On April 26. 2024 Canadian Pacific 4-6-4 #2816 embarked on a monumental two and a half month trip - from Calgary to Mexico City and back - after Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern merged to form CPKC. In order to celebrate the new 3-nation railroad, #2816 led the Final Spike Tour across the Canadian prairies, south through the central part of the United States, and finally into Mexico. The locomotive was restored to operation specifically for this trip - an unprecedented 8,000-mile adventure across the North American continent.
This program chronicles the last leg of the Final Spike Tour in July, as "The Empress" traveled from Davenport Iowa back to CPKC headquarters in Calgary Alberta. On July 1st. #2816 left Davenport running north along the Mississippi River to Minneapolis. Then on the 3rd, the train continued north to Thief River Falls Minnesota, and the following day ran to Winnipeg. After a stop in Winnipeg, we'll rejoin #28l6 in Brandon Manitoba on July 8ch for the last three days across the Canadian Prairies. On the way back to Calgary the train made overnight stops in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan and Dunmore Alberta. This segment features a cab ride westbound out of Swift Current Saskatchewan on July 9th.
