Unit #9727 and 9731 were partially repainted at Calgary, AB. (11/2009) and lettered "Powered by Biodiesel blend - Canadian Pacific", with the addition of a small Government of Canada logo. At the end of the test, the units were put into regular service with BioDiesel decals removed, leaving the Canadian Pacific lettering in place.
