As they wind over trestles and through tunnels, each mile of track uncovers stories of dynamite and discovery, surveyors and schemers, explorers and visionaries, and the people who helped to build Canada against the odds of geography and politics. Surrounded by a wild landscape that sparks imagination, fellow passengers recount train travels in other countries, get nostalgic for the era of steam locomotives, and consider life's unfinished journeys.</p> <p>Peppered with spirited dialogue, heartrending vignettes, and intriguing anecdotes, <i>Train Beyond the Mountains</i> is a travelogue with urgency: to make your travel dreams happen <i>now</i>. As one passenger muses, "The mistake we make is that we think we have time."</p>. Media Type: eBook.
