I was one of the unfortunate souls on the overpass that evening. The dang freights just kept coming each time the engine moved!! LOL! But the steamer managed to make several appearances in between the intermodal containers, so we weren't totally blocked off.
It's so interesting to see a Hudson on the mainline in a country where preserved steam on the mainline is primarily Northerns (there are other classes but we seem to have more Northerns preserved and operational than other classes). She looks so small compared to what I'm used to seeing on RUclips!
The next event is on the 28th in Laredo, TX, so I'd imagine it's heading there. Final leg of the southbound tour is Mexico City. Check it out on their website.
@@Xander-m1w We were so pissed! Had a great time though. It was funny that one of the reasons they left late was because they couldn’t get the damn gate opened!

I was there earlier in the day, it was super cool to be able to see both 2816 and 9375 that day!

It's not what size your steam locomotive is that matters it's how you use it! 😉
Nice video! I was down there mid-afternoon.
anow where is 2816 going to now.

Nice!
Awesome! When was this taken?
Two days ago. It's currently south of Joplin, MO headed to Havener, OK to layover on it's way down to Shreveport, LA
While on tour, do you know if the CPKC has any particular target time to depart from their overnight stops?
@sclm046 yep! Their schedule is on their website along with a train tracker map thing for 2816! Check it out, it's pretty cool!
Nice CP 2816 Steam Engine With CP 9375 CPKC Scheme Power
Glad your shot turned out nice. I was up on the overpass and got blocked by the intermodal. Lot of angry people up there
I saw the bridge angle and you guys were so unlucky! I would've been so pissed 😆

@BMMEC6000 oh damn! Kinda glad that happened though, I had to work late that day and didn't get into KC until like 730PM lol
@@BMMEC6000 so the reason i got screwed by darkness at bluff road is because they couldn't figure out how to open a gate?
Will 9735 be in Shreveport?
I have no idea. I didn't even know it was going to be in KC till I got there and saw it lol
I just saw it heading through Neosho, MO about an hour ago and it had 1401 and 4107 in tow. 9375 was not in the consist.
@@firestormflicks835 I think you mean 9375.
@@bobjohnson205 yup, sure did!
