0:59 - 4:42 After getting serviced, CPKC B40B departs Fauna while showing off its elegant consist! What a beautiful 6 chime whistle it has!

AMTK P40DC #824

5:36 - 7:11 As dusk progresses, CPKC B40B highballs west through Missouri City as it hustles its way to Kendleton for the nights.
5/27/24
7:11 - 10:18 In a hazy morning of Memorial Day, CPKC B40B departs Kendleton as it starts its journey to Laredo. You can hear it blowing its 6 chime in the beginning of this clip.

19:02 - 20:07 CPKC B40B highballs south between Sinton and Odem.
20:07 - 24:25 CPKC B40B heads west through Robstown as it slithers the connector. Also blew some of its 6 chime!
24:25 - 27:45 An end to the chase! After getting serviced, CPKC B40B departs Spear siding in Robstown as it continues its journey to Laredo. Loved how it gave some toots of its 6 chime!
27:45 - 27:50 A bonus pic of CP 6644 (World War II Memorial) sitting in Corpus Christi. Ironic to get that on Memorial Day after completing the wild chase of 2816! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Awesome video. I caught it in Refugio, TX. It was my first time seeing a live steam and F units. Glad to see so many people caught it too.
I chased 2816 from Zwolle, LA to Liberty, TX.
I jumped on it I’m on it right now
Canadian Pacific 2816 steam locomotive, pulling three Diesel-electic locomotives, and various passenger, service, kitchen, baggage, freight, etc along with Dome-Car, very nice to see.
Beautifully restored CP steam locomotive, functional, upkept, and rest of train.
Praises and cheers to the passionte, talented, skilled artisans and all involved at CP.
The sights & sounds CP 2816 makes are much better than, "bells & whistles in any latest greatest car or gismo".
CP 2816 steam venting, swish, Chug-Chug, Choo-Choo, whistles, horn, bells, lights, ...
Wow, CP 2016 can go fast. Never knew steam locomotives could pull train of cars as fast as latest model of AMTRAK train.
CP 2816 and train very nice to see along with Texas scenery.
Well done planning to catch photo/ video of two Deisel-Electric locomotives BNSF, CP, and CP 2816 steam side-by-side. They are an added treat.
Kudos to all for capturing videos of CP 2816 and train memorable events. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you. 😊😊😊
Nice

Thanks again for letting me tag along on a magnificent chase!
