I just received my June issue of Trains and was unaware, until now, of this film.

I threw up a little watching the preview.  Looks like a very heavy PR piece.  Released late last year, and the climate for railroads since then... well, is any one even showing it?

 

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

Based on this trailer:  ?  What, only women work on the railroads nowadays?

A little pushback to all the other rail movies that virtually only show old white men.  Surprised there wasn't a shot of Katie Farmer at the head of the Board Room.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Look at the 'gallery' for more representative shots.

I think the Regnier Theatre at Kansas City Union Station is only showing it (at only $6 per person!) through May 4th, so it may be going to a new set of venues.

It's being shown at iMax theaters.  Very few right now, but more theaters towards the end of the year.  I counted only eight or nine theaters showing it now.

I was clicking through their links of "theaters showing" on their site.  So far I only found one of the places listed (San Diego) as actually showing it.

It looked like something they would play at a carrier day program ata high school. The computer graphics of the locomotive being dismantled were kind of out of place.

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.

Imax cameras are expensive.  Most of us would break them.
