This enthralling 2011 documentary film takes the audience on a steam journey along the historic Canadian Pacific route from Vancouver to Montreal.

Extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, the transcontinental railway — built by the Canadian Pacific Railway — is known as one of the greatest engineering feats in history. The last spike for the railway was driven in 1885.

The film weaves together spectacular aerial cinematography, archival photographs and maps, and the potent energy and rhythms of a live steam locomotive to immerse audiences in this remarkable story from the age of steam.
