===Diesel locomotives=== [[File:Canadian Pacific - Trans Canada passenger train.jpg|thumb|right|upright|A CP passenger train heads east towards [[Calgary]] circa 1973]] [[File:CPtrainleavesBoltonpassingsiding.jpg|thumb|right|A westbound CP freight train pulls away from a [[passing siding]] after track clearance in [[Bolton, Ontario]]. It is headed by four [[GE AC4400CW]] locomotives (8627, 9615, 8629, and 8609).]] In 1937, the CPR acquired its first [[diesel-electric locomotive]], a custom-built one-of-a-kind switcher numbered 7000. This locomotive was not successful and was not repeated. Production-model diesels were imported from [[American Locomotive Company]] (Alco) starting with five model [[ALCO S-2 and S-4|S-2]] yard switchers in 1943 and followed by further orders. In 1949, operations on lines in [[Vermont]] were dieselized with [[ALCO FA|Alco FA1]] road locomotives (eight A and four B units), five [[ALCO RS-2]] road switchers, three Alco S-2 switchers and three [[EMD E8]] passenger locomotives. In 1948 [[Montreal Locomotive Works]] began production of ALCO designs.<ref>Dean, Murray W. and Hanna, David B. "Canadian Pacific Diesel Locomotives". Railfare, Toronto, 1981. p. 36</ref> In 1949, the CPR acquired 13 [[Baldwin Locomotive Works|Baldwin]]-designed locomotives from the [[Canadian Locomotive Company]] for its isolated [[Southern Railway of Vancouver Island|Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway]] and [[Vancouver Island]] was quickly dieselized. Following that successful experiment, the CPR started to dieselize its main network. Dieselization was completed 11 years later, with its last steam locomotive running on 6 November 1960. The CPR's first-generation locomotives were mostly made by [[General Motors Diesel]] and [[Montreal Locomotive Works]] ([[American Locomotive Company]] designs), with some made by the [[Canadian Locomotive Company]] to Baldwin and [[Fairbanks Morse]] designs. CP was the first railway in North America to pioneer [[alternating current]] (AC) traction diesel-electric locomotives in 1984. In 1995, CP turned to [[GE Transportation]] for the first production AC traction locomotives in Canada, and now has the highest percentage of AC locomotives in service of all North American Class I railways. On September 16, 2019, [[Progress Rail]] rolled out two [[EMD SD70ACU|SD70ACU]] rebuilds in Canadian Pacific heritage paint schemes; 7010 wears a [[Tuscan red]] and grey paint scheme with script writing, and the 7015 wears a similar paint scheme with block lettering.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2019/09/16-canadian-pacific-releases-two-sd70acu-heritage-units|title=Canadian Pacific releases two SD70ACU heritage locomotives | Trains Magazine|website=[[Trains (magazine)|Trains]]|access-date=16 September 2019|archive-date=5 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191105205149/http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2019/09/16-canadian-pacific-releases-two-sd70acu-heritage-units|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[File:CP 7028.jpg|right|thumb|CP 7028, an [[EMD SD70ACU]], in [[Nashotah, Wisconsin]]]] On November 11, 2019, five SD70ACU units with commemorative military themes were unveiled during CPR's [[Remembrance Day]] ceremony.
