The Canadian Pacific Steam Engine 2816 known as the “Empress” made a stop in Amsterdam. The Empress was originally built in 1930 and retired in 1960.
The Empress was restored in 2001. The Empress was primarily used in pulling passenger trains in revenue service for thirty years, before it was retired.
The Empress is making a run from Canada to Mexico to commemorate the merger of Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) and Kansas City Southern (KCS) on April 14, 2023. It is the first and currently the only single-line railway connecting Canada, Mexico, and the United States, operating approximately 32,000 kilometres (20,000 mi) of rail across the three countries.
