Canadian Pacific 2816: The Final Spike Tour Day Two 5/6/24

Off to Chicagoland!
After spending the night in Portage, Wisconsin, CPKC's Final Spike Steam Tour got underway again to head towards their next stop in Bensenville, IL where they would layover for the night and tomorrow until their next event in Franklin Park on Wednesday.
In this video you'll see Canadian Pacific 2816 speed through the Wisconsin Countryside with train 40B in tow, as well as some scenes in downtown Milwaukee and in familiar locations like Rondout and Des Plaines, Illinois, even managing to see a UP Local with a pair of Geeps in charge. All culminating in 2816 performing a shoving move at B17 Tower in Bensenville before being put away for the night before another day of being out on the mainline. Enjoy!
CPKC 40B's Power:
CP 4-6-4 #2816 The Empress
