Canadian Pacific 2816 Steam Engine Train

On Labor Day weekend 2007 Franklin Park celebrated the opening of the Grand Avenue underpass by inviting the Canadian Pacific number 2816 steam train engine to the celebration. What was real strange is I am use to the modern day train sounds, but one day I heard a different whistle blowing. I knew that wasn't no ordinary train so I packed up my video camera and caught a cool video of the train when it parked minutes from my house. Here is the video.

@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.

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.

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

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.

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]

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

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