Here are some links to photos I posted of past #2816 trips in B.C. Alberta. And my #2816 Empress O scale model on and beside the engine. The engine has run very well over the years at full speed it looks and sounds stunning. Look forward to seeing all the photos and videos when it runs south.
The #2816 was last steamed up in late 2020 to pull the CP Holiday train for an on line video of the train. If you do some searching you can find some videos posted of it running for the display.
The engine is stored and maintained along with the vintage Royal Canadian Pacific diesel locomotives and passenger fleet by Canadian Pacific Railway in Calgary. They have an excellent team that maintains the fleet. The locomotive was first restored, completely rebuilt at the BC Rail Steam shops in North Vancouver where at the time BC Rail still ran the Royal Hudson and #3716 steam engines.
Here is some good history and photos of the engine and first runs; http://www.okthepk.ca/dataCprS.../200712/mpress00.htm
