Canadian Pacific 2816 - Return of the Empress (Kendleton to Laredo)

Que hermosura; y ya se encuentra viajando por tierras mexicanas 🤗..... Bienvenida Emperatriz a México lindo y querido!! 🚞 🇲🇽 🎉

Great footage, I chased her from Kendleton TX to San Diego. El Campo through the park was probably my favorite place, hitting that small section of jointed rail.

Listening to the engine at 15:00 is priceless. Thank you.

In case you're wondering, the spout with water gushing out of it under the locomotive is on the engineer's side of the cab. The view is under the frame from the fireman's side. The spout is the overflow from the engineer's injector, which is just one of three mechanisms that force water into the boiler to keep it topped up. The injector uses steam for create a venturi effect which jets water heated with steam past the check valve at the side of the boiler. The fireman also has an injector, and the engine is 'fed' by a feedwater heater, which is the golden clad item forward of the cab. on the running board on the side of the locomotive that we see when it is parked near the end of the video. Nice video. Well done!

My childhood memories, used to think they were scary monsters, fire breathing and alive. Beautiful beasts.❤❤❤

Nice footage! Thanks for the time and effort you put into recording this iconic steam trip by 2816. I can only hope the Empress revisits us in Eastern Canada.

🇮🇪 very nice sharing it's wonderful brilliant very nice train 🚂

Ill be damn! You actually caught me in that footage! I was the guy with the cowboy hat and the cotton belt blue streak shirt in Robstown!

The Empress must be very happy to be FAR AWAY from Mexico and back home safe and sound in Canada

To think just a few years ago that the Empress would be going down to Mexico let alone Texas would have been a pipedream

With three diesel-electrics, why do they need an additional generator car?

fun ride

Canadian spit and polish on full display

it’s a 4-6-4 Hudson Steam Locomotive

El Champo should be El Campo, TX. Didn't get the restored SP depot in nearby Wharton.

Awesome ! 🚂🚂🚂

É lindo ver uma maria fumaça das grandes, parecidas com as Niagaras 4-8-4, que povoaram minha infância em Cacequi, maquinas enormes, conhecidas como as milionarias e que infelizmente foram levadas para a sucata, sem guardarem sequer uma unidade para o museu. É o Brasil sem memória.

The location of the train's second passing is El Campo (The Field), not El Champo (The Shampoo)! 🤣🤣🤣 Despite its Spanish-language name, El Campo is a largely Czech community. As for tender capacity, 12,000 imperial gallons equals 14,411 US gallons. They are not the same!

I have to know that someone has mentioned this before but what a horrible sounding steam whistle, but sometimes it sounds is if 2816 has 2 steam whistles, one that is just horrible and the other like one you'd expect to hear from such a majestic locomotive. I can't wait until it shows up in Silvis, Illinois at the end of the month to give excursion.
