After a spirited run from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to Kansas City, Missouri, U.S., Canadian Pacific 4-6-4 steam locomotive No. 2816 “Empress” set off in late May 2024 on new mileage, covering the former Kansas City Southern system with the CPKC Final Spike Anniversary Steam Tour en route to Mexico City. Come along with Trains.com as we follow the 2816 over the mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma and into the low-country of the deep south in Louisiana and Texas. Some portions of this route haven’t seen steam operation since the 1950s.
