KANSAS CITY — Canadian Pacific Kansas City unveiled its new locomotive livery today after tallying the results of employee voting on five potential designs.

The winning choice — selected by 40% of the more than 5,327 employees who participated in the online survey — was option one. In a separate vote of shareholders at the railway’s investor day today, 40% also chose the same livery, CEO Keith Creel says.

The livery is CP red, features the CPKC beaver and shield logo on the long hood, and ends with a splash of gold and black that begins at the radiator section of the locomotive.

CPKC locomotives will wear the livery in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico.

Option No. 5 was second by a wide margin, Creel said.
