Canadian Pacific 2816 "Empress" Across Iowa: The Final Spike Tour

[@AmtrakGuy365]

Thanks for watching! This was my first mainline excursion train and it was an experience I'll never forget. My photos of the train can be found on Flickr, Twitter, and Instagram: Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/142453835@N06/ Twitter: x.com/AmtrakGuy365 Instagram: instagram.com/amtrakguy365/

I have got to see Canadian Pacific 2816 at the CPKC headquarters in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in operation and idling under steam on one spot there.

[@TheOklahomaHotrail]

Another great video! Well done!

[@dougsfilmtv9810]

I saw the Empress in Davenport, Iowa and I got to see it leave and it was so cool!

[@neallucas9680]

Awesome video, the picture quality is superb!

[@hawkeyetherailfan]

I dig that first shot, and that's a great location in the third clip. Great video.

[@Rosettasweitzer]

Yesterday a lady in Mexico was hit by 2816

[@minecraftertracey01]

i was also at the letts hill, not as much sound as i was hopping.

[@rambling_railfan]

Saw her in Indus. Nice video.

[@thehawkeyerailfan9406]

It was nice meeting you out that day Mr 365! Hopefully my driving wasn’t too hard for Sam to keep up with!

[@RandomRailfan828]

Great shots man, looked like a fun chase!

[@chrism7894]

That observation car at the end is really interesting, never seen anything like it. Just a giant window.

[@therailthing610]

They're common on OCS and Geometry Trains.

Great video. Thanks.

Great video! 🚂🚂🚂🚂

[@jfreelan1964]

Great locations. Great shots. Being in NC I couldn’t schedule some vacation time. But I have been to some of those locations. I would have caught it in Columbus junction or Muscatine.

[@MrTragedious986]

Loving your camerawork.

[@protosheep]

Great shots!

[@KeystoneTrains]

Nice shots!

[@TailsFan369no2]

Fun fact: one of the auxiliary tenders was leased from the 4449

[@unnameduser06]

While ‘2816’ happily across the mass-national rail-trip. Glad we seen new locomotives like 9375 with a merger livery, and Two former EMD F-Units from the Canadian pacific in-towed. Hopes she steam on until it reacts its final destination to Mexico for the final time.

I'm so jealous that I can't get to see this, seriously why does it always feel like the good stuff happens so far away from me?

[@RailPreserver2K]

I sympathize

[@susanlua4792]

Same

[@Silvertone_Spiral]

Right on board with you

[@SouthernPacificNorfolkwestern]

Bro it's even worse for me I live in Massachusetts the only type of train I get to see is the MBTA commuter rail and very rarely a freight train

[@Trainboy17]

I'm Sure The Empress Will Have A Fine Time With Some Avocados From Mexico

[@susanlua4792]

This is two weeks later…..2816 wasn’t doing good in Mexico if you don’t know what I mean look it up search on KZbin: “2816 in Mexico”

Good Speed The Empress

[@southern_railman]

Listening to those diesels at 0:24 is just… 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌

[@GrandCanyonStudios844]

I bet you had a blast seeing the Empress up close. Would you want to do a history video of 2816 similar to how you did 611? If so, I found a few magazine issues about 2816 and her class, if you’d like me to email you some pages.

[@nathancorcoran5347]

Canadian Pacific 2816 isn’t the only H1B class steam locomotive that was used in excursion service to let you know, it’s sibling 2811 was used in excursion service back in the 1960s.

[@trainzgamer5]

cool vid!

[@ThompsonSteamtrain]

Next history video would be about observation cars

[@DPU.proMN.IA.]

So you're telling me I missed you in Davenport

[@chriscarruth5147]

What whistles did the locomotive have?

[@ApertureGaming011]

Hey, if you're still doing Trains of Videogames series, I highly recommend the game X-Treme Express for the Playstation 2! It's literally racing with trains

[@western-m1a2]

I just got home from seeing it in shreveport

[@johnosborn5971]

talk about UP 844.....if you can do it.😏
