Canadian Pacific 2816 The Empress arriving to the US Mexico border to cross into Mexico.

The first time (That I know of) a steam engine travels from Canada through the United States and into Mexico! CP 2816 ready to continue her trip to Mexico City!

As an American who loves steam engines, that engine looks awesome and so do those diesels.

That 3rd rail in the foreground looks like dual broad guage, but i suspect it is actually some old ribbon rail they have yet to pick up.

It's actually a soon to be replacement for the current rail

"The Final Spike Steam Tour featuring the historic steam locomotive Empress 2816 will be an unforgettable journey. Here are the details: Departure Date: The tour will begin on April 24, 2024, departing from Calgary, Alberta1. Route: The train will traverse Canada, the U.S., and Mexico in a single trip, making it the first-ever steam-powered passenger train to do so. Stops: The tour will include 11 stops between Calgary and Mexico City, with notable locations such as Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Ticket Prices: Streamlined Cars: $149 for adults and $89 for children. Open Window Cars: $129 for adults and $79 for children3. The Empress 2816, built in 1930, boasts elegance and a whopping 3,800 horsepower. Although it won’t reach its original top speed of 145 km/h due to equipment age, the journey promises to be a remarkable celebration of rail history and the merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern." according to Copilot!

I suspect this is the first time 2816 has seen Mexico. Back in the day, there were a couple of CP track sections that ran in the U.S., but beyond that I doubt any CP engine would go further than the interchange points with American lines.

[@jaydawg2010rp]

Correct. This trip makes 2816 the first Steam engine to operate in Canada US and Mexico

[@salvadortorres2027]

This is actually way bigger news than people realize. Mexicans are going out by the thousands to wave because to Mexico this marks a new beginning. The trains are coming back to Mexico. Canada, US and Mexico are fully connects by rails and Mexico is investing heavily in rails at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and the Yucatán peninsula. Mexico has plans to make the Tren Maya connect to Belize and Guatemala. Americans and Canadians should be happy about this because Mexico is quickly becoming industrialized and bringing back all the manufacturing jobs from Asia. This will not only benefit Mexico but all of North America and Mexico doesn’t want to leave Central America behind. Helping Central America will be the only viable way to reduce mass migration. Mexico has a great plan but America is way too proud to admit it’s right. American politicians keep pushing the anti Mexico/invade Mexico agenda because they can’t stand the thought of Mexico becoming a Leftist, Humanitarian country that renationalized the petroleum and electric industry as well as nationalizing lithium. Current Mexican President has gained so much respect for Mexico around the world in the last 6 years and has begun a movement called the 4th Transformation of Mexico. Now Claudia Sheinbaum, the new elected president will continue with what’s is referred to as the 2nd level of the Transformation. Remember that American politicians know that there always needs to be an enemy and they sadly keep making it Mexico and its people. Mexico has always been a humanitarian country that remains neutral and always asks for peace among nations. America is just too greedy to allow Mexico to solve its issues. They create the problem and try to force their own solution on you, and that solution hardly ever helps your country.

[@bunkerhill4854]

@@salvadortorres2027I don’t know that all of your comments are correct, but I can offer two comments. Firstly, if the US can find a way to get in the way of progress out of pure meanness, they will take it. Secondly, please stop referring to residents of the US as “Americans”. All residents of North America and South America are “Americans”, not merely people of the USA.

Did this train reall have a police escort?

Yes.. I met an officer from chicago that Said he had been with it since Kansas city and another was from Maine and said he had been following it from there

[@Modine.]

@@jaydawg2010rp So I guess now my question is why? What was on board that train that would require a police escort, or was it the train itself?

[@jaydawg2010rp]

Usually when the executive trains pass through.. at least here.. they have or hire police escorts.. the only thing I can think of is to ensure the train does not get vandalized or no one hops on board... possibly even just to monitor rail fans to ensure their safety.

On union pacific lines?

[@MikeV8652]

No! That's a CPKC track. CPKC and UP own separate tracks to a switch less than 400 feet from the international bridge. UP has trackage rights on CPKC from the switch to the international boundary on the bridge, where UP and CPKC de México officially interchange. The American portion of the bridge belongs to CPKC subsidiary Mexrail, Inc. The Mexican portion is owned by the Mexican federal government and concessioned exclusively to CPKC de México. The old depot that the train passes beginning at 2:14 is UP's.

[@jaydawg2010rp]

No. On KCS track (CPKC)

[@MelioraCogito]

When CP acquired KCS, it also acquired KCS's track and routes that run down into Mexico as far as Lázaro Cárdenas on the Pacific Coast and Tampico on the Gulf Coast. CPKC is now the only North American Class I railway, that owns track and routes in all three countries.

Majestic machine! But this is actually way bigger news than people realize. Mexicans are going out by the thousands to wave because not only is this an amazing piece of history but to Mexico this marks a new beginning. The trains are coming back to Mexico. Canada, US and Mexico are now fully connected by rails and Mexico is investing heavily on reviving its once great rail network. They are also competing with Panama by building its own rail “canal” at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and the Tren Maya in the Yucatán peninsula.
