A lot of it was filmed on the CP Acme subdivision out of Calgary. This leads down from a small town called Acme to Drumheller Alberta(noted for its large dinasour collection and digs). It is centered in a very unique bad lands type terrain. I worked this area for about six months in the 70's. The grain elevators were maybe of town of Carbon, but I have not seen the film in a long time. That track has since been abandond. Regular crews were called to work the train to get various shots. I did not have a chance to be called. A lot of the yard shots are taken in the Aylth yards as I recognized the yard tracks and pull down tower etc. I believe some of the mountain shots were taken on the Laggan sub(main line west of Calgary ). I believe that at that time passenger service was still CP Rail and VIA did not come till later. <br /> <br />Brent
