Canadian Pacific 2816: Steaming Across the South

For the very first time in over a decade, Canadian Pacific 2816 returned to the mainline to commemorate the 1 year anniversary of the CPKC merger. The tour originated in Calgary, Alberta and will continue on to Mexico City, Mexico before heading back north. This is the very first time a non UP steam locomotive has traversed the KCS since 2006 and the very first time that 2816 has ever traversed this territory and terrain. Here is my 3 days of chasing 2816 for the very first time with some friends including the display event on Friday. All locations are in chronological order from start to finish.

Thank you!! I'm sorry in advance for the shakiness in the entire video, my phone definitely does not like the heat and it was messing with my camera a lot up until the departure from Shreveport

37:21 Singer, LA. That place almost burned to the ground last summer. That was a scary wildfire!

I remember that 😬
