Bystanders at Beasley

Soon after departing CPKC's yard at Kendleton, TX, CP 2816 rolls into Beasley, the first town it will pass today on its 350 mile trip to Shreveport.

 

Although crowds would be smaller than on the train's southbound trip, large numbers of people still came out on this hot Saturday to watch this Canadian 4-8-4 steam home.
