Trains contributor Steve Smedley put together this video of Canadian Pacific Hudson No. 2816 in Iowa on the return leg of the Final Spike Steam tour to accompany his earlier photo gallery of the July 1 move from Davenport to Dubuque, Iowa [see “‘The Empress’ and its train make the trip back to Canada,” Trains.com, July 3, 2024]. The trip, marking the one-year anniversary of the Canadian Pacific-Kansas City Southern merger, holds its last public event on Saturday, July 6, in Winnipeg, Manitoba; the three-nation tour is scheduled to conclude with the train’s return to Calgary on July 10.
