    It’s great that KCS gets to continue on as CPKC! I live in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 a few hundred meters away from Canadian Pacific railroad tracks, and it’s a common sight to see CP locomotives hauling Kansas City cargo.
    It’s great that Canadian Pacific gets to expand its lines down to Mexico, and KCS is playing a key role in that.
    Great Video 💯🚂😎

    1:03:22 - 1:09:11 that’s pretty much most of my home territory I railfan in! At 1:07:38 besides the second track on the far left that use to be there going past the DeQuincy Station and a little junction office building being there now, a real good bit of that scene has changed dramatically. Definitely glad he had the foresight to film some of that rail action out there around then. It’s really appreciative that he did this!

      You are 100% correct. Railroads were at the top of their game when it came to paint schemes in the 90s. All the class ones looked fantastic. Unfortunately, many of those railroads became fallen flags shortly after developing their new attractive schemes. Regardless, those were great days to be a railfan. Thank you for the great comment.

    I wish they would have kept the identity of the two companies separate. To me, the need to create “CPKC” is nothing more than CEO ego and perhaps somehow tied to financial bonus. Canadian Pacific itself is engrained into the history of the growth of Canada and is what brought BC into Confederation. Likewise, it could have left the KCS as its own company. The whole thing was an acquisition and didn’t need to be merged. But these are the ramblings of a railfan who really likes the KCS livery.

    • @CVisionProductions1
      @CVisionProductions1  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We completely understand your sentiments. Canadian National has kept their name the same, probably for the same reasons you mentioned. The decision to rename Canadian Pacific (which was announced very early on) was most likely done to gain the confidence of KCS’s leadership and shareholders, and to present the image of a combined end-to-end system. There was speculation that eventually the company would be renamed Canadian Pacific, but that doesn’t seem likely at this point. Thank you for the thoughtful comment.

    Illinois Central getting rid of what became the “Meridian Speedway” was one of the dumbest sell offs ever. They got in the 80’s abandonment/sell off craze, and this one cost them dearly. They tried to get it back, but KCS outbid them.

    • @CVisionProductions1
      @CVisionProductions1  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You bring up an interesting topic. The 80s seemed to be full of shortsighted sell offs. The SOO selling off their Chicago to Superior mainline to the Wisconsin Central in 1987 (fully completed in 1992) was probably one of the biggest blunders. IC’s “Meridian Speedway” sale to MidSouth is definitely on the same level. How about Burlington Northern’s sale of the Stampede Pass route to Washington Central? They got it back, but it was still out of their hands for a decade. MRL probably couldn’t be placed in the same category, since the BN ensured that they’d never fully lose that trackage. We appreciate your comments.
