Those F units look fine enough to pull an excursion of their own.

@@Wawa111_Mainline yeah As a matter of fact I wish those f units could be in regular passenger service as long they were many years ago

Beautiful, the whole train looked and sounded great. I love the sound of all the carriage wheels.

Awesome to see those old locomotives still operational.

Beautiful day. Beautiful train. Thanks.

H_E_L_L_O_____Super good Video! Thumbs Up!

Reminds me of the great days when the railroad was king.

Nice catch! This has to be the first time the CPKC watertown sub has had a steamer run through it in a long time!

I saw her cross the Swift Current creek on April 27th in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. Beautiful old loco and well worth catches a look at.

What a shame it wasn't The Royal Hudson on this epic journey 😊

Dang, wish I'd known, I'd have been there.

Very Nice catch!

Just booked a trip across Canada on Via Rail Canadian in 70 year old Budd Cars.

Sensational !

What's with the square wave whistle from the steam engine?

Yes, I was hoping for a real whistle, that one had the croup!

Great catch ! Enjoyed the video! New subscriber.

Intense catch buddy 👍

I noticed the F locos. Can’t the steam locomotive pull a train that size without their help?

I'm glad I drove to Portage and stayed overnight. I figured there'd be way too many people around in SE Wisconsin to booger-up anyone's chance of getting a nice video. 🤢

Is there an I.Q. limit in this town for drivers?

Not one for drivers or especially elderly pedestrians. It is the same everywhere.

Pedestrians are a big issue at this crossing, I saw a pedestrian walk in front of a train and get killed a Few years back. His dog didn’t want to cross, he tried to coax it across, but his attention was on the dog and he didnt realize the train had arrived. Dog was smarter than him.

Guess Canada is the only place you can see steam at speed?

Not at all - the UK and Germany at least run significant steam hauled excursions - I watched one only a couple of weeks ago.
