CP 2816 Touring to Windsor Dates (Early 2000?)
Author: 8injector

Just curious do anyone have the approximate date and year that 2816 made a run from Toronto and stopped in London for Servicing and procedded onto Windsor, Ontario. I remember Seeing Doyle and Al Broadfoot on the crew and we were in discussions with both of them beside the locomotive. I just came across a Hi-8 Tape with the footage.
Thanks In Advance.
JR

  •   A Mr Brian Sellers has a video on YT re 2816. I did not see a specific
    month mentioned, May? June? 2003.

     (During the Spring of 2003 we visited southern Ontario Canada to see two operating
    steam locomotives. First we chased Canadian Pacific 2816 from Hamilton to London,
    via Guelph Jct.
    At Guelph Jct. the steam excursion was held for a westbound CP Expressway train
    to pass. This trip was made for "Breakfast for Learning program.")
  • The words in captions are Mr Sellers.

    Breakfast for learning trip 2003 on YT used a GO Transit 10 car set plus F59
    facing East on the rear of 2816 and 5? cars.

    Then on June 12, 2004, another BF Learning trip using 2815 and another GO set.
    There's a write-up on the TRHA (Toronto Railway Historical Association) website.

    Mr Seller's video from 2003 is the only one to mention London.

    BF Learning trips ran from Toronto Union Station to Milton(Guelph Jct)

CPR 2860 came to Windsor, tunnel to Detroit and former PM across southern Michigan in May 1980 (?) to Chicago. Press tour to promote British Columbia.
