know they high profit large railroads, but they stay on top of repainting their locomotives very well, unlike the CP. I realize I make it seem like they don't repaint any of their SD40-2's whatsoever. However, they have been slowly repainting of small number of their SD40-2's (probably the one's they are going to keep). As we all know, they have a new paint scheme (the red without the Golden Beaver..example: ES44AC's) that they are sticking with. Below, I have a collection of photo's that serve as evidence for these recently repainted SD40-2 units. If anyone else can answer my question as to why they are so lazy about repainting their SD40-2's and even their SD40-2F's or "red barns" (none have been repainted into the new scheme and I thought that CP was pleased with their performance) i would appreciate it. Furthermore, it would be great if people could add to my picture list of CP units (not just SD40-2's) that have been repainted into the new CP livery w/o the golden beaver. I know that they have painted their ex-GP40X's, select GP38's, select GP9u's, select GP40-2's, and even an AC4400CW into the new livery.
