Steam locomotive attracts a crowd<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hundreds of train enthusiasts gathered on July 6 at Canadian Pacific-Kansas City (CPKC) railway yard off Jarvis Street The Empress, a 94-year-old steam locomotive, on one of the last legs of its Final Spike Steam Tour.<\/p>\n

The tour was organized to commemorate the 2023 merger of the Canadian Pacific and Kansas City railway companies, and encompassed a 14,484-kilometre trip from Calgary to Mexico and back.<\/p>\n

Newly restored steam locomotive No. 2816, a 4-6-4 Hudson-type steam locomotive built in 1930 and originally assigned to passenger service out of Winnipeg, pulled a short train of passenger cars into the Winnipeg stop, which allowed people to visit a mobile museum exhibit and to climb aboard the locomotive. The locomotive was last in service in 1960.<\/p>
