Watching this is making me more and more hyped for the tour. While I'll sadly be missing out on it, it's not stopping me from being excited for this tour happening within the next month.

Now how did I not know about this??? Always wanted to see one

Fantastic footage!

These test runs are leading up to what shall most likely be the biggest steam event of all three nations that this tour runs through. To my knowledge, no one has ever done it before, so this will likely make 2816 historically famous (like Flying Scotsman's 100mph record and the meeting at Promitory Point) in addition to her current popularity. It's also good to see Daylight 4449's auxiliary tender out and about, even with it being in CP colors. Interesting note: both auxiliary tenders are from articulated steam locomotives. 4449's is from SP 4219 (hence the tender's number) and the other one is from a Delaware and Hudson challenger.

Very cool video and enjoyed. Have a wonderful rest of your saturday.(Steve)

They are currently in Laredo Texas… They passed through South Texas yesterday.

Just saw the 2816 this past Tuesday rolling southbound through the town of Olds I was pretty surprised because I was not expecting it

I almost forgot about the tour. It will be one neck of a trip - from Canada all the way to Mexico. A d to think they've been doing shakedown runs for like what feels like a year now just to be sure she's ready to go. Crazy.

I keep pestering my relatives to find out if the 2816 will make another run through the Crowsnest Pass, if they did the last time seats were sold out.

Great stuff Rob!

Just regarding crossing bell sounds , I prefer the acual bell 🔔 , not the E type, cool train though
