Western Railroad Discussion > CPKC 2816 Final Spike Steam TourDate: 05/08/24 18:19 CPKC 2816 Final Spike Steam Tour Author: dadonatrain I just watched CPKC 2816 leave Franklin Park, IL, on the next leg of its Final Spike Steam Tour. I sure wish I had had the tech smarts to post some pics, but alas, all I could do was watch it on a rail fan cam. I feel like a little kid! What a train. Maybe someone else will post some shots.
