In 2004 Canadian Pacific Railway brought it's complete "Royal Canadian" tour train to the US for the "kentucky Derby" It was pulled by FP7 1400, FP9B 1900, FP9A 1401 and GP38-2 # 3084 here we seen the train departing out the "A" yard or Arrivial yard lead at Bensenville,IL. Then through the fence at the now demolished ACE hardware and McDonalds we see the Spaulding Patrol going West with the SOO 4514. Then we continue with the chase up York Road. And finish at the UP connection at Bryn Mawr. And it should also be noted that all three of the "F" units are currently out of service in Canada.Special thanks go to CPR Conductor Ron Ruhl for driving the chase truck and to CPR yardmaster Steve Tenny for letting us chase this historic movement.
