CPRR #2816 The Grand Tour on CPKCS ?
Posted by samfp1943 on Thursday, December 1, 2022 7:30 PM

Running concurrently, on this Forum is a Thread by fellow Poster Harrison; of his video and comments on the 2022 CPR's (American-edition) Christmas Train on visits, and stops, in New York State.  Running on pre-merger, original CPR trackage; it is a real beauty.

Which brings me to another question:  If and when, will we be able to see that promised "Grand Tour" of the Intercontinental, merged lines of the CPKCS  ?  I think it was approximately. 2 yeears back, aout when  the 'merger between CPR and KCS/KCSdeM was announced. admiitedly, they had to face a lot of 'legal head-winds' at that point to get to finalazation....  But it seems to just about be a done-deal at this time.  

    IIRC, it was {CPR's Crporate president: Mr Keith Creel who promised a "Grand Tour" of the 'new' line.  It also seemed to be that it would be pulled by CPs LAST STEAMER #2816; it would also include a executive train made up of  CPR's executive fleet of rail cars. 

THAT is a trip, I'd love to make to see it, in either, the KC area, or over at Pittsburg (Ks).
