In this presentation, we follow the Canadian Pacific company business train for the first two days of it's journey from Calgary, AB to Fernie, BC.
After Fernie, the train ran to Lethbridge, AB and then the day after back to Calgary where the train was tied down and put away until it's next assignment.
This video is full of history of the Royal Canadian Pacific, and even features some exclusive footage in some cars from the RCP fleet!
Watch through to the credits to see some of my favorite deleted scenes from the trip that didn't quite make their way into the main presentation.

A truly beautiful train.
The planet’s finest.
I worked on this train, for a season, 20 some years ago. I was very blessed to be able to experience all of the magic. The level of service, from the 5 course meals, the attentive, informed and engaging service staff, to the incredible scenery. The history and beautiful craftsmanship of the cars was more than enough to take you to a different time. After turndown service and our 24 guests were tucked away for the night, I spent quite a few nights on the vestibule with a brandy or a fine glass of wine, reveling in the stars and the beauty.
PS. I also worked my a$$ off! 16 hour days!!
Example: Carrying trays of champagne flutes on a moving train! Quite a skill I might add!
In 1961 our family rode the Canadian when moving from Calgary to Winnipeg (Army Life) and back to Calgary in 1967. I enjoyed the dome cars, a real treat.
This has to be one if your best productions yet. The RCP is a fantastic example of how a luxury train should be done. The wood working on the inside alone is enough to blow your mind besides the beautiful exterior.
Also I appreciate the information on the locomotives as I did not know what happened to 1400 after she was retired.
Great job Rob!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked the video!
The RCP has always been one of my favorite trains. Though many railfans and train enthusiasts know of it, they don't know much about it which is a shame because it's a train full of history and wonder.
Very cool video of the Canadian Pacific RCP. I'm watching this video now for two-and-a-half years and it has not burned me up. Keep up the hard work.
My husband and i had the pleasure and experience of going from Palliser in Calgary to Fairmont. B.C. on her in early 2000s with the company he worked for at the time.
This will always one of my core memories. Its what I think the Titanic would have looked like if it was a train. 🤩
The RCP is such a unique train, I've only seen this train go by twice, such a rare experience that I wish I get to see more often.
Love this vid!
Thanks! It's an awesome train.
After 60 years of photographing trains trackside; first in Central Canada and now out of Calgary since 1983, I can only find 1 word to describe your excellennt video, for content and editing:
WOW !!
Thank you very much!
Such an inspiring and admirable video, remembering those places I visited just some days ago, and of course watched some trains. I had returned home, but I'm wishing to come back as soon as life permits!
So glad you enjoyed it! British Columbia is a beautiful province, and watching trains while visiting makes it even better.
Nicely done and produced video on the RCP. Thanks for your work on this
Absolutely stunning! I've just started watching your videos and the first one was the Holiday Train. Then the War Years and now this one! Wow! Thank you so much; job well done! 😊
LOVE IT!! Being HONEST here!!!!!! liked and subscribed!!!!!
Thank you very much!
Great job on this documentary, very well done. I recognized many of the spots included in this video which brought back great memories of railfanning. Keep up the good work.
Thanks you! Glad to hear it brought back good memories for you, I had lots of fun making it!
Perfect, just perfect. Loved every bit of it, thanks for the great RCP 2020 movie Rob!
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed it!
WoW! What wonderful memories. I was a private secretary to the Vice President back in the '60's and travelled with he and other seniors in the bc Quebec, and bc Wentworth. Just wish I could step onbaord once again. Thanks so much for this video. Brian Ronayne.
Thanks! That's awesome! I too would like to ride this train, glad you enjoyed the video.
Amazing video! Great to see those Clean F units but I miss 2816 leading them lol
Thanks! At least 2816 is well looked after in Ogden
Great video! The RCP is so unique.
Thanks! It is indeed.
All Aboard ,, on my bucket list ,, Wonderful ,,, I'm coming aboard !
These are pretty cool I’m installing the flooring around these right now in the building where they keep them. They have a really cool steam locomotive there too
That's very cool! Ah yes, I'm very familiar with that steam loco.
Very well done production. I recently finished editing clips of the KCS Southern Belle business train and figured I'd search for some CP OCS footage since they're potential buyers. Very glad I found your channel. Excellent narration. Looking forward to more of your content!
Also interesting to me that the KCS and CP FP9s come from the same line of CN locomotives. Always figured the RCP ones were originally CP.
Thank you! That's awesome! I never knew KCS had a business train.
It's taking a little longer than expected, but I have a couple new videos on the way!
@@ghost_pine_film_productions I'm looking forward to it. The Belle is something else. Pride of the KCS fleet without doubt. I'll probably have the video of our recent chase uploaded tommorow if you're interested.
An EPIC passenger train Experience.
But only if you are affluent.
@@rdsieben Correct which is a shame indeed.
@@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp if you are ever in Panama ride the Panama Canal Railway. It is an epic tropical trip and the price? $25 US. one-way. A real bargain! I was in the dome car.
@@rdsieben Indeed!
I honestly had no idea there were any operating SP 3/4 domes. So freakin cool.
It is! CP did a fine job restoring it too.
Wonderful video! Very well done!
Excellent video and thank you for sharing. Managed to catch the RCP leaving the Poco yards east bound on its return to Calgary; Sept 8, 2021. On that trip #7019 was on the point, made for quite a neat consist.
Thanks!
That's awesome! I was able to catch it during its return on the 8th and 9th as well, sure was neat to see an ACU lead the train.
Great job on the video Rob.
Thanks!
This was amazing! I came here from ravenhawk6910, and I'm glad I did!
Thanks! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
@@ghost_pine_film_productions I wonder when cp 2816 will run again so it can pull the Royal Canadian Pacific
Excellent scenery, footage and historical information. 👍
But a lot of sections of video appear to be suffering from over compression causing "blockiness" which detracts from the beauty of the scenery like at 16:59 the hillside is flickering back and forth with compression blocks.
It could be the original video was not high bitrate enough to begin with and then add in RUclips compression on top of it made it worse.
Yes, that was a product of sub-par equipment. I was filming using a Sony cx405 Handycam and editing on a computer that could barely handle Microsoft Word lol. But those days are behind us, having upgraded to proper 4K gear and editing equipment in late 2021.
Glad you enjoyed the video though, even with its defects.
Hi my name is John beautiful video do you think 2816 will become operational if the kcs merger is approved thanks I also just found your channel and subscribed
Thank you for a great video. Where can one finding pricing and schedules for this train?
For more info on the train you visit their website at www.royalcanadianpacific.com
At 8:45 you mention that 1400 went to Ogden park in Calgary, I searched for it but couldn't find it, even on google maps I was unable to locate. Can you give a link or some further information on it, I would like to visit this summer.
It's at CPs headquarters at Ogden in Calgary, Alberta. 1400 and 29 are on static display beside the CP Police building. If you do go for a visit, you'll likely have to take photos from your car because it's on CP property.
The reason you can't find them on Google is because they weren't there when they were taking photos for maps/earth. The police building is still under construction, and only one of the tracks is in place with neither 29 or 1400 in the photos.
Here is a link to where the locos are:

How do you know all the sub divisions and trains? Do you have a website or something because I can only find the names of Albertan ones on the Albertan government website
Many of the subdivision timetables in Canada can be found on www.traingeek.ca. Also, published annually is an updated version of the subdivisions, train symbols, train routes and more of CP and CN in a book called the "Canadian Trackside Guide". I recommend purchasing a copy if you can, it's very helpful.
Wait, So the RCP diesel locomotives were originally owned by Canadian National? Seems a little weird for CP to buy them. It's not like all original CP F units are totally gone?
Where are you
Great video but work on your pronounciation of "Calgary". Its main syllable stress is on the latter part of the word and not the front like you are saying. The Cal- part of Calgary is stressed (where you stress the accent), not -gary.
Why didn't you explain 3084
Because I didn't have any footage of it, and it's not really part of the RCP fleet anymore.
That music? Ugh
All very posh and historical, but true history has public access. This is a private business, and obviously open only for profit to the company. SHAME, SHAME. And, who authorized the prefix 'Royal', as royal assent should be acknowledged.
Rodney Vancouver Island
Could you please learn to pronounce the name Calgary correctly. Also use Canadian English pronunciation of the word toute
CP officials riding a train as "Royalty"........pathetic when Canadians are struggling to buy groceries.....these idiots are not royalty.....its the hard working Canadians that built this railway and not some nitwit officials that never lifted a shovel to build this railway.....let the employees ride the train free instead and let the so called "royalty" serve those that actually built this train and the railway
