Line 61:
The locomotive was primarily used in pulling passenger trains in revenue service for thirty years, before it was retired in the 1960s where it was sold to [[F. Nelson Blount]], who added it to his [[Steamtown, U.S.A.]] collection in [[Bellows Falls, Vermont]]. After becoming surplus in the collection by the National Park Service, No. 2816 was reacquired by the CP in 1998, and crews from BC Rail were hired to extensively restore it to operating condition.
In 2001, the ''Empress'' returned to service, and it was used by the CP in occasional [[Excursion train|excursion service]] as part of their steam program. In late 2012, the CP steam program was discontinued, and No. 2816 remained stored at the CP's headquarters in [[Calgary|Calgary, Alberta]]. With the CP merging with [[Kansas City Southern Railway|Kansas City Southern]] (KCS) to become the new [[Canadian Pacific Kansas City]] (CPKC) in 2023, No. 2816 returned to service in spring of 2024
