I am going to be in the Twin Cities area for the arrival of the CP 2816 on 22 August. The website says it will be using the old Soo Line main line route of the Winnipeger. I would like to “meet” the train somewhere on the main line sp my 6 year old son can see it running at speed. Does anyone know the route?
This website says it will tavel south from Winnipeg, spend one night in Thief River Falls, and then arrive in the Twin Cities during the 22nd.

It should go through Detroit Lakes and Glenwood.
Thanks!
