STEAM Locomotive Pulling Special Passenger Train In The Middle Of The Street! Street Running Freight Train With 3 Kansas City Southern Locomotives & 4th Locomotive DPU In The Middle! Empress Steam Train On The Final Spike Tour For The Canadian Pacific Kansas City Southern Railroad ( CPKC ). The train is street running in 2 different towns and there are several freight trains included in the video.
This steam locomotive is called the Empress. It is a 94 year old oil burner that was retired from service in 1960. The locomotive was restored by CPKC to celebrate the one year anniversary of the merger of Canadian Pacific Railway and Kansas City Southern Railroad. Both railroads were Class One railroads. There were 7 Class One railroads and now there are 6 with the merger.
The Final Spike Steam Tour started in Calgary, Canada on April 24, 2024. The train ran all the way across the USA and down to Mexico City where it arrived on June 7, 2024. The train started the return trip on June 9, 2024. I filmed it in Iowa on July 1, 2024. The train will arrive back at Calgary on July 10, 2024. A lot of distance records were made.
The extra tenders are for water and the other locomotives supply the power for the passenger cars for air conditioning and lighting etc.
This video is pretty self explanatory. I chased the train from Davenport, Iowa to Marquette, Iowa. The video starts at Le Claire, Iowa and the chase goes north. First we see a train across the Mississippi River in Illinois and then we see the steam train. We see another freight train passing the steam train which took a siding. Then we see yet another freight train in Bellevue, Iowa doing street running. There will be a Part 2 for this video since I have so much video of it to post.
I have already posted a video of a train doing railroad switching in Davenport and I posted a video of a train going over Government Bridge in Davenport with a train also going under the same bridge. See those two video, you will love them!
I ran into fellow YouTuber Jason Asselin and you will see him in my videos.
Filmed Monday, July 1, 2024 in 1080p with 60fps. Thanks for watching!
