Tonight, my son & I saw The Rocky Mountain Express movie (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/imax/default.asp?filmdetail=Rocky+Mountain+Express">http://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/imax ... in+Express</a><!-- m -->) at the Ontario Science Centre (only a 10-minute drive from where we live in Toronto).
It was an excellent movie about the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway through the Rocky Mountains in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. It showed a lot of history inter-spaced with recent footage of the CPR Empress Hudson travelling through the Rockies. Seeing this on the huge Imax screen was awesome -- it was the next best thing to actually being on the train, not to mention the incredible scenery!
Highly recommended!
