Canadian Pacifics Rogers Pass on DVD by Rail InnovationsSince the "Last Spike", Rogers Pass and the CPR have been synonymous. From day one, "The Pass" has never ceased to be one operationally challenging
piece of railroad.
"Canadian Pacific's Rogers Pass" provides you with a spectacular in-depth look at the Rogers Pass section of CPR's Mountain Sub., both prior to, and after construction of the Macdonald and Shaughnessy Tunnels in the 1980's.

| When you talk Canadian Railroading in the Rockies, no other name is possibly as famous as Rogers Pass. Spectacular scenery, big bridges, long tunnels, and snow. Lots of snow. Throw in big, long trains and you get one fantastic show.
Rail Innovations captures the final days of the Rogers pusher station, in the winter time. What a sight to witness long coal trains being split to allow multi units to slide in and assit the train over some very long hills. Stop at thye station and listen to the men chat as they wait for another assignment, then on they go again. Keeping the trains moving.
Today, the pusher station is gone, but Rail Innovations has kept the memory alive with this excellent movie.
Hats off to the video producers who braved the elements of winter and summer to bring us one of the greatest shows on earth. Rated as Excellent, a must for all rail fans. |
