@kevdoom2 - You do realize that the producers had the full cooperation of the CPR to shoot this film, right? And as far as I'm concerned, 2816 and 2860 are on the same level of greatness - they're both beautiful engines that deserve to keep running.

What a wonderful video of the Lethbridge Viaduct, I remember as a child, our family traveled from Iowa to Fairview, Alberta (1966). We stopped and took pictures of this bridge. Such a big impression it made on my young life. Hope to see it again.
