Review of CPR 2816 Part Two The Inaugural Run Vancouver to Calgary DVD

 5 of 5 (1)
This video captures the 5-day first major trip for the restored 4-6-4 Hudson number 2816 over the Canadian Pacific Mainline. Each day is shown with good coverage from the train, trackside runbys, and even some footage in the cab. In the more remote regions like east of Revelstoke we see great coverage from a helicopter which allows breathtaking views of remote bridges along Rogers Pass as an example. You will be there for the best coverage available of this premier run of a beautiful locomotive and witness some of the best scenery North America offers.

On the final day, a special runby was set-up at Morants curve and the engine went storming through the famous location right after sun-up in spectacular fashion, before finishing the run to Calgary.
