Railroaders is a 22 minute documentary about winter railroading in the Canadian
Rockies, and the men who keep the lines clear. The film focuses on the stretch of the CP line between
Revelstoke and
Field, British Columbia, which is a snow-choked threat to
communications. The film shows the work of section hands, maintenance
men, train crews and telegraph operators. For diesel lovers, this 1958 film has some great shots of classic CP
F units and rolling stock, plus some nostalgic views of life and work in small Canadian mountain towns like Revelstoke from over 50 years ago.
