CPKC ANNOUNCES 2024 STEAM TOUR SCHEDULE DATES

Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. has released the schedule dates for its historic Final Spike Anniversary Steam Tour, which will kick off April 24 at the company's global headquarters in Calgary, Alta., and culminate June 4 in Mexico City. The tour will bring the story of CP Kansas's uniquely North American railway history and compelling future to life for rail fans and visitors as it travels across CP Kansas's network.

"Our combination on April 14, 2023, brought together two railroads with long and proud histories that together created the first and only railroad network connecting North America," said Keith Creel, CP Kansas president and chief executive officer. "This special cross-continental journey of the 2816 steam locomotive serves as a reminder of our past and a celebration of our future. We are excited to share this extraordinary experience with communities across our network as we mark the one-year anniversary of our CPKC journey. The Final Spike Anniversary Steam Tour will be the first ever steam-powered passenger train in North America to traverse Canada, the U.S. and Mexico in a single trip."

The Empress 2816, a 4-6-4 Hudson-type steam locomotive built in 1930, will make 11 stops between Calgary and Mexico City:
