CPR 2816, "The Empress" Rolling to Kansas City *Newtown to KC,MO*

on National train day, CPKC brought down "The Empress" 2816 as part of the final spike tour into Kansas City for a week layover.
we picked up the chase just south of Newtown,MO for a very brief pace of the Empress before starting to leap frog ahead of the train at Highway 6, then Grand River (Chillicothe), Excelsior springs and finally north KC just north of the Harry S Truman draw bridge. plagued by slow orders and track work, all trains were running much slower on the CP 'KC Sub' leading to the chase not starting until almost 2 in the afternoon.
of note, we planned to film the Missouri river crossing it's self but our drone kept loosing signal so with little trust in it i kept it over land in case something were to go wrong.
