A woman was struck and killed Tuesday during the final southbound leg of CPKC’s Final Spike Steam Tour to Mexico City, Mexican media reports. Video of the incident posted online shows that the woman had been standing too close to the tracks as Canadian Pacific 4-6-4 2816 passed through a community north of Mexico City. 

Tuesday’s incident follows another close call earlier this week when a woman had her phone knocked out of her hand by the locomotive as it passed. Video of that incident was widely shared online. 

Locomotive 2816 is currently leading a tri-nation tour to celebrate the merger of CP and Kansas City Southern. The locomotive and train are expected to return north later this month.
