Turn back the clock to 1957 when big steam still ran on the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railroads in Western Canada. You’ll see a variety of both CN and CP locomotives in the Vancouver area, and venture into the prairies for more action. You’ll see places like the CN yard at Port Mann, and the CP Drake Street yard in the Vancouver area. Also locations like Coquitlam and Chilliwack see steam action as well as CN activity in Kamloops with roundhouse, switching and steam departures. Then we head to the prairies for more Canadian National and Canadian Pacific action. You enjoy servicing shots and turntable scenes at several locations. Locomotives seen on the Canadian National include 0-6-0, 2-8-0, 2-8-2, 2-10-2, and 4-8-2. Canadian Pacific locomotives include 4-6-0, 4-6-2, 2-8-2, 2-10-2, and 4-6-4.

While there was no audio recorded during the 1957 trip, we have merged appropriate CN and CP steam sounds from 1958 and 1959 trips recorded by Elwin Purington. There are even some of the same locomotives and classes, so sounds are quite authentic! There is a nice variety of activity from pacing CN 2-10-2 #4301 west from Kamloops, to CP G3, and C5 Pacifics. Of the three Canadian 1950s films this one has more roundhouse and servicing scenes. These are truly historic steam treasures that will be enjoyed by all steam and historic railroad enthusiasts. A must for any steam lover.

    Love it, I was 10 years old during this period and can still remember steam trains in Nova Scotia.

  2. Lloyd

    Real steam action from 1957 in British Columbia Canada, and the Canadian prairies. Both Canadian National & Canadian Pacific are seen hard at work. Really great action from the history of these companies for us to enjoy.

  3. Ricky

    This Soon to be 60 year old films are a unique treasure to any rail fan or a must have as this along with the ’58 & ’59 videos are Greg’s Favorites. There are some Modern footages from Greg Himself, Which includes stock footage from October 1993 with 1286 & 1238 (From Great Steam Trains 3), And a Short October 1999 Visit to the Ohio Central Railroad with 1293. Who Knows what would happen in the future when Greg creates an Ohio Steam Spectacular Sequel, With all of the Steamers that were shot from the 1990’s?
