Turn back the clock to 1957 when steam still ran on Canadian Pacific and
Canadian National in Western Canada. You'll see a variety of both CN and
CP locomotives in the Vancouver area, and venture into the prairies for
more action. Highlights include the CN around Kamloops including pacing
scenes west with a 2-8-2 and another with a 2-10-2. These 16mm color
films, along with authentic audio have been preserved as historic railroad
treasures for all enthusiasts to enjoy.

The end is near for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Steam in Canada,
as photographer Maynard Laing and friends head to the prairies to see the
action. Tons of great steam abounds with much of the action around Winnipeg
and especially the Portage la Prairie area where the CN and CP cross at a
diamond, and run through the town a block apart. There is lots of exciting
and historic action in this final tape in our Canadian Steam series.

There is no place in Canada more famous than Canadian Pacific's Kicking
Horse Pass. This vital link in the transcontinental route was originally a
brutal 4.5% grade until the famous Spiral Tunnels lowered the gradient to a
more manageable 2%. You'll see a variety of freights between Field eastward
to Morant's curve, as we enjoy scenic lineside action. More Details Here

This video features portions of the famous Fraser and Thompson River Canyons
in British Columbia. The most natural route through this region to access
Vancouver and complete the transcontinental routes was through these
natural, and dangerous canyons. Both CN and CP use opposite sides of the
river so there is a nice variety of action. More Details Here
