CPR 2816 in Grandview, Missouri (featuring BNSF and UP) 6/25/2024

On June 25th, 2024, Canadian Pacific 2816 “The Empress” headed from Heavener, Oklahoma to Kansas City, Missouri during its trip home from Mexico City to Canada during its Final Spike to commemorate the merge of two railroads: Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern.
I decided to go view it pass through Grandview, MO. After watching the tracker all day it was finally time to go trackside at about 7 PM where I waited for around 2 Hours to see the steam locomotive pass by. It seems a Northbound Union Pacific empty coal was slowing down the Empress. When that train reached Grandview it had to hold for a Burlington Northern Santa Fe loaded coal train to come south and clear the single track line. After both those trains cleared 2816 snuck in behind and held at a red signal for a couple minutes until the signal turned yellow and it slowly crept its way out of Grandview northbound towards KC.
Note: I am just a normal person with an iPhone, so the footage is slightly crooked or jerky at times. I did my best to hold it as level as possible.
