Spent Wednesday chasing Hudson 2816 From Vancouver to Kamloops, on the first leg of the Cross Canada trip they are running(VERY expensive, and sold out!) Anyone along the line between Vancouver-Montreal needs to see this Train, you might never see anything like it again. I can't recall the car count, but it's around 18 cars, all but 4 Heavyweights
2816, aux tender, GP38-2 3084(in script), FP9A 1401, F9B 1900(all running, I don't know which sounded better to me, 2816, or the 2 567's!), 3 support cars, 2 streamlined coaches, 1 streamlined sleeper, 1 heavyweight business car, power car/baggage, and alot of heavyweights after that. This train is a sight to behold. The passengers leaning on the brass railing on the platform of the last car, holding out their wine glasses in a toast to all the drooling chasers pretty much says it all!
All I can say is a big Thank-You to CP for running something like this.
