the rail road expanded the US west and tied canada together as a nation. there needs to be more of these babies out there showing our respective populations what brought our countries to where they are now. not enough people know the history and our countries are worse off for it.

The legend returns.

This footage, editing, the whole package: ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY! Thank you so much for putting in all this effort and time to produce something that means so much to so many!

I can't wait to catch this beauty when she comes down to Texas

Looking and sounding spectacular!

I've always loved the unique design of Canadian steam locomotives Glad another one back under steam!

Welcome back 2816!

This is simply amazing. The quality is great, the camera shots are also great.

She’s back!!!!!!😊

Spectacular footage!

Nice to see the Smoky Smith car. I have that car on my HO scale Layout! Pulled by a Rapido HO scale Royal Hudson. Great to see one running again.

This is such amazing filming from close up shot of sidings to best spots to video at!

Just ran across the video. Have seen 2816 and cars many times go by very near our place SE of Alderside. Always exciting. Saw the train as it went by our place the day it went south. Great technical video. I'm sure there was a drone shot in there which was fabulous. Thank you for the effort. !

Pleased to see steam not being forgotten in Canada. I just missed steam when I lived in Montreal in 1963/4. Just got back from a tour of steam railways in North Wales - that's the place to see a lot of wonderful steam railways in a smallish area. It rains a lot though.

Great video and thanks for uploading this video! 😊

Thanks, I’ve been waiting for this.

Beautiful locomotive! Excellent video! Thank you!

Talk about a spit shine! She’s a beauty!!

1st time i ever seen a steamer with ditch lights 😅

Already have my designated spot to railfan. I believe it will come through Milwaukee.

The legendary empress is back. She's been steamed up by CPKC as they kept their promise. She's still a legendary steam locomotive. I can't wait for her Transnational tour. The yard is where they store their CP Holiday Train cars until it's time for them to be on the move.

Thank God CP 2816's back and E. Hunter Harrison is no longer in the picture.

Lookin' good.

Well done! Thank you. Is there videof lighting the fire for the firstime since the locomotive was retired? Sad to see "ditch lights" improperly added to the locomotive. Burning fuel oil? Natural gas? Sounds like a Chinese whistle sounded by and electric valve.

She still have her journal bearings or roller bearings? She journal box casting are still there I believe

Cool!

Well this channel is back up and running. 😂

I don't consider wind noise (in this case) a technical issue. It's part of the environment being filmed, we can't feel the wind; but if it's there and not overpowering it is fine IMHO. Great work!

I love how the secondary whistle on 2816 sounds close to a diesel air horn! I wonder if that was intentional

@trainman2393

10 ай бұрын

It’s because the whistle is activated by pushbutton instead of the more traditional Whistle cord. There’s no variation in the pitch. Myself, I can’t stand push button activated Whistles, for exactly the same reason you like it, it sounds too much like an air horn

@trainman2393

10 ай бұрын

The deeper toned Whistle is a six Chime much like on the southern pacific, and is activated by a Whistle cord. So much better sounding when the engineer can vary the pitch by how the cord is manipulated.

As far as I know, the trip is strictly for CP and KCS executive to celebrate the merger.

So when 2816 eventually embarks on that historic trip from Calgary Alberta, Canada to Mexico City, Mexico and return in April of 2024, will you eventually chase it the whole way in both directions or just for a few certain segments?

The diesel is there, because the steam engine cannot generate electricity for the train. It’s been a long time now since steam was piped to an entire passenger train to power everything. The Diesel is not providing any pulling power of all on a train like this.

When Will CPKC Steam Up 2860?

I guess they're only allowed to operate the 2816 at the maximum freight train speed (60mph in most of Canada) when on CPKC track. Correct?

Should edit out the scenes that are so distant

That's the difference between you and I (Ooops, you have no videos). What are you looking at?

This was a "test run" for me, my external wind protected audio microphone "failed" and I was reliant on the onboard unprotected camera microphones. You may have noticed the wind in the video.

She has two whistles, one is off of a 2-10-4 Selkirk locomotive, operated by an air actuated valve and uses superheated steam, which is the one closest to the front of the boiler, and the other Is a six chime which is pullcord operated in front of the cab.

Before you give any "advice", I politely suggest that you know what you're talking about. What lens or lenses are you using and are you actually filming trains? I have never been fast enough to zoom out when the approaching train is close even in the old high end camcorder days, even if it had a "Fisheye" lens. Above all what's YOUR Field of View when an object the size of a train is 5m away from you; how much can you see? Take a lesson in reality before you give "advice".. Words of wisdom from an old guy!
