[Talk-us] Mass retagging for CPKC railroad merger

[Clay Smalley]

The full name of the company is indeed Canadian Pacific Kansas City
Limited. However, they use CPKC as a trade name ("doing business as"), and
their own website [1] uses this far more often than the full name. I had to
look around to find a reference to the full name in a press release [2].

Unless we're going to retag Amtrak to National Railroad Passenger
Corporation as well, CPKC should be an acceptable moniker.
