The whistle toward the smokestack is a CPR standard 5 chime that came off of one of the 2-10-4 Selkirks. That whistle was added when the locomotive was restored to operation and is used to clear tracks, since projects noise better. The one toward the cab is a CPR 6 chime, which she wore at the time the locomotive was acquired by the railroad from Steamtown. IIRC, the latter whistle is what she would’ve used in revenue service.
28:16 is a fitting length for a video about the Empress!
I was just about to say that. 😅
I’m hoping 2816 will run more often after this, not just this one time. But it depends on what CPKC does.
Good Morning Fan Railer I like watching trains my self 👍😎🌞
What is that whistle?

I think that you'd get more views on this if your title said Canadian Pacific rather than just CP.
