- Canadian Pacific Railway Steam Locomotive #2816 during her days before 'you know who' was in charge. Included are various clips from different tours around the lower mainland BC Canada, and fraser valley. Keith, it is up to you now to do the right thing and get this beautiful piece of engineering back to work! No excuses! Canada 150? You should be ashamed of yourself! Can't get anyone to work on her? I smell something different! Take a page out of the UP's book, and learn a thing or two! And while you are at it, how about a generous corporate donation to the West Coast Railway Heritage Park in Squamish - home of the famed Royal Hudson 2860 - to get her back on the rails again! Now with the BC Liberals out, the ones who shut her down in the first place, it may just work! Just think of the exposure Double Header excursions would do to help your shareholders! You will never get rich from ticket sales, but the CPR could set a good business example!
Good on Keith Creel for bringing this amazing locomotive back under steam and sending it on such an ambitious tour. I can only hope that this tour is a success and the 2816 may be able to visit other parts of the Canadian Pacific system
Aye, I'd like to see her come down to Binghamton, NY, but that all depends on whether or not NYSW and NS are willing to play nice.
And nearly 5 years later, Keith announced that 2816 will be running a special run from Calgary to Mexico City to celebrate the merger between KCS and CP!
When will it run and is it going to Mexico, MO?
@@stormsurgeeas9769 Who knows but I am sure once the merger happens we will know for sure.
@@Michiganrailfan merger should help bring more steam back for mainline runs instead of them running locally
They are going to have to get permission from UP, and that may not happen
@@zwmrailfan They will only be only operating on CPKC Lines
That is one beautiful locomotive. Look how she enjoys her new lease of life, stretching her legs on the tracks of old. Diesels are making the money CP, but 2816 is what all railways are about. It is what little boys dreamed of. There's a business in that. UP led the way. Now it's your turn.
My father was a station agent for the CPR (we lived in a station in one small Saskatchewan town). It is so, so wonderful to see this beauty again. And, I am so, so angry with so many Canadian governments for allowing the degradation of our rail system. Rail is a far more efficient way of moving people and goods over long distances. I will stop ranting, I just love trains.
And now she is back under steam getting ready for a transcontinental tour across North America! Great job Keith!
I actually think 2816 looks better than the streamlined "Royal Hudson's"
She still has the elegant & colourful CP passenger scheme. Her sisters are beautiful in their own right, but I love me a steam engine that balances looks and practicality.
Harrison was a disgrace. Firing people, shutting operations and alienating customers. He has a lasting legacy but......it isn't good.
I am from Scranton Pa and a former volunteer at steamtown, where she cane from, I remember seeing on display back behind the shops sitting and collecting rust. She may not be running now but the workers her got her back up and run her g did a great job on her and she cleaned up nice. I do hope to see her and even 2860 back up again soon. Great video.
I would to see 2317 running again too.
What a shame that the bottomline always rules especially for such a spectacular Canadian icon. In 1988 as a Dutch Australian travelling in North America in a VW campervan I was sleeping under the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver and saw the 2816 go by. She is certainly a beautiful locomotive with a gorgeous colour scheme. In addition to the absolutely awesome scenery that she travels through I am amazed (especially after seeing what UP is doing with their steam program) that this beautiful steam engine is not in active service helping to promote the great outdoors of Canada, such a beautiful country. May the powers that be read this message and get the Canadian Steam Program up and running again asap.
You saw the 2860 go by, NOT the 2816.
I hope they get more of them back out there.i would be glad to travel by train,more so on a historic beauty! Count me in!
Good to see the old trains kept! Looking forward to going on the kettle valley train when we move to bc!
HRH the Royal Hdson is alive and merely hibernating in the BC Railway Museum in Squamish, BC. Climate-Controlled, shiny, and kept dusted. Needs a boiler inspection and a few more friends, but she'll never see the breakers! Too late for that! 8-)
Just got word of Hunter's passing, don't wish that upon anyone but hopefully, maybe his philosophies will pass on with him. I miss her whistle through my town so much.
Lets hope she returns once again
Great video. We all support your call to Mr.Creel. 2816 brought tourists into Canada whilst she was running, she was good for Canada and the CPR. David.
David Atkins thanks, and please share!
Already done, both sides of the Atlantic. David.
Guys we got Keith now and it seems to me that it’s been forever since the 2816 ran if only we could get the locomotive back to life that would nice but for now it’s safe to say rip 2816 we miss you and hope to see you in heaven
I Hope To See Her On The Hoilday Trains In The Future.
What a contrast- a steamer with ditch lights pulling Bombardier bi-levels!🚂
Yes, this was shortly after her restoration, and the CPR ran these short excursion trips to raise money for charity, something Harrison would have blown a gasket over! Good thing he wasn’t around then!
Hopefully the new management will get her back out of the iron, shame to see such a beautiful piece of Canadian steam collecting dust.
I hope Keith Creel could make it possible so we could see this on the holiday train. How nice if 2816 was decorated in Christmas lights and leading the holiday train.
They could never maintain their tight schedule with the 2816 leading the holiday train.
5 years later (2023) and it still hasn't happened.
I live in the US, New Hampshire to be exact and after seeing what H Harrison did to the CN, CP, and CSX I have to ask as a retired locomotive engineer what the hell were you gentleman thinking about? The railroads started out with main lines with branch lines coming off the mains providing traffic to the main lines and business from many small businesses on the branch lines.
Closing down branches as unprofitable and then refusing to sell to businessman who you know can make money running the branches. Not withstanding how many people you and your ( we want more profits investors) .
What the hell was so wrong with the way the CP ran before Harrison showed up. The line made money and employed a lot of people as it takes a lot of experienced people to run a railroad. When you cut your employees by over half it spreads like wildfire all over the communities they laid off employees live. Your spreading death and destruction all over your railway system from coast to coast. H Harrison is now gone God rest his soul but continuing his policies is suicide to the railroad as evidenced by no one wanting to work on steam engine 2816.
You've ripped the heart and mind out of the railroad but she isn't dead yet. You can still bring her back to life and yes it will cost a lot of money the investors want.
Answer this question please, who invested more in the CP?
Investors or employees?
Investors lose a couple of points on the stock price.
Employees have a lot more to lose, kids educations, paying off the house, keeping the wife happy, showing up for work on time with a good attitude and a smile on their face, the CP had all this before H Harison took over.
You want a well running railroad again? Get back to running the railroad, call laid off people back to work, start running freight trains not by how long you can run them but running them short enough to run on time and and on schedule. Harrisons way is running freights from coast to coast not caring about and eliminating local freights and yard jobs saying they were saving money. I used to think investors were good for a railroad but after seeing what H Harrison cares about is money only money.
News flash! You can't run freight from one end of a railroad for a thousand miles or more and expect to make money because your need the branches and their customers. Look at what's happening to the CSX system the small shippers and receivers are your customers too and your trying to operate as if they don't exist. That in time will turn around and byte you hard where you sit.
Bring back the CP we all knew and loved.
How much profit do you really need?
all the freight customers that built this railroad not just the investors who all they care about is the almighty dollar and how much profit they can wring out of the railroad. The investors don't give a damn about the little guy who has been for years working and keeping the railroad. Running in shape to move the freight and passengers safe and comfortable.
You wrote: What’s wrong with CP”
And the answer is “politics” and “money”.
It was all over the Calgary news (where I have lived for over 3 decades), how the CP Board of Directors wanted “more efficiency” and they went fishing stateside.
Calgary, where I have lived for 3 decades an a mature adult, is headquarters for CP.
HH wanted to “modernize operations”; which pleased the investors a great deal. Meanwhile, the morale went down, the locos were no longer spotlessly clean, but the classification yards were empty as HH wanted; meaning that trafic was flowing and not being held back; with longer trains and less crew change.
And more accidents.
To quote my father, who is a civil engineer and worked at CP during harrison's reign, "he was a heartless bastard but the man knew how to railroad"
Imagine pulling the Christmas train?People would go nut!
It's Called The Holiday Train Not The Christmas Train.
You somewhat called it.
@@thundersonic342 same thing!
I believe the first couple of minutes were taken during one of the first runs after over haul in Port Coquitlam, BC? I was very surprised this locomotive was not brought back to the rails after the Imax film they did on her. This is a beautiful locomotive and it needs to be under steam again.
When Hurricane Harrison died, this email circulated among many retired and active CPR employees: "Hunter is dead, best Xmas ever..." Sure glad I retired before he came around.
What?! Why?
Hey Keith! Whoa! Sweet looking military tribute units! So, are we going to see one of those behind the 2816 this spring/summer?
I love the whistle at 0:59
2022 UPDATE:
2816 is coming back
Sweet! I heard there was a team doing the recertification. Hopefully get to see her pull the Christmas train this year!
When?!
Maybe end of the year or early next year. Destination: Mexico!
Bravo Keith! Glad to see after all these years, 2816 is running again! Too bad this covid thing ruined the real plans of running her from town to town, but hey, there is always next year.
Check out announcement here:
trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2020/11/canadian-pacific-no-2816-to-steam-again-for-holiday-train-video
He also said that if the CP-KCS merger succeeds, 2816 will return. But it needs an overhaul first.
EDIT: it’s happening!
A person should not say bad things about the dead." Harrison is dead" ! " GOOD" !!!!!!!!!!
But, considering the damage his PSR "philosophy" were to the rail industry, can you blame his haters? Hell, they treat him as a modern-day robber baron!
With how fast the CPR management folded during the latest strike, we can only hope that the ghost of Harrison is loosing his influence! Keith, protege of the late E. Hunter Harrison, time to hire an exorcist and bid farewell to the remaining hauntings over at the Royal Canadian Pacific Pavilion, and get a crew together to get 2816 back on the rails! Perhaps you may get her ready in time for Canada's 151st birthday!
Beautiful steam engine. But that diesel in tow sure is ugly.
they couldve been towing the streamlined diesels
Well, folks, our wish came true!
So i notice this Hudson 2816 has an interesting upper and lower crosshead design, but the Royal Hudson 2860 (Famous Vancouver excursion train) has the standard upper rail only design. Extrapolating, the magnificent Selkirk class, sorta the big brother of the Hudsons, has the standard one rail crosshead design, I'd a thought that beefy 2 rail design would've been incorporated into the Selkirks?! Can anyone shed some light on this?
Hunter Harrison killed the majority of the small industry in my county by taking away rail services (easy to say the lines aren't profitable when the railroad is refusing to service customers). Then making it impossible for short line operators to afford to purchase or lease the rails being abandoned. Putting hard working people out of work so his stock will go up, I hope he's frying ice in hell.
(lol)
Moparmadman69 - Well, it’s been a couple years since Hunter croaked, and CSX had to scale back some of his plans. Turns out you can’t just fire everyone and expect a railroad to run properly. Who knew. The delays his “precision railroading” caused were so bad the US government started to worry it was going to damage the national economy. A lot of shippers were forced to pay top dollar for truckers because the rail cars weren’t moving.
Richard Anderson's worse
its a sad thing i would love to see her back on the rails again i got a free ride through the kicking horse cannon back atleast 4-5 years agao loved chasing her through bc
Anthony Smith damn you’re some kinda of special “ with a capital R “
Hey Keith, what’s going on with the 2816? I see you guys are scrapping some old heavy weights in Coquitlam, for parts for the heritage program. Where is the 2816?
I'm going to go see it on April 15 this year (2018)
I've missed seeing it a lot
Railfan487, must be for the rapido party eh? While you are there, try and talk some sense into some of the CP big wigs if they happen to be around!!!
if they are there oh I will
Take a BIG hammer with ya!!
bluesky4591 10-4
What she is being fired up again?
Canadian Pacific 4-6-4 Locomotive 2816
5:05 [train air whistle]
6:17 [train chugging] 12:24 [train chugging]
It's a 4-6-4.
The good part of it all, is that the loco belongs to Canadian Pacific and not some railroad museum.
And, as such, she is treated as anartifact and carefully store indoors at theCPR headquarters in Calgary.
Some day, she may return to the rails; the CPR empire now extends to Mexico.
BUT
It’s doubtful that she will again be used on excursion service; the insurance rates are too prohibitive.
Personally, I am lookng forward to her return some day and looking forward to it as a Calgarian.
One never knows.
It all depends upon the occasion.
Consider here that, while she is on the rails, she is eating CPR money, which could be earned by a mile-long freight train, which could be occupying the rails where she would be running at the time.
In so many words, if she runs again, it will have to be an extremely special CPR commemorative occasion.
With selected passengers; mostly brass collars.
Hey Keith! Take a page out of the UP’s playbook! They will soon have the big boy no doubt pulling a modern freight just because it can! Like the challenger did!
Wouldn’t it be nice to see a museum Selkirk fired up pulling a long train along the prairies because it can? In the mountains would be asking too much. Modern diesels do that job well without adding power. Plus, wouldn’t want to disrupt CP’s timetable too much. The Selkirk sitting in the museum that lent out its whistle to 2816 was practically new when retired.
Get 2816 on the road!
th-cam.com/video/7g3-q2lhQas/w-d-xo.html
They just got her blowing his whistle first time in almost 60 years 4014 sends chill up my spine listening to him waking up
3985 was pulling trains because they were power short. Creepy Keith is as bad if not worst the EHH when it comes to steam. Plus 2816 need a new boiler and 3 mill in rebuilds
Unfortunately 3985 was retired by the UP in January 2020.
Hunter Harrison: The most despicable person ever to inhabit this planet.
As someone who observed and photographed the steam locomotives of the New York Central when they were in regular service, I would give that "honor" to Al Perlman, the president of the NYC from about 1954. He sent every one of the NYC's 275 Hudson engines and 27 Niagara engines to the torch.
Hippy(Bboomer) The shareholders might have liked Harrison, but many of the employees and customers did not. Trains magazine gave his legacy mixed reviews. While he was good at cost cutting and maximizing profits, he was not seen as a visionary who could grow the company.
What about Hitler?
@@Toledo1940 this to this day just kills me. Hudson’s, Mohawks, F-12’s, Niagara’s, H class mikes, K class Pacifics, everything torched with little to show for their legacy. It’s why I make such a strong effort to collect and video or photograph my NYC models to at least try keeping its legacy alive.

Hey Keith! Awesome job with the heritage painted units! Glad to see CP hop on the bandwagon! Hunter is probably spinning in his grave seeing you guys spend the shareholders profits on such a frivolous venture!
So, um, where’s the 2816?
I hope he considers it soon.
She's in storage
Yes, we know. He keeps writing these comments so someone brings back 2816.
@@davidng2336 yeah hopefully the empress will steam once again and it will indeed happen
EvanF1293 I only give you a thumbs down because of the fact that she’s in storage!
Awesome
OK I live near the waterfront station but I never spotted this steam train near it and it carries the cars of the westcoast express can someone tell me whats going on????
Greg Tiderington, that footage was filmed many years ago. The west coast express cars event was a charity run to help break the engine in after her rebuild. All through the early to late 2000's, the cpr used this engine as a roving ambassador along its lines across Canada and the United States. Thanks to Hunter Harrison, it was sidelined indefinitely and sits in Calgary as a museum piece. Since hunter moved on to destroy CSX, his prodigy Kieth Kreel has done nothing to revive the CPR steam program. Now that Harrison is dead, perhaps the puppet strings that he still had over the Cpr after his departure have been severed, and the 2816 can once again roam the rails. Keith Creel, show us your severed strings!!!
and that means that 614 could run again too
It does have an automatic lubricator, right?
What is the silver wheel in front of the engineer 🤔
The valve gear trim adjustment to allow more or less steam through to the cylinders. Also, this will move all the way one direction for the reverse yoke to put the engine in reverse. I’m not a steam “engineer” but I believe this to be an accurate description.
Ding dong the wicked old witch is dead!
Kevin Kostyshin why doesn't Canadian pacific give 2816 to the Strasburg railroad to be operated until Canadian Pacific steam program gets up & running again
I don't know. It would be nice to see her running again
@@jmream2618 why the Strasburg? She is better on the mainline and owned by a company that runs her on home country then a tourist railroad
2816 Productions Strasburg is not just a tourist /Freight railroad they also run freight 4 Norfolk Southern to deliver
@@jmream2618 I know but I think 2816 deserves to stay home in Canada
hope 2816 will get to steam again one day
EvanF1293, we all can only wish....
That wish has come true
I encourage everyone who watches this video to contact CP with their concerns about this at the following website:
www.cpr.ca/en/contact-us/general-contact-form
What kind of whistle is that right next to the smoke box
This was a secondary whistle added that was borrowed from a Sellkirk locomotive at a museum in Ontario.
It is an air activated Super heated steam whistle that cannot be “played” like the original one that is located close to the cab. Apparently the one close to the cab was too loud for the crew. That’s the rumor I heard. Plus, the super heated steam whistle is a lot louder for crossing warnings.
HARRISON WHY YOU DO THIS TO A PRICE OF HISTORY!!!!! AND EVEN YOU TOO CANADIAN PACIFIC RAIL!!!
Bonnie SFM Because he's an idiot only concerned about the shareholder's bottom line!
Harrison sucks
Kevin Kostyshin if this was still in service I imagine it running side by side with up 844
Are these clips of 2816 in 2017?
CPR Works / Trainzsp4449 No, these were taken shortly after her restoration and tours in the early 2000's. When Hunter Harrison became leader of the CPR, the steam program was shelved indefinitely. Now it's up to Keith Creel to resurrect the steam program to its former glory!!! I urge you to share this video and write to the CPR and send links of this video to the CPR and Keith Creel.
Hmm yes I read about how a railroad magazine felt about what he did to csx with all the cost cutting, in summery you can only cut soo much money and people before you shoot yourself in the foot, and shops that are closed you loose the skills to do the specific work when it is needed during times when business picks back up, and second your customer service suffers, and once something is taken down its harder then heck to rebuild it should it be needed put back in such as double tracking or facilities, the regulations are ridiculous, its often cheaper to maintain and sustain then it is to put new up, same is true with customers, keeping old ones is easier and cheaper then trying to attract new to a business, and takes way more effort.
Well, the US government is "encouraging" to scale back, if not abandon PSR, due to a certain derailment in Ohio on NS...
So, watching the big boy videos, and reading the comments. A common comment would come up often: “never in my lifetime would I ever think to see a big boy running the rails once again!” I tip my hat to the hard working steam crew of the Union Pacific.
So, I say this with great sadness, never in my lifetime would I ever see a Selkirk locomotive running. Too young to have ever seen them before, and sadly, probably would never see one run at all.
Keith, do you hear the subtle point I am trying to make? Well, do ya?
Where’s the 2816?
Oh, here she is:
m.th-cam.com/video/fWcJJDmRduc/w-d-xo.html
I would hope in the rest of my lifetime, I would see the 2816 run again! Oops, meant to say, I don’t think I will ever see her run again.........
I say the same for UP 3985. Ed Dickens, the manager of the UP Steam Program, has stated that there will never be another operating Challenger.
@@davidng2336 milk aged comment
@@voidjavelin23 yes because now we know 3985 is under restoration at the RRHMA and 2816 is running again.
Is it still in service?
Bonnie SFM No, it's sitting like a museum piece at Calgary's headquarters. E hunter Harrison was and is renowned for not liking steam locomotives. He put the steam program at the CPR on hiatus while he was in charge. It is up to us to get this message out, and pressure the new leader Keith Creel to re-activate the steam program at the CPR. Please share this video with as many people as you can! Thanks.
I feel like crying and how sad that is
I take it the diesel locos are doing most the work?
2816 is missing parts where’s the rest of its steps on the front
Is it going to run again
Jimmy Bowers, I have no clue. You would have to ask Keith Creel, cpr leader. Only he knows the answer to this...
So where is she now?
Texas and Pacific, under lock and key at the CP head office in Calgary Alberta. Been sitting there idle, under cover thankfully, since Harrison was in charge. Since Hunter’s departure and movement to CSX, Keith has done nothing to get her going again. Now that Harrison has been dead for a while, was hoping the curse would be lifted.
Same
Where was that at 516
Where was that at 5:16
Lake Errok
Wait, I heard 2816 is running agian.
It is. The CPR is producing a movie for a holiday special, I mean Christmas Special, that will be streamed live. They are doing this because the Christmas train was canceled this year because of Covid.
@The Life of Jason, no idea. If no Covid next year, and Keith is in a good mood, perhaps we’ll see it next Christmas
😀😀😀😀😀😀
Why did cpr 2816 have 2 whistles since 2005 till 2011
1. 6 chime
2. 5 chime
The Union Pacific is just now implementing Hunter Harrison shitty principals...
You know for a fact that steam locomotive loving employees and fans of CPR steam were throwing fuck tons of parties.
Why did 2816 have 2 whistles in 2004 to 2011
Riley Sanesh, 2 reasons why she has 2 whistles currently:
1. When the overpaid whiny cpr executives rode in the cab, the original placement whistle close to the cab (which itself is not original, was changed in Steamtown) was too loud for delicate ears. Somehow I find it hard to believe the crew actually operating the locomotive would whine, but hey, the generations of men today are not as tough as generations past. Plus, we have decibels aloud in the workplace rules and such nowadays - too many rules.
2. The too loud for the “cab crew” whistle was ironically not loud enough to meet standards for decibel warning levels for rail crossings and such. Plus, that whistle is operated by an on/off air actuated lever or button that was used on the more later cpr steam locomotives. Wouldn’t want that engineer’s arm to get tired pulling that cord all day! In fact, that whistle, mounted up front and using high pressure steam unlike the other whistle, was “borrowed” from the late 40’s built Selkirk at the museum in Quebec Canada.
Kevin Kostyshin I know what that means why did 2816 have 2 whistles they put the other whistle on so they can check and see how it works
I like her whistle close to the cab. That’s what makes her sound like an Empress.
She have 6 chime and 5 chime
Was E Hunter Harrison the CEO of the CPR?
imagreatbigman Yes, he was. And the CPR steam program was sidelined pretty much the whole time he was in charge!
he's dead now............
AND CSX
imagreatbigman Yes. And prior to that he was at CN.
Loud steam dynamo.
William Roberts, that’s because there’s two of them.
no different with 4014
Where is 2816 now please
ottovonmaybach, it is sitting in Calgary on static display at CPR's head office. I don't think it is available for public viewing, but I could be wrong.
Shame on the CPR!!!

Kevin Kostyshin dont say shame on CP she is in good hands, at Train Expo (a model train show) in 2816's resting area and calm down
have you did a petition kevin
This is my petition. The more views and comments, the more Keith will have to realize how important it is to celebrate the heritage of our country with some class.
@@dmbpify OK i don't know if a railway CEO would have time to watch 2816 videos on you tube but if you can go to Calgary and show this video to some one who knows Keith and can pass it down to him it could work however i highly recommend you make a petition reason being if you just tell Keith to look at the video's comment section he might not have the time to look at the entire thing and would just brush it off but if you present to him with a petition including the video he might look at the petition first then he can look at the video comment section and their may be an 80% chance he might approve this thanks to how professional it looks. it has been a few years since 2816 stopped running and now is the time to make change so what are you waiting for.
freedom loving loyalist, the video link has been emailed to countless departments at CPR headquarters and to its website contact form.
I would be willing to bet that Keith has seen it or has been ribbed around the office as a roving joke for some time that a “foamer” won’t leave him alone.
I believe Hunter was Keith’s father in law, so that could explain the delay in his actions to really get the steam program up and running, as he seems to care a little about 2816 being seen in photographs with it and a painting of it in his office. But, i’m afraid the real reason nothing has come of it is of the morale of the former steam program employees being shot down by Hunter, and any willingness to get anything going again just wouldn’t be in the employees interest. And, they have probably moved on with other directions in their careers.
If anything, a formal apology by Keith to the employees of the CPR of hunters actions might be enough to lift morale back again. Keith has been quoted as wanting to put CP back on the right track.
have you mentioned regarding what union pacific did to 4014s restoration
@@dmbpify i have an idea what about going to a railroad convention so you can meet him in person and talk about 2816

This video is pretty mickey mouse
Hey Keith!
th-cam.com/video/u4Hv7_Z4ypA/w-d-xo.html
Hunter Harrison, the Trump of railways?
yup
to bad what a beuty a lot cheaper to run than diesel.
Don't kid yerself! But ya gets what ya pays for!
Lets not forget Diesels saved the Railways. If they hadn't come along and we were stuck with the inefficient Steam engines Railways would most likely have been history many years ago! Could never understand why some rail fans bash Diesels. You don't hear Aviation fans calling down Jets and saying that the prop driven planes were better. It's very childish!
do you mind if I ask why you refer to ehh as a liberal?
Don’t think I said that, but hey, Liberals are the strong arm of cancel culture, soooo…….
personally I don’t think there’s as much to do with politics as much as it does with some old dude being an unlikable prick
Hey Keith! The UP is running a steam engine in the snow!!!
If you guys get your act together, perhaps we could see 2816 in the middle of a Canadian winter pulling the Christmas train by let’s say maybe next Christmas eh?
Just imagine all the crazy left wing environmental nut job emails you would get complaining about the “cold enhanced” visual steam/exhaust pollution adding all that plastic to our oceans!
