Iowa RR Switching At 4 Track Crossing & Steam Locomotive 2816, The Empress, Canadian Pacific Railway

Canadian Pacific Railway Switching At Nahant Yard, Davenport, Iowa. Flooded Streets & Steam Locomotive 2816, The Empress With Its Steam Train In Iowa. Look How Many Cars A Single Locomotive Can Move Flying Past A Railroad Crossing In LeClaire, Iowa! Have You Ever Had A Motel View Like This With Railroad Tracks Right There?! Most of this video was shot my first day there and part of it shows the steam train passing by on my second day. This is Part 1
First we see a train switching the Nahant railroad yard just south of Davenport, Iowa. The crewman can be seen switching the tracks and riding the train. The train then leaves the yard and we take a look at the flooded roads and the steam train that is sitting in the yard. I got a motel with a great view of this railroad line. That way I was guaranteed that I wouldn't miss the train on its early morning departure and I could watch a few trains pass by while I am trying to sleep. I give a quick tour of the motel room and filmed a train from the window.
On the way to the motel I filmed a northbound train pulled by a single locomotive. 3 trains passed during the night. I heard them on 160.770 and they use another frequency when they get past here. I forgot what it is so I will look it up and add it.
This video is mainly just for the railway shunting and to show my motel room at the Holiday Inn Express in LeClaire. Michelle at the front desk got me the room with the best view of the tracks. I noticed that people are requesting the other side of the building with the river view so getting a railroad view is easy and the parking lot on this side has plenty of empty spots. Win win.
I included the steam train in this video to show what I came to Iowa to film. This is a once in a lifetime event. The steam train is setting all kinds of records. The train left Canada a couple months earlier after running on its tracks across Canada. It then ran on their tracks all the way across the United States and into Mexico on their tracks down there. The train ran in 3 countries and it was on its final leg of the run back to Canada when I filmed it. The locomotive is 94 years old and is an oil burner. It was retired in 1960 and ran for a decade on tourist trains from about 2001 to 2011. It ran again in 2023 and is being used on the one year anniversary of the merger of Canadian Pacific Railway and Kansas City Southern Railroad to form the CPKC. There will be more on this steam train in my other videos. I will also have a video of Iowa Interstate Railroad crossing an 1895 bridge across the Mississippi River.
Filmed Sunday and Monday, June 30 and July 1, 2024 in 1080p with 60fps. Thanks for watching!

Great video! Glad you enjoyed Iowa. What a great view from your hotel room, too. Nothing like watching a train from the comfort of AC on a hot day! You we're about a mile from our house by the tracks in Guttenberg! My kids and I love watching your videos. So much so that my toddler will squeal with delight and take my phone from me. And since we live by the tracks they all excitedly run outside to watch every train that goes by. My son, Bobby, turns 10 on the 25th and would love a shout out from you.

Two very nice runbys in good light and the auto and people filter worked very well. Their OCS now right up there with the other major railroads in the US. While you are certainly in the agricultural area that train being assembled is for a large electric Arc furnace Mill in nearby Montpelier and according to news reports you missed a runaway there by 2 days. This area does host a fair number of older non-modified CP\SOO\ICE flat cars and gondolas. Indeed a single unit on a roll lugging back empty Frac sand cars. Distillers grain cars.Tank cars for corn oil or syrup Maybe even ethanol and just like Cincinnati a gondola salute. PS. Sorry the view at the yard was blocked. It never fails those are the two most likely cars you'd see in Iron Mountain visiting Jason

[@JawTooth]

I had a guy tell me about the runaway train that derailed about 19 cars. He said he was working over there when it happened. I considered filming it but I had limited time. Thanks for your comments Paul!

Wonder how many times Shoestring caught out at this yard? Looking forward to the steam 🚂. That's a pretty sweet hotel room. Ah a steam train at last. Love the sound of those whistles.

In 1989 I rode on an excursion train from Vancouver, BC, pulled by a similar engine. Not sure if it was the same engine, but I’m pretty sure it was also a 4-6-4. Definitely had 6 drive wheels.

[@thomasmackowiak]

I enjoyed watching the switching at the Canadian Pacific's Nahant Yard (former Milwaukee Road property) in Davenport, Iowa, Jaw Tooth! That was a wonderful motel room for train watching that you had at the Holiday Express Inn in LeClaire, Iowa. You were able to capture a Canadian Pacific manifest train from your motel room window as it passed. Nice catch of the CP 2816 coming around that curve and then passing your location. When the 2816 went south to Kansas City, Missouri on its way to Mexico, it did not have locomotive 7013 with it. The helper diesels on the southbound train to Kansas City had the F units in the videos that I saw. This trackage that the 2816 is running on is former Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad trackage. This was part of the Milwaukee Road's line to Kansas City.

[@Sacto1654]

Amazing to see CP 5101 still in the old Canadian Pacific colors with the "Pac Man" logo.

[@CedarAshCanvas]

I grew up in Montreal. 2816 was built at Montreal Locomotive Works in 1939(?). It last saw revenue service in late 50's on a suburban commuter route running west from Montreal. My dad took that commuter train to work each day, it ran by the foot of our street in Dorval, Quebec.

Nice video, JT. I love the CP color scheme. The steam train looks great and I love the sound of a steam whistle. I love to watch trains but my wife thinks I'm nuts. She grew up in a house that backed up to the SP mainline that ran South from Sacramento down California's central valley - a rail fans dream location. Her father and uncles work for SP after WWII doing track repair. He walked out the back door and climbed up to the tracks to catch a passing train to go to work. Talk about a short commute.
