Quality videos of trains all over Canada and the US. I mostly got hooked on filming trains after reading lots of history about the Railway workers. So much of our countries were built by these folks, the work was so hard, so dangerous and they did it all no matter the weather or how demanding the terrain.
Thank you for this fresh new look at trains in BC. There are many RR videos out there of these areas but none come close to your video quality. A wonderful selection of locations and some unique views of some locations I am sure have not been filmed before.
Imagine if CPKC expanded their steam program and Reacquired CP 4-6-2 2317 from steam town. And i was thinking since 2816 is known as the Empress, 2317 would be known as “The Grand Duchess”
Great footage!! I wish I had a chance to see her before she left Calgary, I'll try and catch her when she returns! Great to see everyone lining the tracks to catch a glimpse of this train!
HOLA! Thanks you for the great shots, of this beautiful locomotive, whoever you are. Thank you CP for doing this great excursion. It can't be cheap. Hope we get shots like this all the way to Mexico City. Steam trains dig deep into my past (born in '47) and CP2816 gets me all emotional.
Hopefully they will send her east for some tours. We haven’t had live mainline steam in the St. Lawrence & Ottawa River valleys in many decades. Love to see her speeding along the Winchester sub.
And again a better view ru-vid.comiOxLBg2nDP8?si=kFbczHrlS2ZrybR7 Please let me know if it the same style loco it definitely looks like it Great video even the diesels look great 👍
I have the old Triang version of that steam engine Ive had it for 53 years it was produced in black but I’m pretty sure it’s that one As I live in Australia I have always wondered what the loco is modelled after looks fantastic
Couldn’t have said it better! Also I don’t understand why they do this as it costs more to come up with a electronic or air mechanism to switch it on and off whereas they could literally buy 15ft of rope for minimum costs and everyone would be happier! Less money they have to pay and more enjoyable sounds for railfans how can you go wrong!
@@edlrailfanproductions3984short answer is, it’s safer (easier to hear at speed and distance) and they wanted to keep the original whistle as well. Air operated whistles aren’t new, a good example is Pere Marquette 1225 , which had the traditional style of actuation added in the preservation era.
@@moonpie22399 I guess you have a point but at the same time cant they still use lever instead of quilling just use all the lever for max volume! still would be better than sounding like a Loop from Trainz
She still has the original whistle with a cord and she used that when she left Calgary and it sounded so much better. Probably a modern “safety” regulation that they must follow. I’m sure the engineer will use the nicer whistle when he can
@@ianhartley5057 I’ve seen it a couple times now and it has cured my dislikes still sad they use the actuator more then quilling but at least they can if they want.
Would be nice if they would run it to Ontario before they mothball it for another decade or more... It only takes one short-sighted bean counting scrooge in a suit to repeat the last shit show.
