The Selkirk Mountains touch the sky at over 11,000 feet in southeastern British Columbia, Canada. Encircled by the Columbia River and dressed in a richly forested garment, the sheer jagged peaks produce an aura of beauty and danger.
Deep within the heart of these mountains, a transcontinental rail line passes through two different tunnels: the five mile long Connaught Tunnel and the nine mile long Mount Macdonald Tunnel, which is the longest railway tunnel in the western hemisphere. This is Canadian Pacific's route over Roger's Pass!
Between Revelstoke and Field, the Mountain Sub lives up to its name with stiff grades of 2.4% that burrow under dangerous avalanche zones. Part of CP's 3,000 mile trans- continental line from Montreal to Vancouver, the Mountain Sub sees high priority intermodal trains, unit grain trains, 152 car coal trains, monster 170 car potash trains, and Canada's premiere passenger train, The Rocky Mountaineer.
A combination of fantastic Canadian scenery and hard-working trains is what this program is all about! 1 hour 58 minutes

I was surprised when 7idea ventured outside the United States and into Canada for it's next train video. Didn't know what to expect from this production. Turns out I should expect what I get out of all the other 7idea productions video; the highest quality imaginable. There were lots of trains, lots of beautiful mountain scenery, great views of the Canadian Pacific tunnels (which I've never seen closehand) and lots and lots of information about this historic and great rail line. I highly recommend this. If you can, make sure you get the blu-ray version. You'll be saying "Wow!" many times while watching this. Thanks again, Aaron, for this video and I hope you do another Canadian video soon.

Fully agree with Mr. Feath. Another 5 star production by 7Idea. I'm not usually a CP fan, but I think this has convinced me otherwise. 22,000 ton potash trains. Midtrain and rear DPU's on many trains(2x1x1). I think there was even a manifest with this DPU configuration. Of course, the scenery is breathtaking. With 7Idea for me, it's automatic 5 stars!!

7 IDEA PRODUCTIONS is unquestionably the best video and sound quality I have purchased. Living here in the Rockies of Alberta, Aaron Bentsen has captured all to see. With the purchase of both the Kicking Horse and Rogers Pass on Blu-ray you can not go wrong. My hats off to a job well done, keep up the good work. Hope you make it back up to Canada again, we have lots of sites yet to be filmed. Dave Turcotte

With 7 Ideas fantastic DVD's I was hoping Aron would do some DVDs from Canada and my wish has come true. This is a must have DVD A+++++ all the way, filmed in the great format that Aron shows in all his DVD's, the action is non stop and awesome all kinds of trains are seen from double stacks, unit pot ash trains, manifest freights and coal trains. All the great spots of this Sub are shown in all kinds of weather. Great scenery and action excellent photography informative narration and maps, this DVD is a classic. Don't wait grab a copy while you can.
