Canadian Pacific #2816 at Rondout, IL

Wow! I ride that Metra line all the time and I was still in the area that day for the summer with my parents- I can't believe I missed this! Are there any plans for another run?

I'm not sure about the whistle. I know that there is another whistle which I actually prefer.

As far as the steam plume, it was a warm day and #2816 is a very clean running locomotive. It burns low grade diesel fuel. I believe to much smoke from a steam engine is a sign of a poor running locomotive.

i figured out about the steam plume...they run air throught the whistle not steam as of right now. I guess its easier on the crews ears or something like that

nice video! how come the whistle sounds a bit, idk, abrupt whenever he pulls the cord? also why is there no steam plume?

[stevelerro]

i think its either a foot switch whistle OR a little switch whistle...not a cord,

What kind of camera do you use??

[kschmidt626]

I use a Canon GL2. I really like the camera and the quality. Of course youtube doesn't really show much quality.

I wish someone shot a video of us on the day before when we got our orders hooped up at the Rondout tower...anyone???

As i'm sure you know orders get hooped up at Rondout numerous times every day. I'm sure one will pop up soon, i'd like to see a video as well
