Big trains in breathtaking mountain scenery!
Originally released on DVD in 2016, follow Union Pacific trains over the former SP main line from Redding, California to Klamath Falls, Oregon.
Watch trains crossing the massive Redding Trestle and winding through the Sacramento River Canyon to Dunsmuir. At this point, the heavy mountain grade begins as trains climb around the base of Mt Shasta.

[Originally released on DVD in 2017]
At 3,711 feet above sea level and with gradual approaches on both sides, Yellowhead Pass is the ideal railway passage of Canada’s Rocky Mountains.
Canadian National utilizes this strategic crossing of the continental divide marking the provincial boundary of British Columbia and Alberta. The railway is busy with intermodal traffic heading to and from west coast ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert, BC. The rails stay polished with unit grain and coal trains heading for export, numerous mixed merchandise trains, and Via Rail passenger trains sporting sleek silver dome cars.
See this incredibly beautiful line from Hinton, Alberta, to Red Pass, British Columbia. A good deal of the route traverses the picturesque setting of Jasper National Park. 7idea Productions made two trips to the Yellowhead Country and our cameras captured its natural beauty in both summer and winter.
This program was shot between August 2016 and January 2017.

Originally released on DVD in 2012, follow the former Southern Pacifics crossing of the Tehachapi Mountains in Southern California. The crown feature is the famous Tehachapi Loop where trains loop over themselves to maintain a manageable grade. Trains have wrapped around this engineering marvel for over 150 years!

In the spring of 2018, we visited this awesome segment of the Southern Transcon between Barstow and Needles, California. This is high-density railroading through the Mojave Desert with over 80 trains per day.
A couple of years ago, we released a shortened version of this program, and had requests for the full two-hour show. Here you go!

![Rogers Pass [Canadian Pacifics Mountain Sub]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f3VOc8qcrao/mqdefault.jpg "Rogers Pass [Canadian Pacifics Mountain Sub]
[This program was originally released on DVD in 2014.]
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 Pacifics route over Rogers 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 CPs 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 Canadas premiere passenger train, The Rocky Mountaineer.
A combination of fantastic Canadian scenery and hard-working trains is what this program is all about!
