Description
We are at Kamloops Railway Station with people crossing its platform, listening to the voice of the filmmaker who says that no one travels to British Columbia without seeing the Rockies.

We then board the train and see views through the window on the way to the Rockies.

We watch a rushing water fall from a cliff, part of the provincial road network and a small town between the trees. The filmmaker continues to take shots of the front of the train he travels in, and when he sees a train in the opposite direction he is surprised by its length, numbering 105 cars.

The film continues with footage of work on the rail network, the mountains and lakes as they pass by and another train in the opposite direction.

No one in his right mind goes to British Columbia without seeing the Rockies.
95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 –phew! How long can a train be? If you work it out that train must be over one mile long.
