*About this show:* A Railfan's dream come true! Ride the cab of the Rocky Mountaineer's ex CN GP40-2L's (what is a GP40-2L? Find out!) through the stunning scenery of British Columbia's Selkirk and Rocky Mountains.
See the engineers view of inaccessible Kicking Horse Canyon and the interior of the Connaught Tunnel. The main view is straight ahead, with picture in picture of the scenery and crew.
Hear the locomotives work, in-cab conversations, (some conversations have been edited to protect the guilty!) radio talk, and see the engineer and conductor at work.
Own the DVD, with better quality (no YouTube compression or commercials!) and a permanent addition to your collection at Pentrex.com.
