Public events were held in several cities along the route including Moose Jaw, Minot, St. Paul, Franklin Park, Davenport, Kansas City, Shreveport, Laredo, Mexico City, and Winnipeg...

Railfans from coast to coast lined up trackside in Canada, the United States, and Mexico to see CPKC and Union Pacific steam trains.

Documenting 40 years of change on Union Pacific and Burlington Northern lines along the scenic Columbia River Gorge.
