- CPKC wanted to celebrate their one year anniversary in a very special way. Running their steam engine 2816 from Calagry, AB to Mexico City. This is the first time in 17 years since 2816 has been in the states, making it a very special treat to see this pulling the train. We start off west of Balfour, ND with the Connia Slough in the background, then catch it last time on the Portal Sub in Anamoose. Next we start off on the Carrington Sub just east of Harvey and get a couple of times before getting onto the Elbow Lake Sub and one last scene in North Dakota. We see the train in Nashua, crossing the BNSF Morris Sub and end the chase at Hoffman. This train would spend the night at Humboldt and head to Humboldt yard the following day.
She’s beautiful. Thank you for the gift of seeing her in action.
Ottawa Canada.
Sweet catches and chase of the Empress. Classic #2816
Thats the same train Ironman3406 posted a few days ago..very beautiful indeed!! Thanks for another shot at this wonderful sight👍🏻🍻
STELLAR vid , Great locations and NO pacing shots that ruin things for other chasers , BRAVO , well done !!
I'll be seeing her in Missouri in 2 weeks. I really hope I'll be able to gets shots as great as yours! Thank you for sharing!
Going to meet her in Shreveport. She will come through Houston, where I live, but she can't stop here because she'll be on UP tracks, and UP isn't really celebrating the CPKC merger... LOL
fantastic train
Excellent video!
Excellent shot. Like😁
Nice catch and chase!
Glad they removed those awful ditch lights
Awesome videos! I hope to see her in Manitoba this summer! I wonder what the schedule is for the Empress?
Una joya de video✌🏼✅1️⃣🫡
the whistle sounds so unnatural that i thought it was a recording being played by all the crossings
That's what a real steam whistle sounds like. Having grown up in Calgary, I have heard it several times on the steam train that operates at Heritage Park. It only sounds unnatural if you're used to the air horns that they use on diesel units.
@@bartwentink2189 i know what a real one sounds like. its just the fact that theyre using a push button to operate it like a diesel horn rather than the way a steam whistle is traditionally operated that makes it sound so unnatural. I'm use to hearing a little slide into the notes that the whistle plays because of pulling the whstle cord.
@@VirgotheDrusky 2816 has two whitsles, the original is a 6 chime located in front of the cab and pull operated but is too quiet to pass regulations for use in most provinces of canada and some states in the usa. so they use a newer but still quite old button operated steam whistle that is 2x as loud as the older one for basic rail use. There are vids on youtube where you can hear the 6 chime blasting as it passes by and it is majestic.
It’s always had that whistle. It’s real. I think it’s cool.
Seen her in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. I shot a liitle video of her crossing the Swift Current creek on the trestle, this is on the CPR mainline.
Especially like the overhead shot at about 6:45. Also I don't see any signs of passengers aboard the train. I'd sure love to ride it!
Very nice video and chase!
When it left Calgary there was the hydrogen unit in front of the FP9s
Nice.

How did you get ahead to catch it so often? I see me pulling up in my blue pickup at 5:15. Chased it from Valley City to Enderlin. Great video.
I really expected to catch it only 4 times from Minot to Glenwood, thinking they would be flying down the main. They were only doing about 40 most of the way. I was in no desire to break as many road laws as some others were doing during the chase. I’m sure you noticed doing your chase. The road layout and railine don’t parallel the tracks so going from Valley city to Enderlin is an unfortunate section.
@@ahtrains Yep, I just followed a few other vehicles that left from VC down 94 and turned off in their direction and there we where at the Fingal crossing.
I want to see some speed
Nah, this trains speed is good enough. Remember, this is a nearly century-old locomotive, and running it as if it were fresh off the factory will bring unnecessary wear and tear on components - and there's not enough spare parts to go around.

And that misfit diesel
Wonder if the Royal Hudson by itself could pull the 17 cars.
