Witness an awesome doubleheader pulled by Canada's two largest steam locomotives. Former Canadian Pacific and Canadian National engines 2860 and 6060 begin a 1200 mile trip from Vancouver to Jasper and Prince George. Then former Canadian Pacific 3716 joins the train for the trip back to Vancouver.
This special passenger train pulled by steam at all times, travels through Canada's most spectacular scenery. Starting from Vancouver the train traveled to Jasper National Park and the Cariboo. The scenery accents the majesty of these three mighty steam locomotives.
Pentrex has captured the beauty of this special steam excursion in all its glory. This is a program every steam fan will want to experience!

30 years ago in October 1988, pentrex traveled to witnessed this never repeated journey all across western canada from Vancouver to Jasper and Return. Great Steam Action with Royal Hudson 2860, 2-8-0 3716 which now operates at the kettle valley scenic railway, and Canadian National 6060 that now operates at the Alberta Prairie Railroad. Unfortunately, You'll have to watch this like a VHS Tape because it Doesn't have any chapter menus whatsoever. Overall, perfect scenery, good trackside action and an excellent show of 3 of every railfans' favorite Canadian made Steamers.
