www.railpictures.net has some pictures of CP #5836 (sorry, I can't figure out how to do a hot link from here). Just go to the site, type in 5836 under the "Enter Keywords" section and under "Select Railroad" click on "Canadian Pacific Railway"...then click "Find Photos!". No rear shots of #5836, but I believe that it would have  black and white stripes on the rear. While you are on the railpictures.net website, search other CP SD40-2 pictures with a similar scheme and you will see the black and white stripes on the rear.

Hope this helps!

Happy modeling!

Don.
