Two little birdies told me that CPR's 2816 steam train will be coming out for a shakedown run on May the 14th. She will leave the CPR Pavilion in downtown Calgary at about 11:00 and will most likely make her way to Carseland and back to Calgary after turning around on the wye. I'm not 100% on the trip destination but it is the most logical.
That is the word so far!

Thanks for the info Eric. You know I'm thinking of a photo run! And yes I will post them on the blog.
I'm going to try and get there super early to hopefully catch some pics of her at the pavilion. I will then try to get to Ogden road/Barlow Trail, then race down to the 22x overpass and to Carseland. I'll see if I can get to the wye, but last time I was at the wye there was not much room to stand and no really good vantage points. After that it's the chase back to Calgary.
Cheers,
