The 2816 is returning back to Canada after completing its Final Spike Tour, and we'll see it running through the Midwest. The 2816 'Empress' is a classy steam engine built back in 1930, and kept in immaculate shape. Trailing behind it, was a pair of EMD FP9As, boxcar, and sleek passenger cars.
We'll chase the 2816 over a few days, and over hundreds of miles! Starting down in Iowa, we'll see it along the shores of a flooded Mississippi River. After capturing it at Waupeton, we'll see it again in Guttenberg, Harpers Ferry, Lansing, and other places along the line. Even with some street running, with barge traffic! After this, and a few days later, we'll chase it along the Paynesville Sub and watch it RACE west. In stark contrast to the first half of the video, the train made GREAT time in the morning sun.
Along the way, we'll see it crossing massive bridges, running in the rain, and kicking up lots of smoke! It was great to see the 2816 again; who knows when it'll be back!
