Politics and the lure of building a main line through the lowest and easiest passage in the Canadian Rockies dictated that Canadian Pacific would build through Calgary and the transcontinental main lines for both predecessors of Canadian National would go through Edmonton nearly thirty years later. Edmonton, the capital of the Province of Alberta when it became a province in 1905, and Calgary, who already hosted Canada’s first transcontinental railroad, grew rapidly in the early 1900s and quickly became the largest cities and centers of commerce in Alberta, titles that they retain today. All three Canadian Transcons quickly built lines into the other city that their transcontinental main did not go through. The current operations of the CP and CN lines between Calgary and Edmonton could hardly be more different. This program shows the trains and operations of Canada’s two main railroads on their fascinating secondary main lines between Calgary and Edmonton in September of 2010. “CP & CN Calgary to Edmonton Mains” is 1 hour and 37 minutes in length. This DVD has the option of being watched with or without narration.

The former Delaware and Hudson, now Canadian Pacific, line between Binghamton, New York and Scranton, Pennsylvania that contains the two largest reinforced concrete railroad viaducts in the world over Tunkhannock and Martin’s Creeks, was originally part of the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western’s main line between northern New Jersey and Buffalo. The center portion of this line, the Clarks Summit-Hallstead cutoff that contains the massive concrete viaducts, two-thirds of a mile long Nicholson Tunnel, and many deep cuts, was built as a low-grade super railroad with no grade crossings by the DL&W between 1912 and 1915. That this line is still in use is something of a miracle as it has had several close calls with abandonment and five owners since the Erie – Lackawanna merger in 1960. Today, thanks to complex trackage and haulage rights agreements between CP and Norfolk Southern, the former Lackawanna and EL line between Binghamton and Scranton is still part of the CP system and is the busiest line on the former Delaware and Hudson system. “CP Binghamton to Scranton” shows all the trains for three days and one night on CP’s Sunbury Subdivision between Binghamton and Scranton in August of 2008. “CP Binghamton to Scranton” is 69 minutes in length. The DVD version of this program has chapters and menus and the option to be watched with or without narration.

This program shows the trains and operations for over twenty-four hours on the historic, former Milwaukee Road main line now owned by Canadian Pacific along the Mississippi River railroad east but geographically south of Winona, Minnesota in May of 2011. Once the double track main line of the Milwaukee Road and the route of the Hiawathas, this line fell on hard times in the 1970s. Rescued by the CP owned Soo Line, this line today, known as CP’s River Subdivision and part of their Chicago to Twin cities main, is in excellent condition and carries more trains today than anytime since at least World War II, thanks to increasing numbers of unit trains of agricultural products, fertilizer, coal, and coke from the northern plains and from Canada. “CP River Line south of Winona, MN” is 81 minutes in length and sells for $32.95 plus $5.00 for shipping and handling. This DVD has the option of being watched with or without narration.

Canadian Pacific’s main line between Montreal and Toronto is their busiest line for freight traffic in eastern Canada. Just west of Perth, Ontario, CP’s Montreal to Toronto main runs through the southern end of the rocky Canadian Shield. In 1996 CP started new piggyback trains between Montreal and Toronto that they initially named Iron Highway trains. The moniker for these trains was later changed to Expressway trains when new flat cars were received. Thus a fitting name for CP’s Montreal to Toronto main is their Expressway. “CP’s Expressway in Eastern Ontario” shows over 32 hours of continuous action on the most scenic part of CP’s Montreal to Toronto Belleville Sub main west of Perth in October of 2007. Length = 58 minutes. The DVD on this program has the option of being watched with or without narration.
