Is CP washing their locomotives more now
Author: cpn456

With all of Hunter's cost cutting, is CP actually cleaning their power up some. I've seen a bunch of clean CP power recently down here on the UP in Washington and Oregon. Of course, that's not to say that I've seen some really dirty one's as well...

Could it be Alberta rain?

I haven't noticed any difference here in Montreal.

I've seen a couple of AC4400s running in the Edmonton-Hinkle corridor that have been repainted, mostly 9500s plus a couple 85- and 8600s. The only ones to receive that treatment so far seem to be ones that went for heavy repair, due to engine fires or worse.

Quite few repaints of late, esp 9500's.

If true , UP could take a hint here, especially the 5200's & 5400's that largely ply the Cascade, Sierra, and Tehachapi corridors.These units are filthy .
