This video shows me chasing Ex-CPR 4-6-4 Hudson 2816 (Now known as CPKC 2816) from Davenport, IA to Ottumwa, IA on its Final Spike Steam Tour from Calgary, AB to Mexico City, Mexico. #2816empress @CPKCrail
Magnificent catches of the trains coming by and pass, i like it 5 stars. Thumbs up. Keep up the perfect work, my friend, liked and subscribed. Greetings from Portugal to Canada.
Really nice stuff! Especially like the close up / long lens slow speed footage, plus the stopped railyard footage. A pretty sharp looking locomotive for sure. I wonder, though, been watching all the rail fan footage being posted from Calgary on down, but at no times have they let it run flat out. I see that, whenever the UP steamers are out and rolling, they are highballing around 70mph, don't think i've seen CPKC 2816 past 50mph. This Hudson class was rated for 70+mph, and this one obviously is in pristine running shape...is there a speed limit on the CPKC main track? Or is it just the Canadians saying "unh, unhh, uhhhh...lets not get too excited -- this thing was like, really expensive!!!"
