On April 15th of 2023, Canadian Pacific Railway and Kansas City Southern officially became one company with the largest railway merger in history. To celebrate the one year anniversary of this event, the new company, dubbed CPKC, sent former Canadian Pacific Railway steam locomotive number 2816 on a landmark excursion trip from Calgary, Alberta to Mexico City, Mexico. This trip, dubbed the Final Spike Tour, is set to travel through all three countries through which CPKC travels, making various stops along the way at public display sites. In this video, we take a brief look at a few of the scenes I captured of the train traveling through North Dakota and Minnesota. In the coming weeks, a longer video will be put together covering a section of the locomotive's trip.
