Good for CP Rail.  Now let's see CN match them, especially considering the reach CN has into the USA.

Photoshopped or real?  I was aware of some interest shown but I thought nothing came of it.

NDHQ has been hankering after Global Hawks since late 1999. Maybe they are hoping for a 20 Year Anniversary procurement special?
