CPKC 2816 "The Empress" arriving at Kansas City with CPKC 9375!

Follow along on this mini-chase as CPKC 2816 hits the rails of the KCT and enters Kansas City for the first time. Trailing is CPKC 9375, the first unit to wear CPKC's paint scheme. As a result, this video also features the first time CPKC colors have appeared on the mainline.

Great catch they swapped the FP9 locomotives for the new CPKC locomotive I can’t help but notice that she doesn’t have the auxiliary water tenders and I also noticed that it looks like they removed her ditch lights

[@texastrainfan56]

It was a short trip no need for the extra tenders they will be added back on the way to Shreveport. Ditch lights were removed when she came into the US she isn't required to have them

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

@@texastrainfan56 I’m gonna hopefully try to see it in Shreveport next weekend I just got to figure out how I’m gonna get there I’m probably going to only see it on Saturday for one day and then head back to my hometown

[@texastrainfan56]

@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan I plan on chasing them down to Shreveport from Oklahoma (only about 3 hours from me) I'll be back out when they do the event so maybe I'll see you out there

Nice catch, love it with the Newly painted CPKC 9375 right out of the paint shop.

Wow, the new livery really stands out and looks great!!

Thank you for the post, Railhunter!

[@railhunterproductions]

Your welcome

[@danielmink9028]

And the new CPKC locomotives are nothing to sneeze at, also! I look forward to seeing them on a regular basis once they start running on the old KCS tracks running through eastern Oklahoma to Mexico and points south.

[@WarpedHorizon]

Looks like they dropped a bunch of cars when they swapped to the 9375, that consist is much shorter than it was here in St Paul. Great video!

[@cprtrain]

Superb video. Thanks.

[@transportsaucanada2844]

I am quite surprised that despite this new paint it remains CP 9375 and not CPKC 9375. As indicated under the Cab numbers

[@texastrainfan56]

Almost wonder if that's a way to show the Heritage of the unit itself being painted for just CP till now. Maybe the KCS units will have KCS on them when repainted

[@thompsonriverrailfan]

You're correct here, and of course 2816 will always be a CP locomotive with CP paint and a CP reporting mark. This guy clearly doesn't know anything about this railway.

[@taijuan5087]

Drone videography is a game changer.

[@JohnNyren65]

Fantastic video

[@lashendawest7509]

Great catches awesome chase and nice video

[@DavidStewart-jb7mo]

When I saw CP 2816 travelling west through northern Ontario in 2003, the blue was much darker, almost black. I have a picture to prove it.

[@RandomRailfan828]

Nice catch, that drone shot was great!

[@railhunterproductions]

Thanks!

[@NortheasternRailroads]

Wow that cpkc livery repaint all of em like that really sharp looking CN fans will be pissed it clearly is a take on CN Colors literally identical but replace white with yellow I think this cpkc livery looks better

[@grahamlivingstone1068]

Yeah, well done. I think they did a good job on the new CPKC livery, but a little surprised on the heritage CP logo they didn't add a subtle Stars and Bars along with the Maple Leaf?!?!....The more i see it, the 2816 is a handsome locomotive....like it much better then the streamlined Hudsons...like to see the gear, the stuff that makes it go!

[@railhunterproductions]

Thanks for watching and I agree

[@deathwishdrang1780]

sad to see a train that nobody's on, but thanks anyways for the view

You will be seen in a Pentrex program in this section, when the Steam Engine is reversing next to the 9375.

[@railhunterproductions]

Really? That's neat I guess. Please send me a link if you can

CP #2816 has pulled up to KC with CPKC #9375. I also noticed some cars are missing

I like video!!

[@AlanFricker-u8l]

The diesel's paint scheme is sort of interesting. Too bad the CP does not have a heritage paint scheme program for the MILW, SOO, and MN&S.

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

The music kills it.

[@WarpedHorizon]

Would you rather have 3 minutes of drone motors screaming?

@@WarpedHorizonHe’s using a ground camera too, ain’t that hard to loop audio. I do it all the time, sometimes not as good as I’d like but still.

[@smokelesschoice165]

Good video! Don't care much for the new CPKC Option 1 paintscheme (CP could have done better) as I was hoping for Option 3 or 5, but the footage was well done nevertheless.

[@MrAwesomedude808]

Where’s the f-units? Back in Canada?

[@texastrainfan56]

They were left in the yard temporarily will be added back before they leave for Shreveport

[@GreyBeardTrains]

Great video. How did you know when they were coming into Union Station

[@railhunterproductions]

Thanks! I arrived at Knoche yard as it was leaving and was able to get ahead of it, so pure luck I guess

[@GreyBeardTrains]

I would say
