Canadian Pacific #2816
"The Empress"
Photographers Special
May 2, 2006

In May 2006 Canadian Pacific was gracious enough to allow John Craft and Bill Raia to organize and charter a Photographers Special using CPR #2816.  The train would be running from Calgary, Alberta to Lake Louise.  This would include some running through the Canadian Rockies and Morants Curve south of Lake Louise.  Morants Curve was named for the CP photographer that made the picturesque spot famous.
