CP has GP20ECOs coming that are all new except for the trucks and traction motor cores.

Have there been any of these delivered and roaming the rails?

Nope, at this point it's just an announcement that they're going to do it, but nobody's actually seen what the new trucks are going to look like (well, outside EMD and their subcontractors and maybe BNSF).
