2816 - Chasing Canadian Pacific Steam Across The Midwest - Preview 1

In August and September 2007, CP 2816 made a goodwill tour of the US Midwest, with trips across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois. The scenes on this video start with a sunny morning in Thief River Falls, Minnesota as the special begins a journey to Minneapolis via Glenwood, Minnesota. The next two scenes show the train passing farms and through small towns.

The fourth scene is a high speed romp between Sturtevant, Wisconsin and Franklin Park, Illinois on CP's Chicago - Milwaukee line.

The final scene follows the train on CP's River Sub along the Mississippi River as it returns to its temporary home in Minneapolis.

Pretty impressive, better than the 2317's run I'd say. What would you say that is moving at around 1;30, about 70 mph or better?

This was on the same track Amtrak Hiawatha Service runs between Chicago & Milwaukee. I'm sure it was doing the posted passenger speed at that location. It was quite impressive!

Yard Goat, I was on the Minneapolis-Glenwood trip. 2816 untied her train at the Glenwood depot, traveled to & spun on the turntable, and coupled onto the rear of the observation car to head back to Minneapolis. I watched her in July traveling South through Alexandria MN to Glenwood & Minneapolis for the fan trips.

That was a great trip, and is documented on 2816: Chasing Canadian Pacific Steam Across the Midwest. We have pacing shots as the special approached Glenwood as well as the turntable scene.

Rode behind 2816 between Minneapolis & Glenwood MN; she's a great steamer!

@Petemonster62 -

Which trip were you on, the Minneapolis - Glenwood turntable trip or the the one heading on to Thief River Falls?

What's up with the whistles? It sounds like there are two; one with a pull cord and the other with a simple on/off valve. And I must say, the whistle with the instant-on-instant-off sounds a lot like the IAIS QJs.
