Yeah. I’ve gone out to see 844 and 4014 a few times (here in the states, of course) and it’s crazy how people, railfans included, behave. People chasing alongside in their vehicles, passing one another in no passing zones, sometimes passing several vehicles in one go. People standing on the tracks. Some drunk guy (or just plain crazy) yelling at people trackside telling us we were all going to hell because we weren’t putting Jesus first. Just a few things I’ve seen . But yeah, let’s just focus on Mexico 🙄

You know what would be nice? If you also included the footage of the 99 year old former NdeM engineer who not only got to see 2816 passing by but also ended up getting to meet the entire crew and get a close up look at the engine. I can only imagine the memories and happiness that this probably stirred up for him. Yep that's right good things happening in Mexico and with 2816 in Mexico!

It’s not the railroad’s fault these people don’t respect the right-of-way or have no discipline. If nothing, having a fear for physics should keep them a safe distance. Bad actors tarnish the reputation of Mexican rail enthusiasts. It happens north of the border too.

They could have looked up a video of Mexican rails before going lol. What did they expect

As a Mexican railfan, it’s saddening to see the result from my own neighbors, but I will give them some reasons for irresponsibly. Rail safety infrastructure like crossings gates, and organizations that promote rail safety are non-existent. They don’t have Operation Lifesaver down there. Train tracks are just there and every time you are near rails, it’s just your brain and tracks. I am also certain railroads don’t have these tracks as private property, so there isn’t a need for railroad police to catch trespassers. If they are private property, there is no enforcement for accountability. There also has been a decline of railways in general where trains are non-existent anymore, which is the case in Oxkutzcab, Yucatan where my parents are from. There’s only a train station, and some rail left there. I wouldn’t be surprised if people traveled to see the train, especially on the bottom rest of Mexico to see this historic moment. These people don’t have a sense of how big and gigantic these machines are and are unaware of the dangers getting too close. These also aren’t excuses to be irresponsible, if you use a brain properly, none of this would have happened. I also tried to find coverage of the death, but there wasn’t much. I think it’s a missed opportunity for the eyes of the public to be aware of dangers available, after all, it was a historic moment for a steam train to visit Mexico. If the deal went international, it may have sparked some action for rail safety infrastructure. So far, the government nor railways have given the initiative.

Mark Twain once said "the more I know about people, the more I love my dog." In instances like this, I can see why he thought that

As a Mexican railway fan, it makes me angry to know that many people in our country are so stupid, risking their lives to take a damn selfie or trying to beat the train Stuff which is almost Impossible, anyway, those people are worth their lives.

Admittedly, as Mexicans, we’re reckless af, we train hop on freight trains to cross the border and either do get on board or die doing so. Our recklessness gets us into accidents. Seeing an operating steam locomotive isn’t a normal thing and hence, we got all “stirred” up. I get that yall are mad at CPKC for sending the tour into MX, and that’s fair. My only complaint is that local authorities should’ve done more to control crowds, but being the ones easily bribed by the cartels, they didn’t do bs. But all in all, condolences to the crew and the woman’s family.

He told me a couple other neat things (such as 2816’s lubrication system is completely new), but man, I’m sure he was glad to get off at Texas. I feel bad for the crew. When I was there for to see 2816, people where generally respectful. The train master said they were all glad the weather was nice (it had rained the day before, and it was expected to continue). Now they’re going home with some of the worst experiences a person could have. The trip still isn’t done yet either. I hope the crew can find the help they need.

U forgot to mention that 2816 got a little graffitti while in Mexico City XD. Am mexican and sadly I agree with this, organization, autorities and in general all the people are kinda, weird HAHA. Love my country but sometimes it's hard to deal with things like these happening here.

I swear these comments show how most railfan’s don’t have common sense to do proper research and knowledge with stuff like this. I think a lot of people miss the point that the people of Mexico aren’t taught rail safety like they teach us here in the states and Canada. Rail safety isn’t enforced in Mexico, so most people down there don’t actually understand why standing to close is a bad idea. Or why train hoping on a moving train is kinda dangerous. Look at Ferromex train videos and see how many close calls there are with vehicles and people. And look at KCSM before CPKC, it also shared some similar issues with rail safety. I don’t think this will mean CP 2816 is going away or never running again, I think it’s a matter of better planning for Mexico given how different the safety logic is down there. It’s a learning experience for CPKC, so they’ll learn how to handle Mexico rail safety as the years progress. Now I’m not defending the idiots who stood way too close, but at least understand that logic there is different when it comes to safety. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that some issues happened while on its journey to Mexico City.

CROR rule 14f would be constantly enacted (a short succession of bursts from the whistle to warn animals or people that a train is approaching them) the guys on that CP train have my condolences.

I just subscribed to your channel I agree with you that people should get off the tracks When a train is coming

They restored it and ran it on the mainline... to Mexico. One of the worst decisions out there. Next time CPKC, bring a safety train there give the people of Mexico some rail safety there for crying out loud.

As a Mexican railfan and aviationist I captured a video of the locomotive, where a family literally was an inch close from killing temselves. A guy was doing a sign like get out of the tracks for the family but the didn’t listen but got out from the tracks 0.1 seconds before the train passed, these people don’t have common sense.

they also left 7013 in mexico 💀 AND it’s being towed back by the F unit set

The Empress caused great enthusiasm in Mexico, our people are noble and affectionate towards foreigners, her comment seems discriminatory to me.

I am a railfan from Mexico and I don't get too close to the locomotive because I know how important railway safety is.

This is exactly why safety and common sense should always be top priority! We can’t let this happen again!

It makes me sad that due to these types of incidents, we cannot have the possibility of having more events of this type in the future. I'm a train fan here in Mexico City, and several of the Mexican train-related channels on KZread were talking about the precautions people should take when seeing the train passing by. I regret that for those people, the other people who, if we are aware of the risks, could lose that opportunity to see a train like that again.

I would imagine that CPKC is planning on spiking every switch on the return route in-place after the trip down, if they didn't do it for the trip down. If they had let it sit for alone unguarded for five minutes every last shiny piece of it would have been stripped, like nice car in a bad neighborhood.

These weren't even railroads but locals. In the U.S. non-railfans hardly know when a steam locomotive comes through or don't even know the difference.

That's so funny, by the fact that almost every little but important city in México has a steam train in there train museum's. There is a steam train in Queretaro city, one in Leon Guanajuato, one in Merida Yucatan, and one i forgot in wich city is located but remember in the museum they said It was 100% Made there by mexicans and is in perfect conditions, i remember it's number 296

Mexican here, as Taylor swift said in her 2017 album reputation : This is why we can't have nice things, darlin' Because you break them, I had to take them away This is why we can't have nice things,

This reminds me of something of the rail tour (in Australia) where 2 railfans was on the middle of the tracks at the train goes at like 80kph right pass them

Recent Years UP 1988 was pulling a KCSM Intermodal Train and hits a truck! That's why don't send a Special Interests Units to Mexico again because of Bad Rail Infrastructure!

Its not about infrastructure is about the behavior of the people there thinking that trains is a funny thing and they can do everything to the track "without" getting hurt.

"Never let BNSF1458 talk about Mexico again 🗣️🔥" My serious proposal here. Seems to be that the video just wants to mark the fault of security and common sense only happens in Mexico while rail incidents like those described have happened all around the world.

Literally what I was thinking

I managed to catch the train in minot while it was drizzling out, I have some family in Mexico that saw the train too. The pictures they took show a lot of people at not so safe distances lol.

I’m just hoping whatever happened down here won’t be the end of the steam program. Especially after spending a whole bunch of money on this overhaul.

0:18! “Look Gary! There’s my meme Gary!”

That's ones of the reasons I like "Canadian Pacific Railway" better than CPKC. Wish CPKC should give up the Kansas city Southern Tracks, and change it back to Canadian Pacific Railway even though 2816 might be retired from the roster after the accident.

Good points! Canadian Pacific is at least a 140+ year old and famous Class 1 rail road. Since discovering the restoration of CP 2816 Empress steam locomotive and train tour of CAN, US, and recently into Mexico. I've been learning that Canadian Pacific has long history in rail, ships, and airplanes. (Related is Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy steam locomotive restoration. Big Boy is about 14 years younger than CP 2816. I've only seen steam engines in old movies so learning about their revival is very special.) Yes, CPKC needs to be purged. CPKC is a fast food logo and open season 365, 24/7 to jokes. Nil to do with trains...

@@janetcohen9190 At last We both agree. CP is lucky they didn't choose or add Royal Hudson 2860 for Canadian Pacific steam excursions, and worst, the pedestrian accident could have happen to Royal Hudson 2860. No wonder there are no Steam Operations in Mexico.

I am a Mexican American, I live in Wisconsin and got the chance to see CPKC in portage. I know it is a big deal for Mexicans to have such a prestigious steam locomotive on Mexican soil. I believe CPKC should try to do another excursion but with better security. It should also be a chance for CPKC to educate Mexicans and other people on railroad safety, and bring recognition to the railroad industry. I am deeply ashamed for all the stupidity that has happened and for the loss of life. But I believe that with better planning a second chance can be possible.

Should have just visited the Campo railroad museum photographed the border fence from there. Yeah, Mexico has a different view about the value of life and self preservation.

How do you get your pfp to look like that? It looks like its animated and i like it

Sending it to Mexico was a worst mistake ever in CPKC’s history.
