In the Railway Productions version of 2816's Biggest Transcontinental Journey from Canada to Mexico with 14 camera crews: 6 in America including angles by Brady Sanker & Randy Scholl (brother of the late Greg), & 8 in Mexico, there are lots of trackside action with the 1930 built Hudson as well as scenes from the sky with a drone. Along the way, there are stock footages from other shows including 2816 in 2006, & KCS the Heavener Subdivision from 2021/2022, as well as other road names like Metra Commuter Rail for instance. The only piece of music from Mike Lynch that was used in this program, was the full extended version of downtown Santa Fe New Mexico that was from America By Rail: Route of the Southwest Chief from 1997 during the closing credits. While Les Jarrett provided the Narration for the English version, the Spanish dub was told by Mrs. Daniella Montellano. Besides Railway Productions, other producers like Jim Parfrey of Steam Train Videos, & Mary McPhearson of Diverging Clear Productions was also on 2816's transcontinental trip.
