CP 2816 "Empress" Highballing Southbound At Airdrie

Witnessed the amazing CP 2816 "Empress" steam locomotive pulling an excursion train, while on its return trip from Edmonton. CP 2816 is a 4-6-4 Hudson type steam locomotive, built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1930. The train has been restored fairly recent, and has been in the testing stages, before it departs to Mexico CIty in April to honour CPKC's 1 year anniversary. Enjoy the video!
