Canadian Pacific Railway Switching At Nahant Yard, Davenport, Iowa. Flooded Streets & Steam Locomotive 2816, The Empress With Its Steam Train In Iowa. Look How Many Cars A Single Locomotive Can Move Flying Past A Railroad Crossing In LeClaire, Iowa! Have You Ever Had A Motel View Like This With Railroad Tracks Right There?! Most of this video was shot my first day there and part of it shows the steam train passing by on my second day. This is Part 1
First we see a train switching the Nahant railroad yard just south of Davenport, Iowa. The crewman can be seen switching the tracks and riding the train. The train then leaves the yard and we take a look at the flooded roads and the steam train that is sitting in the yard. I got a motel with a great view of this railroad line. That way I was guaranteed that I wouldn't miss the train on its early morning departure and I could watch a few trains pass by while I am trying to sleep. I give a quick tour of the motel room and filmed a train from the window.
On the way to the motel I filmed a northbound train pulled by a single locomotive. 3 trains passed during the night. I heard them on 160.770 and they use another frequency when they get past here. I forgot what it is so I will look it up and add it.
This video is mainly just for the railway shunting and to show my motel room at the Holiday Inn Express in LeClaire. Michelle at the front desk got me the room with the best view of the tracks. I noticed that people are requesting the other side of the building with the river view so getting a railroad view is easy and the parking lot on this side has plenty of empty spots. Win win.
I included the steam train in this video to show what I came to Iowa to film. This is a once in a lifetime event. The steam train is setting all kinds of records. The train left Canada a couple months earlier after running on its tracks across Canada. It then ran on their tracks all the way across the United States and into Mexico on their tracks down there. The train ran in 3 countries and it was on its final leg of the run back to Canada when I filmed it. The locomotive is 94 years old and is an oil burner. It was retired in 1960 and ran for a decade on tourist trains from about 2001 to 2011. It ran again in 2023 and is being used on the one year anniversary of the merger of Canadian Pacific Railway and Kansas City Southern Railroad to form the CPKC. There will be more on this steam train in my other videos. I will also have a video of Iowa Interstate Railroad crossing an 1895 bridge across the Mississippi River.
Filmed Sunday and Monday, June 30 and July 1, 2024 in 1080p with 60fps. Thanks for watching!
