By:Tom Beckett
Dates:5/21/2024 - 5/21/2024
Album Info:Part of the journey of the Final Spike tour, marking the first anniversary of the CP-KCS merger. The engine ran south over the Heavener Sub 05-21-2024 with CP Royal Hudson 2816, assisted by CP FP 7's 1401 and 4107, with 15 cars in tow. I chased from McElhany MO to Panama OK.

First shot
Title:  First shot
Description:  I had gone up to McElhany, just south of Neosho, to get the first shots of the 2816, and start the chase from there, since Id have good road access and be able to get right to it. As with all things railroad, things oft go astray, and the 1050 departure time from Pittsburg was quite flexible. As a result, the 2816 didnt show til almost 1300. By then, what had been a sunny day had turned overcast, which it would remain the rest of the day.
