STREET Running STEAM TRAIN & Freight Train! The Empress Steam Locomotive In Iowa Passes CPKC Train!

Published 2024-07-08
This steam locomotive is called the Empress. It is a 94 year old oil burner that was retired from service in 1960. The locomotive was restored by CPKC to celebrate the one year anniversary of the merger of Canadian Pacific Railway and Kansas City Southern Railroad. Both railroads were Class One railroads. There were 7 Class One railroads and now there are 6 with the merger.
The Final Spike Steam Tour started in Calgary, Canada on April 24, 2024. The train ran all the way across the USA and down to Mexico City where it arrived on June 7, 2024. The train started the return trip on June 9, 2024. I filmed it in Iowa on July 1, 2024. The train will arrive back at Calgary on July 10, 2024. A lot of distance records were made.
The extra tenders are for water and the other locomotives supply the power for the passenger cars for air conditioning and lighting etc.
This video is pretty self explanatory. I chased the train from Davenport, Iowa to Marquette, Iowa. The video starts at Le Claire, Iowa and the chase goes north. First we see a train across the Mississippi River in Illinois and then we see the steam train. We see another freight train passing the steam train which took a siding. Then we see yet another freight train in Bellevue, Iowa doing street running. There will be a Part 2 for this video since I have so much video of it to post.
I have already posted a video of a train doing railroad switching in Davenport and I posted a video of a train going over Government Bridge in Davenport with a train also going under the same bridge. See those two video, you will love them!
I ran into fellow YouTuber Jason Asselin and you will see him in my videos.
Filmed Monday, July 1, 2024 in 1080p with 60fps. Thanks for watching!

133 wagons on that methanol train! No wonder there was a DPU. Thanks for filming the trains today!
-
Thank you for the spectacular video, JT!! The Empress is simply amazing . And that Tom is just as cute as can be! I love to see your pets, every one of them. Thanks again, JT! 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤

That was a fabulous KCS mixed freight that did the street run. It was reasonably long with a mid-train DPU and a good variety of cars! It was a great catch, JT! Thank you! 😃😃😃❤❤❤
-
Awesome. It's hard to believe something as heavy as locomotives would totter like they do. That steam engine is just as impressive in a distance as it is up close. That entire train is impressive...
-
The Canadian Pacific is fantastic. What a great shot.
-
The train that passed the Empress was a long one! And the river looked relatively clean for being flooded, in my opinion. Thanks, JT! 😃😃❤❤
-
The Empress sounded absolutely fabulous when it was up to speed! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤

Gotta love how The Empress steam train has 3 tenders and 2 retro Diesel locomotives :)
-
Awesome trains, so beautiful - well worth you driving to catch them, thanks so much for sharing!

What a plethora of excitement, Brian! I specially love the Le Claire part with Old Man River just about lapping at the streets and flowing so fast. Can you imagine people living in those apartments with all the balconies to watch the trains go by and I didn't notice one person on the balcony to watch the steam train. I will have to watch again. What an entertaining video! Yeah, some people do not know how to be nice..."quite rude actually..." is a gentleman's way of putting down an idiot. You are a gentleman, Mr. Tooth. Thanks for shooting those videos. :)

Glad to see Shoestring make a brief appearance!

Thanks for taking us along on this historic trip of the Empress! Glad the Batmobile made the trip with you. He would of gotten lonely if left behind! I drive Dodge Rams so I think that’s cool !
