Album Info:My friend "Mazon" and I did our own trip at the end of June and beginning of July to catch CP 2816 and the return "Final Spike" steam train heading back to Canada from Mexico! Since "Mazon" did not see CP 2816 when I went to MN/WI/IL with "Railfan" Gary in May 2024, he wanted to make it up to me! This is because he travelled by Amtrak to Wisconsin to see his dad instead of going with us, seeing his dad and CP 2816! Those photos in album titled “CP 2816 'Final Spike' steam train trip!” He made it up to me! He got CP 2816 with me and I got to catch the "Final Spike" steam tour on two separate trips! Going south in May and Returning in July 2024! YES!!!! Here is the link for the May 2024 trip with "Railfan" Gary Sample catching CP 2816 on its southbound voyage: https://www.rrpicturearchives.net/archiveThumbs.aspx?id=200142
