This is an astounding and spectacular film, about the construction of
the Canadian Pacific transcontinental route, interwoven with archival
photographs.

The cinematography is breathtaking, and should win an Oscar just for
that. The scenes of restored Hudson CP 2816 pulling a passenger train
filmed
from 3 helicopters are incredible. Some scenes of the Rocky Mountains
and train are hair-raising. The sound editing should also get an Oscar.

It was shown at the San Diego Reuben H. Fleet Space Theatre in Balboa
Park on a half dome giant screen in 16/70mm analog IMAX. Producers were
Pietro Serapiglia and Alexander Low of the Stephen Low Company. The
cost of the 45 minute film was $6Million and took 5 years to film.

It will be available as a DVD/BlueRay as soon as the spherical-to-flat
screen
transformation is complete.
