CALGARY, Alberta — CPKC has released the U.S. and Canadian return-trip schedule for Canadian Pacific Hudson No. 2816 and the Final Spike Steam Tour train, which will wrap up its southbound journey June 7 with display in Mexico City.

The return trip will see the locomotive resume U.S. travel June 12 with a trip from Laredo to Kendleton, Texas; its final leg will be July 5 from Medicine Hat, Alberta, to Calgary. The northbound trip offers a more condensed schedule than the 33-day southbound from Calgary to the Mexican border, other than an extended stay (June 18-26) in Davenport, Iowa. It includes the previously announced June 30 display day in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The full schedule is below.
