- CP 2816 is Alive! and being tested for the proposed historic run from Calgary to Mexico City starting in April 2024.
This video is to reflect the Southern Alberta Prairies with its terrain and variable "climatic conditions" (Dust, Heat, Wind etc.), with a mix of distance shots and closeups. The aim is to also highlight the work of the entire "2816 Steam Crew", seen and not seen.
Due to short notice and a prior commitment, I was only able to chase CP2816 from Calgary to Okotoks on Day 1. Day two: I was able to chase 2816 from Nobleford to Blackie. This was a "Trial Run" for me with totally new camera and audio setup; so please forgive the "wind noise" and other related technical issues.

It brings me joy to see more steam returning! Proud of you Canada! Keeping our shared steam heritages alive!! :)
the rail road expanded the US west and tied canada together as a nation. there needs to be more of these babies out there showing our respective populations what brought our countries to where they are now. not enough people know the history and our countries are worse off for it.
I can't wait to catch this beauty when she comes down to Texas
The legend returns.
Do you mean the UA-camr, or the 2816? Both are definitely legends, and it's great to have both of them back.
@thompsonriverrailfan I meant the youtuber, but I guess at the same time, I should also include the train. They are both legendary.
I've always loved the unique design of Canadian steam locomotives
Glad another one back under steam!
Welcome back 2816!
She’s back!!!!!!😊
This footage, editing, the whole package: ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY! Thank you so much for putting in all this effort and time to produce something that means so much to so many!
This is simply amazing. The quality is great, the camera shots are also great.
38:08 GIVE THIS MAN AN OSCAR FOR THAT PACING. TOP FREAKING NOTCH!!!
Looking and sounding spectacular!
Nice to see the Smoky Smith car. I have that car on my HO scale Layout! Pulled by a Rapido HO scale Royal Hudson. Great to see one running again.
Just ran across the video. Have seen 2816 and cars many times go by very near our place SE of Alderside. Always exciting. Saw the train as it went by our place the day it went south. Great technical video.
I'm sure there was a drone shot in there which was fabulous. Thank you for the effort. !
No Drones were used in the making of the video.
Us USA Midwest People Thank You For The Footage! I Can't Wait Till Next Year When It Stops In/Comes To Kansas City. I Live An Hour From There. 🚂 🎉
Pleased to see steam not being forgotten in Canada. I just missed steam when I lived in Montreal in 1963/4.
Just got back from a tour of steam railways in North Wales - that's the place to see a lot of wonderful steam railways in a smallish area. It rains a lot though.
This is such amazing filming from close up shot of sidings to best spots to video at!
Spectacular footage!
Congratulations to the whole team: and to my friend Jordy an engineer on the tour!

Talk about a spit shine! She’s a beauty!!
We need 2860 now so we can double header.
Great video and thanks for uploading this video! 😊
Thanks, I’ve been waiting for this.
Beautiful locomotive! Excellent video! Thank you!
Awesome catches great chase and nice video
1st time i ever seen a steamer with ditch lights 😅
Beautiful video! Thanks!
That’s beautiful.
return of the king
What a beauty!
Healthy sounding engine
Many thanks for posting a very fine video without any overhead wires for electricity collection
Excellent video, magnificent train!
Already have my designated spot to railfan. I believe it will come through Milwaukee.
Thank God CP 2816's back and E. Hunter Harrison is no longer in the picture.
The legendary empress is back. She's been steamed up by CPKC as they kept their promise. She's still a legendary steam locomotive. I can't wait for her Transnational tour. The yard is where they store their CP Holiday Train cars until it's time for them to be on the move.
Lookin' good.
Well this channel is back up and running. 😂
Cool!
I don't consider wind noise (in this case) a technical issue. It's part of the environment being filmed, we can't feel the wind; but if it's there and not overpowering it is fine IMHO. Great work!
Sorry, I see you haven't had the "experience"... Wind Noise is a major "Technical" issue. Unprotected camera mics pick up even the slightest breeze and Southern Alberta is known for it's WIND!
Hope to see her States side soon.
And they got an F unit for the electrics! Well done! (Can't stand when they use modern growlers for that role)
Agreed! However dynamic braking save wear and tear on 2816. That is what UP. Does with 4014.
She still have her journal bearings or roller bearings? She journal box casting are still there I believe
She sure is pretty.
Well done! Thank you. Is there videof lighting the fire for the firstime since the locomotive was retired? Sad to see "ditch lights" improperly added to the locomotive. Burning fuel oil? Natural gas? Sounds like a Chinese whistle sounded by and electric valve.
The only running Hudson in the area
Прекрасный поезд-ретро. ❤😊
Sweeeeeeeeeet
I love how the secondary whistle on 2816 sounds close to a diesel air horn! I wonder if that was intentional
It’s because the whistle is activated by pushbutton instead of the more traditional Whistle cord. There’s no variation in the pitch. Myself, I can’t stand push button activated Whistles, for exactly the same reason you like it, it sounds too much like an air horn
The deeper toned Whistle is a six Chime much like on the southern pacific, and is activated by a Whistle cord. So much better sounding when the engineer can vary the pitch by how the cord is manipulated.
THE EMPRESS LIVES!
Wow! What a grade at De Winton. Does that hill have a name??
Yes, De Winton Hill! 🙂
@@bobjohnson205 Thank you for the answer.
SIXTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNN!!! YOU'RE AWAKE!! HOW'S MY FAVOURTIE OLD GIRL TODAY!?!
What happened to 2816's auxiliary tender that they are borrowing 4449's instead?
Nothing happened to it. They just wanted two aux tenders for the tour
So when 2816 eventually embarks on that historic trip from Calgary Alberta, Canada to Mexico City, Mexico and return in April of 2024, will you eventually chase it the whole way in both directions or just for a few certain segments?
My respect to CPKC for bringing back the #2816: 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
@@STHSIndustries2K6 Heh. =3
Will this engine go through heavener Oklahoma?
@@dingusdingus2152 We'll see. :P
@@jimmyhook4852 thanks for prompt response. Happy trails!
Wow awesome footage. Where is this taken? Is this a tour steam train?
It's all in the description!
It’s it only me or does a steam locomotive with ditch lights look odd
That steam engine has ditch lights
Gorgeous engine. Is this a Royal Hudson?
2860 is the Royal Hudson. It is semi streamlined, compared to 2816.
Are you planning on chasing her in April when she departs Calgary?
(English trainspotter😊)
Will it go to galt/Cambridge?
Is the proposed April 2024 run going to be with passenger coaches? If so, how does one purchase this trip?
As far as I know, the trip is strictly for CP and KCS executive to celebrate the merger.
That's really beautiful. I hate the ugly diesel but I guess its the law now.
The diesel is there, because the steam engine cannot generate electricity for the train. It’s been a long time now since steam was piped to an entire passenger train to power everything. The Diesel is not providing any pulling power of all on a train like this.
Burning oil now
'Kinda fun to watch 7-9 guys scrambling on the ground doing what once took one, (1) guy back in the day. What do they all do???
I believe they are training multiple personal in preparation for the Mexico Trip
Is it just me or when I put 2816’s bell sound at 1.75x or 2x speed, it sounds like she had a pneumatic bell.
The audio was a "salvage" job to remove the wind noise from the camera microphones, I'm not sure what remaining effect it had onthe audio, yet alone speeded up
@@CP2816HD I was just using a UA-cam feature where I can speed the video up.
Put the play back speed at 2....
From Calgary, BC to Mexico City, Mex. How many miles is that?? Has to be over 3, 500 miles.
Using Google maps. I figure it's over 3956 miles
Calgary Alberta, not BC.
Why is it going to Mexico City? As a tourist train??@@CP2816HD
Almost notch 8?
So this locomotive has two different whistles 🤔🤔
20:38 HI CHRISTIAN!
❤❤❤ wonder if they still use wood or coal or changed it to oil? Love to these back🎉🎉🎉
Converted by the CPR to oil many, many decades ago.
2024? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Hey, it's to make sure that the locomotive is ready for it.
Plus also to make sure it is PTC equipped.
I guess they're only allowed to operate the 2816 at the maximum freight train speed (60mph in most of Canada) when on CPKC track. Correct?
Should edit out the scenes that are so distant
That's the difference between you and I (Ooops, you have no videos). What are you looking at? It's not just about the CP2816 herself; it's the about the scenery, terrain and atmospheric conditions she travels through! There is NO "story" to a video of a subject on it's own. Post your own videos before you comment on others.
The whistle sounds awful.
A result of onboard camera mics, WIND and post-processing to attempt to remove the wind
When Will CPKC Steam Up 2860?
Steampowerkahachaltahai.
I'm pretty sure that She'll need a double-beam headlight for running in the US.
Historic locomotives are not required to have dual beam headlights
@@MatecaCorp is that true?
@@rudycarlson8245 Well from 2019 to 2021, Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 ran with a single beam headlight.
And that's to name one example btw. ;)
Video great but the audio lowest i've ever heard, to bad . The whistle is not what i remember (Solenoid controlled??!! ,no slowly opening and closing valve or does the engineer or fireman need training. As a former member of the Canadian Railroad Historical Association this takes away what it should sound like. How come the U S A knows how
This was a "test run" for me, my external wind protected audio microphone "failed" and I was reliant on the onboard unprotected camera microphones. You may have noticed the wind in the video. I attempted to clean some of that "noise" in post; but I am only a guppy in audio processing. Please take into account the recording device and weather conditions. After twelve years CP2816 was running again, I got some video... I was Happy!
The trip was a "learning" experience... I have a bunch of work to do!
She has two whistles, one is off of a 2-10-4 Selkirk locomotive, operated by an air actuated valve and uses superheated steam, which is the one closest to the front of the boiler, and the other Is a six chime which is pullcord operated in front of the cab.
@@modemdog3649 All steam whistles should be operated by the cord operated valve which is how it gives steam engines character, someone should correct this fast, off- on steam whistles don't belong on this engine otherwise it sounds like crappy Chinese QJ whistle untiI Iowa Interstate 6988 was north Americanized. It could sound so sweet(This is a big turnoff)
As long as you're not going to be going over UP to get to Mexico City because you'll never be allowed to run on their track
?
? What it says it's going from up north to Mexico City I think it's got to go through the US to get there
Double head with 844 or 4014. Both of those units have Positive Train Control
That would work but what I was talking about is if you were going to run at solo over there track it would not be allowed. It would be quite of event just to be able to double head with one of them that I would want to see in person
Great video, but make sure tk zoom out when the train starts to get close. You don't want to crop any parts off.
Before you give any "advice", I politely suggest that you know what you're talking about. What lens or lenses are you using and are you actually filming trains? I have never been fast enough to zoom out when the approaching train is close even in the old high end camcorder days, even if it had a "Fisheye" lens. Above all what's YOUR Field of View when an object the size of a train is 5m away from you; how much can you see? Take a lesson in reality before you give "advice".. Words of wisdom from an old guy!
