Canadian Pacific 2816: The Final Spike Anniversary Steam Tour

Join the A-Train4014 Productions Crew as we head trackside for the Final Spike Anniversary Steam Tour featuring Canadian Pacific 2816! From May 3-9, we joined CPKC to celebrate the merger between Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern as 2816 tours Canada, US, and Mexico. See The Empress and its train travel along the Mississippi River from St. Paul, Minnesota to Portage, Wisconsin on Day 1 followed by familiar territory along the Watertown Subdivision and the C&M Subdivision heading along our hometown territory as it heads towards Bensenville Yard in Chicago before following the train along the D&I from Bensenville to Davenport, Iowa making this trip extra special as The Empress continues its cross country journey to Mexico. Enjoy the video!

Canadian Pacific 2816 is a epic famous steam locomotive of Canada that is by far the most popular one. I’m so happy that I was able to see this steam locomotive back in April 24th of this year 2024.

Thank you and the crew, Andrew, for this video of CPKC 2816 traveling from St. Paul, Minnesota to Davenport, Iowa. I enjoyed watching this video. You caught the steam train in some interesting locations.

check out 2816 in the IMAX Movie "Rocky Mountain Express", an amazing movie without a doubt

I normally don't watch videos this long, but yours was so well done, I couldn't turn it off. Excellent job. I do have one question. What kind of camera(s) is your team using?

[@ATrain4014]

Thank you very much! All the scenes in this video were filmed with an iPhone 14 Pro Max. -Andrew Mangalindan

How do you find out when 2816 will leave a specific place? I will be in Davenport, IA on the day it leaves there (July 1) and I want to know how to know when to go out and see it
