This documentary short offers a nostalgic look at the steam locomotive as it passes from reality to history. In its heyday, the big smoke-belching steam engine seemed immortal. Now, powerful and efficient diesels are pushing the old coal-burning locomotives to the sidelines, and the lonely echo of their whistles may soon be a thing of the past.

A touching and excellent film! I'm only in my Thirties, but I never pass up a train if I can help it. Modern trains are fne and all, but I have to admit that they are not as much fun as steam. Riding the bullet train in Japan was about as romantic as riding an airplane. But riding the 2816 Empress through the Rockies and the Grand Canyon Railway's steam engine were genuine delights. A steam train feels more kinetic, like living thing both natural and mechanical. Electrical things are inert. They may be efficient and useful (I love my e-reader, pc and smartphone), but they don't move. Steam moves, breathes, and shudders like a primal, elemental creature beneath its carapace. And the steam train itself recalls a more elegant era of travel with all its gilded aesthetic richness.

Opening scenes are at Turcot Yard, Montreal - site of today’s infamous highway interchange. The last 5 minutes show a hostler lighting a fire and getting steam up inside the Turcot roundhouse and the film finishes will trains westbound out of Montreal on the CPR ‘lakeshore’ line. An excellent documentary.
