| Trip to Canada - Canadian National #2816 Royal Hudson "The Empress" |
| Below are some pictures taken while I was chasing the CPR #2816. It was pulling the "Breakfast for Learning" Train. It was a fund raising train for a program to see that all kids in Canada get a good breakfast before going to school in the morning. |
 |
| Here was our first running shot of CPR #2816. This is just east of Sunshine, Ontario on the morning of June 28, 2003 |
 |
| Here the short train is pulling up to a signal after a servicing stop. This is at Raith, Ontario on June 28, 2003. |
 |
| This picture was taken shortly after the above shot. This was the train that the #2816 was pulling up to the signal to wait for. Both trains are westbound at Raith. June 28, 2003 |
 |
| Since #2816 is an oil burner it runs very clean. But here the train is running at about 55mph. This is east of Upsala after we had paced the train for several miles. June 28, 2003 |
 |
| Here the train is just West of Upsala, Ontario. The train is climbing a light grade and whistling for a grade crossing. June 28, 2003 |
 |
| Here the train is just west of Ignace, Ontario. The train stopped in Igance for 45 minutes. June 28, 2003 |
 |
| Here "The Empress" is westbound west of Dryden, Ontario. June 29, 2003 |
 |
| Here the #2816 glides along one of the many lakes in the Boundery Lakes area. Just is just east of Kenora, Ontario. June 29, 2003 |
 |
| Here the #2816 is backing into the yard at Kenora, Ontario. The would be spending 2 days in Kenora. June 29, 2003 |
 |
| Here is one of the last shots I took of the train before we left Canada. It was a great steam engine and the train was running for a great cause. June 29, 2003. |
