Watching this is making me more and more hyped for the tour. While I'll sadly be missing out on it, it's not stopping me from being excited for this tour happening within the next month.
These test runs are leading up to what shall most likely be the biggest steam event of all three nations that this tour runs through. To my knowledge, no one has ever done it before, so this will likely make 2816 historically famous (like Flying Scotsman's 100mph record and the meeting at Promitory Point) in addition to her current popularity. It's also good to see Daylight 4449's auxiliary tender out and about, even with it being in CP colors. Interesting note: both auxiliary tenders are from articulated steam locomotives. 4449's is from SP 4219 (hence the tender's number) and the other one is from a Delaware and Hudson challenger.
I almost forgot about the tour. It will be one neck of a trip - from Canada all the way to Mexico. A d to think they've been doing shakedown runs for like what feels like a year now just to be sure she's ready to go. Crazy.

I’m looking forward to seeing videos of the tour! I’m sure it’ll be very well covered
Fantastic footage!
Thank you! Cheers!
Now how did I not know about this??? Always wanted to see one
Hopefully you’re able to catch it sometime!
They are currently in Laredo Texas… They passed through South Texas yesterday.

Thanks Steve! Enjoy the rest of your weekend

It will be quite the trek! I’m really looking forward to seeing all the videos of her across the continent!
I think this trip might be the longest in North America since the Freedom Train in 1976
Just saw the 2816 this past Tuesday rolling southbound through the town of Olds I was pretty surprised because I was not expecting it
Glad you got to see it! She sure is impressive
Yes
Great captures!
Thanks!
Just regarding crossing bell sounds , I prefer the acual bell 🔔 , not the E type, cool train though
Great stuff Rob!
Thanks Chris!

*one HECK of a trip. Stupid auto correct.
It sure will be! Never thought a CP steam engine would be running across the KCS network or even down into Mexico!
Great done video :)
Thank you very much!
I keep pestering my relatives to find out if the 2816 will make another run through the Crowsnest Pass, if they did the last time seats were sold out.
I would love to see the 2816 going by Frank Slide!
Needs an ole caboose
It sure does!
Whistle sounds laike cak cak
That’s air actuated whistles for you
The original steam whistle definitely sounds better! Unfortunately it’s not used as often
