Whoever said "let's run the 1001 with it!" and whomever agreed that was a good idea messing with this nice, otherwise matching train set needs to be slapped soooo hard.

[@cpjjp4705]

No slapping! Besides it got dropped off at Dunmore yard so that means the train is all Royal CPR scheme

[@modelrailroadexcursions987]

​@@cpjjp4705 well I'm glad to see that. Such an odd choice to tack on there. 😆

Good video.

[@craigpennington1251]

What a glorious sight.

[@CommanderCalico]

That whistle you hear in the first clip sounds a lot more like a whistle than the other one it uses.

[@sethbader3142]

I agree with you

[@lashendawest7509]

Good afternoon

[@DylanRailVids04]

0:28 that’s 2816’s original Canadian Pacific 6 Chime whistle 1:39 2816 also has a CP Air Chimed Whistle it uses as its secondary whistle

CP 2816. Canada's 611

[@OwenLartz-ch3fq]

I’m so mad because it’s will come though my town but I’ll be a school so uh.

[@cpjjp4705]

Don’t worry my friend! Someday when it’s done in Mexico City it’ll come back up your way again on its way back to Canada and you’ll probably get to see it. I believe in you.

[@wardy98px1]

Bring that reverse wheel a little more to dead center lol

[@Thatracinerailfan]

Pains me to know I can’t go to see it due to being in school and my dad doesn’t want to drive to Chicago

[@bobjohnson205]

It pains me to know that I live in eastern Canada and won't be able to see it because it's going to spend 90% of the tour in the States!

[@O-DogKubrick]

Any idea on where that train is going? Mexico City?

CP #2816 is off. She's attracting a ton of fans as she travels to Mexico City

How is she not in America?

[@bobjohnson205]

Are they running it on the Canadian side at only freight train speed?

[@tonyfrancesco3701]

Why are there always diesel engines with steam ?

[@cpjjp4705]

IDK? To help push the steam engine up rough hills

[@Rainhill1829]

Head end power (electricity for the coaches) and to act as backup motive power in case of a failure of the steam engine.

[@tvmrails1517]

Also because of PTC per FRA regulations no engine can be run on the mains without being equipped with or have secondary power equipped with PTC instead of ruining the history and modifying the steam engine they use the PTC system from the deisel engine and also you are correct it supplies power and if there would be a failure of the steam engine the deisel could take over or help it if you want a better and more detailed explanation go check out Hyce’s video on the topic he explains it very well

[@wilfstor3078]

Actually the 2816 is fitted with a self contained PTC system, they just hid it very well, the F-Units were there in case 2816 broke down, because the show must go on, and it's not like they can perform major repairs all the way in Mexico, the F-Units at least fit in a lot better than a modern freight diesel does... ​@@tvmrails1517

Strange how the observation car has an E-bell

[@craigpennington1251]

And it sounds bad too.
