Great shots! I was standing next to your dad in Amoret, MO. I'm just now getting around to editing my video, and it turns out that my audio died for my shots in Amoret (I had one shot of a UP freight and then of 2816). Would you happen to have those shots that I could borrow the audio from? If not no worries, thanks!
Nice video! They were really on the throttle the day they went to Pittsburg, Barely kept up with them myself!
Better than not realizing you're keeping up with them! Looking forward to your video!
Great video! I'm working on a DVD of 2816's trip on the KCS and I was wondering if I could possibly use your shot in downtown Houston?
Sorry for the late reply, but yes you can as long as you give credit!

Nice. The intro looks sick,
Never send her to Mexico AGAIN
Did the Mexicans steal the ditch lights off of her? She had them on the way down.
CPKC took them off once they crossed into the USA. They only need them in Canada.
Great video well done!
Excellent catches! Any idea what the story is with the two separate whistles?
One is a air powered 5 chime, the other is a steam powered 6 chime
No ditch lights lol thru them out
I’m so glad that it’s on the way back to Calgary Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
Glad she is out of Mexico and safe now that she’s in the States. Good video. Giday from Ottawa Ontario Canada.🇺🇸🇨🇦
It’s back in kendleton untill Monday good luck
