I agree with MangoHombre. You had no right yelling at those people and they had every right to be where they were. I would have just turned around and given you the finger. You ruined your own video and you need to learn to edit.

[timcat100]

I just uploaded a video of the same train that Stopped in Blairmore AB. My video starts right off when the trains leaves...lots of steam. At the end of my video you can hear the whistle echo off the mountains

ALL of Metra and Amtrak's current engines are diesel-electric and burn diesel fuel!

@ford9572 - please refrain from acting like an idiot. You are so worried about kids seeing old trains. If I were a parent to one of these kids and saw them reading your response, Id keep them from seeing this video again. Come on don't be such a potty mouth! Thanks.

[ford9572]

2816 runs on diesel fuel in case some of you didn't know.

[drchepa]

elegant train!....

[MangoHombre]

Nice train but what jackasses yelling at people to move so they can get their precious pictures. Those people will remember the rude idiots instead of the train.

[fistonet]

@MangoHombre - Im sure but I wouldnt want strangers in my video. It probably could have been handled a little better I am sure.

Though steam engine pollutes,you can enjoy the other features of sound, jerking etc.

[pastryhat]

im glad to see we still keep the empress running.

[armoka56]

Great video of the train, but you need to edit the video!

" Hey GET OUT OF THE WAY" nice

[MrPetepohl1]

NICE to see She is back in Steam ! She was at STEAMTOWN Vt. I saw her at BELLOWS FALLS in 1978. built by Montreal Loco Works. 68535 in 1930.

The diesel is basically our spare tire... used on long trips, or when hard grades are presented in a planned trip. Why whip a multi-million dollar mount when you don't have too. Secondly, I can assure you, it is very much in one piece and there is no plastic on it whatsoever... except maybe an empty water bottle I may have left up there this morning when I was polishing her jacket.

[papoocanada]

whats the damn diesel doing there?????

[hudson501]

I believe it's there to assist in "airing up" the train air brake system.

[Wiredup335]

Hiwatha cars? cool!

[hudson501]

As an employee of the Soo Line RR, I was able to ride behind CP 2816 from Milwaukee to downtown Chicago in September, 2007. Seems she'll be out of service for 2009 undergoing some repairs. Let's hope she'll return soon, but the current state of the world's economy could postpone any comback in the next few years.

[gaycowboy31]

I hope to see her back in 2010 too that is what they told us on my last excoursion we shall hope and see

[gaycowboy31]

I spoke with a former 2816 steameam emplyee and he told me that the new president of CP doesnt like steam and 2816 is no more I do truelly hope this to not be true but he told me it is in Calgary in pieces under a tarp wraped up permentlly I was hopeing he was wrong but we shall all see I had some good year rideing this engine one such case rode in the cab out of Lake Louise Alberta through the spirral tunnels to Field BC and again a few more times into Port Coquitlem yard

[hudson501]

I was told that it'll be out of service until things improve economically for the CP as business is quite a bit down versus last year. I don't suspect it'll be around anytime soon and that may include 2010.

[gaycowboy31]

hmm very interesting I figured that might be the case I wasnt sure though I hear rummers but I dont belive them untill I confirm them such as the case with what he told me I do hope the CP can get things together I had heard they planned to get it ready for the 2010 Olympics maybee that will be the casee as I had many good times with this engine and do hope to see it return to service so thank you for your response back

[guitboxchicken]

To hate steam is sacrilege!

[gaycowboy31]

I agree with you on that for sure but I hear 2816 is comeing back in 2010 I am allready recieving an invite to do a trip behind her in September

[guitboxchicken]

She is a beauty!

[gaycowboy31]

@guitboxchicken Oh Yah I definatly agree I wish the CP would restore the Selkirk to running condition that is in Heratage park in Calgary

[SwampDaddy7]

@guitboxchicken

ESPECIALLY when you work for a railroad.

[CPRailConductor]

Well who ever told you that don't know his ass from a hole in the ground. 2816 is still all in one piece at home down at the Ogden Shops(Alstom). It is still not totally known If she will run this year, but she is book in for runs in August and September. And when It come to Fred Green, nobody really likes him anyway, can fuck off as far as I'm concerned.

[gaycowboy31]

@CPRailConductor yah we got the word she wont be comeing back it was definatlly a disappointment to hear

[TJM862]

i wish i could have shot video of her when she visited toronto a few years ago.

[MSTSFreak]

I wish I was there to shoot this clip of my favorite Steam Locomotive
