The CPKC Final Spike Steam Tour is commemorating the merger between the Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern Railroads, which was approved by the STB on March 15, 2023. The Steam Tour, features the recently rebuilt Hudson type 4-6-4 #2316, called The Empress. The locomotive was built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in December 1930. Two EMD FP9A locomotives, 1401-4107, are on the train as assist locomotives. The train is making a tour of the system between Calgary and Mexico City.
In this video, you'll see the train at different locations on the old SOO Line railroad between Minot, ND and Glenwood, MN. Enjoy!
