Originally linked from the Steam Central site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pFocxpM524 I hope to see this, if this trailer is any indication. We have such amazing cinematic possibilities; it is crazy, at least to me, that Hollywood fails to take advantage of both the stories and the images period railroading can offer. |

I'm putting this on my list of things to see. Generally, the IMAX documentaries (that I've seen) are very well written and have a storyline that is easy to follow. I wonder if this will be played at the Boston Museum of Science's IMAX theater... |

Is the "wheel" apparent in the video the throttle for Canadian steam? |

The wheel is the manual adjustment of the screw reverser. There is an air motor to allow for large adjustments. |

Anyone know any more about the new series starting next month, I think, on AMC called "Hell on Wheels"? Looks like a 19th century drama on railroad construction... |

Did a little looking for "Hell On Wheels," this is what came up: http://www.amctv.com/hell-on-wheels/vid ... -on-wheels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_on_Wheels_(TV_series) http://online.wsj.com/video/tv-clip-hel ... =googlewsj http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-f ... els-184536 Interesting that the last link notes photography is in Calgary, which leads to a question--who can identify the steam locomotive in the clips? She's standard gauge, a 2-6-0, obviously small, but from where? |

Saw this movie this past Saturday at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago. Very well done. Obviously, it is aimed at the general audience, but still very well done. The photography was well done as well. It is worth a vist to your local Science Museum/IMAX/OmniMax cinema near you. |
