The story

1999 - December 2017

A black top and bottom broken by red and white stripes down the middle with the CEMR "bison" logo and a larger grey stripe and large white engine numbers on the sides under the windows of the cab.

December 2017 - Present

Solid black with red and white curved stripes near the rear and on the nose of the locomotive, and a red line on the fuel tank. This base scheme, and the font of the numbers, match that of the CEMR's parent company, Cando Rail & Terminals. In the middle of the body is the CEMR "bison" logo, with the website of Cando underneath.
