Well. Almost one month ago, the final approval went by for CP and KCS to merge into CPKC. CP, serving well for everyone across the US and Canada since February 16, 1881. 141 years ago. KCS serving US and Mexico since 1887, 135 years ago. As much as I wish this merger would not have gone through to create one railroad, but to have KCS become CP. Growing up all my life around CP and always seeing CP, it will be extremely upsetting to see the railroad I grew up on go to waste and become a railroad supposedly better. I just wish that one day we could all go back and visit the earlier days where we could see what we grew up on. I’m extremely upset about this and I’ll never forget what CP has done for me and my family. RIP CP, February 16, 1881-April 14th, 2023. You were the best Railroad I have ever known. RIP KCS, sometime in 1887-April 14th, 2023. Didn’t know you until 6 years ago, but you were a good railroad, but we never got to see you. I hope we can keep some CP and KCS units. I don’t want the CP beavers to go away, or the KCS belle units. For all of you who wished all along these companies were to go away, think of what’s happening, sure it is great for the economy and stuff, but what about the Beavers, the Belles, Grey Ghosts? What about when you saw that first CP or KCS unit? Made you happy didn’t it? I don’t want this to end already. Goodbye all.
