One Great video. Canadian scenery is always a great show. If you ever get the chance to ride the Rocky Mountaineer cruise train, this video follows the CP & CN line thru British Columbia that the train follows giving you the views from the ground that you might have miss from the train. Outstanding value.

Some great footage and narration of Northwest railroading along the Fraser
river canyon.
However the overall impact of the movie was marred by frequent bout's of
camera shake, or some sort of technical trouble. Hence I've only
given this doco a 'fair' rating. Though if you like railroading through
rugged wilderness territory, and can put up with a bit of the shaking steven's!.
Then you'll probably enjoy the movie all the same.

Now here's a DVD that shows just how beautiful Canada is when it comes to amazing scenery! Although it's a great DVD for Canadian railroading, I found the scenery in the DVD to be far more interesting and that's not taking away from the subject manner by any means. This is a fabulous DVD on railroading in Canada and as is typical of Pentrex, it's quality is top-shelf! I strongly recommend this DVD for any railfan for their DVD library. If you want to see the true beauty of Canada's scenery, this is an excellent video for that as well.

Another excellent Highball Production. Here is a video that is maybe the finest ever made of this region in Canada. The scenery shots are excellent. The territory is well covered. The trains that transverse the region are well documented. The producer has done a very good job at video taping the subject. As I watched the video, I found it so very much enjoyable.
The only thing that I found disappointing was the place of finish of the video. Canadian National and Canadian Pacific either share track, or run close together all the way, but the producer stops 30km short of Kamloops British Columbia where the 2 major railways split apart with CN heading for Yellowhead Pass and CP heading for Kicking Horse Pass. That final 30km is as interesting as the entire 2 lines, yet it is not seen. Aside from the ending, this is a highly recommended production that all rail fans will enjoy.
