I worked on the design team for those units in 2019. If you don't have it already, there is a book out on the military units:

All profits go to the Homes For Heroes Foundation to support veterans in need.

CP has a ton of really amazing history, and I hope that doesn't get lost in the merger. From a business standpoint I understand why they want to make a change, as a company with maple leaves & beavers in its logo probably doesn't play super well with shippers in Dallas, New Orleans, or Mexico City, but CP is one of only three Class 1 railways in North America that are still operating on their original charters and I hate to see that end. (Ironically, KCS is one of the others. The 3rd is Union Pacific.)
