CALGARY, Alberta — After its first public display on Wednesday, Canadian Pacific No. 2816 begins the CPKC “Final Spike Steam Tour” today, traveling from Calgary to Medicine Hat, Alta., on the first leg of a two-day trip to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, where its next display event is scheduled.
The first U.S. display date is April 30 in Minot, N.D.; the display and travel schedule is available here; details of display locations and times were covered in this News Wire article.
CPKC is now offering a Train Tracker on the Steam Tour portion of the railroad’s website, utilizing the page’s route map. There is no detailed schedule with arrival and departure times, however.
The website also offers information on the locomotive’s restoration, photos and videos, and a series of Frequently Asked Questions about the trip.
For reasons of access from remote locations, most day-to-day Trains Magazine coverage of the tour will be available on our Facebook page.
