"Everybody's Crazy About A Steam-Powered Train" |
| Description: |
With apologies to ZZ Top, "Everybody's crazy about a steam-powered train." The Empress sure brought the folks out to Union Depot this day! |

State Fair Worthy |
| Description: |
A State Fair-worthy crowd had quickly fathered by the Empress by the time I drew close on the platform at SPUD. Getting the signals at left was a lucky nice touch. |

A Closer Look |
| Description: |
The crowd thinned like a parting fog bank just enough for me to get closer to the Empress for this shot. |

Can Pac Covered Wagon |
| Description: |
Love those CP covered wagons CPKC brought with the Empress. I sure hope they keep the classic CP paint. |

The "Bonfield" |
| Description: |
Second to last car on the "Final Spike" train is the "Bonfield". I do not yet know this car's number or heritage, but it sure looks snappy! |

The "Stanford Fleming" |
| Description: |
Theater car "Stanford Fleming" is, perhaps fittingly, the car that is bringing up the markers on the "Final Spike" train. If you look real close, you can see this baby has an air horn on it. An air horn that was used to greet me, my chase buddy Brandon, and several other railfans (including two from, fittingly enough, British Columbia) west of Loretto the day before! |
