Iowa USA - Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) 7015, one of two recently released SD70ACU units in heritage paint schemes, was pressed into service as power for a business train after CP FP9A 4106 suffered a mechanical failure Saturday.
 
The train departed St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday morning bound for Kansas City.
 
This was the first time one of the SD9043MAC rebuilds has led the CP heritage train.
 
The locomotive is one of ten being released in a heritage paint scheme after being rebuilt by Progress Rail in Mayfield, Kentucky.
 
It is part of an order for 60 SD70ACUs using the railroad's stored SD9043MACs, being rebuilt by Progress Rail in Kentucky.
 
The first four SD70ACUs, numbers 7000-7003, were recently put in service in British Columbia.
 
CP CEO Keith Creel selected the Tuscan Red scheme from designs presented to him.
 
CP FP9A's 1401 and 4107 remain on the train as power.
