"This lively film outlines the beginnings of railroading in Canada. The story is based on CNR's museum on wheels - an antique diner, coach, sleeper, and three exhibit cars. Animated maps indicate the growth of the CNR system from its first 14 1/2 miles (1836) to today's 24,000. Shiny new diesels are contrasted with old-time locomotives, and in the antique coaches models in contemporary costume complete the scene."
