Donald C. Lewis' "Rail Canada Vol. 5" indicates the described scheme was the final one used by CP Rail prior to the sale of the RDCs to VIA. Apparently the white reflective stripes are 12" in width.

Drew could probably give you more detail on this matter but yes, Q-Tron did supply all the electronics for the PTC upgrade. Incidentally, from an locomotive engineer's point of view, the PTC
