The Empress CP 2816 Chase Part 1

A super exiting moment when Canadian Pacific Hudson #2816 made a historic tour across the CPKC system on its trip to Mexico! On this leg of its journey it starting in Portage WI to Bensenville IL on the C&M sub. We start in Somers WI with a few freights & daily Amtrak trains, and then followed the 2816 as it speeds through the midwest countryside all the way to tower B17 in Bensenville IL. Part 2 will be coming soon where will get to see 2816 again in Franklin Park IL and then follow it when it departs for Davenport Iowa!

Nice medley of trains, Amtrak, CP freight, N&S freight, Commuter-rail, topped off by, Canadian Pacific steam locomotive and mixed carriages along with dome-car. PS- Silly-me. just learned Steam locomotives have Reverse. Books about steam locomotives always show Round-Tables to turn-about locomovites. Memorable stuff. Well done. 🎉 Thank you.

CP 2816, with the AWESOME paint scheme, is one of the most beautiful steam locomotives out there. As usual, your video shows exceptional cinematography. Keep up the good work. I enjoyed watching!
