By the time of the CPKC merger, the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad had been fully absorbed into the CPR system, with the only remains being a mail slot at CPR’s Calgary HQ.

A few diesels still carry the DME blue & yellow paint scheme, but most of them have been repainted into the new CPR/Soo red dip paint scheme, and the only sign they are still on the DME roster is a little “DME” stenciled under the cab-side road number.
