Quite impressive there of Canadian Pacific 2816.

Beautiful locomotive! I hope the crew on this train "really likes it hot"! By the time they reach Texas and Laredo in particular and all the heat the steam locomotive generates. Oh, boy!

CP #2816 pulls up to Swift Current with two Auxiliary tenders

Awesome video, well done

Mr Broadfoot must be smiling. They're finally putting some miles on her.

The Ugly green and blue Hydrogen unit quit seen it was on there earlier

Get rid of the diesels all together. A steam train is just that. STEAM.

[@eliyahtherailfanner131]

Good that it got off, ruined the whole entire train.

[@thompsonriverrailfan]

​@@waynecarwile7486It's a liability issue so not bring along a diesel or two, plus the 2816 would never be able to pull this consist on her own.

[@thompsonriverrailfan]

It did not "quit", CP just didn't intend on bringing it all the way down to Laredo.

​@eliyahtherailfanner131 Just ruined your day didn't it😂

¿Está siendo ayudada por dos máquinas diesel?

[@paulzeigler7616]

Sweet.

[@70rrsteve51]

Is this train headed on a cross-country tour, or is it mainly a western thing? I’d take time to go see it if it came out to the Maritimes.

It's not in Canada anymore. It just went into North Dakota and will continue into Mexico before returning to Calgary.

Ain't #2816 a beauty?
