The "Canadian Pacific Railway" on some of the cars is there because that was
the official name of the company when the cars were restored or repainted and
Rob Ritchie wanted it that way. Some of the cars with only 'Canadian Pacific"
were either never relettered or were done in more recent times, when the trend
was moving back to the two-word name. Now that CP has officially dropped the
word "Railway" from their name, I would imagine that eventually all of the cars
will wear "Canadian Pacific" on their letterboards. All the better as far as
I'm concerned - I always thought it looked kind of silly with the 3 words on
there.
These cars are kept in very good shape but have seen many repairs and changes
over their long lives, so the roofs may not be very appealing cosmetically but
they do serve their purpose.

Lay-over track Westbound in Kamloops, October 24 to ______?
Questions: Why do some of the cars say "Canadian Pacific" and others say
"Canadian Pacific Railway"?
If this is the pristine train of the CP and the Exo's, then why don't the
roofs look like they are kept up in good shape?
Mainly curiosity.
