Absolutely amazing, some of the working processes are very interesting.
The film, given its age is in good condition.
I wonder if the loco is still running or in a museum?
Thank you for sharing.

Wow! Arn't human beings incredible? Imagine the engineering that went into that! The guy comes home after work and sits on the front porch swing with his sweety and as they both stare up at the moon, they have no idea of things to come.
Thanks Brian!

3100 class 4-8-4 Northern, CP only built two of them, for high speed passenger service they lost out to the 4-6-4 Hudson, a New York Central design. 3100 and 3101 ran the Montreal to Toronto run until about 1960 when 3100 went into a museum and 3101 was sold for scrap. However 3101 ended up on display in a park the company owned and is still there.
