Engineering the Impossible: The Rocky Mountaineer
Step inside the "Rolls-Royce of Trains" to discover how 50 engineers and a fleet of high-tech locomotives conquer the most treacherous terrain in North America. This documentary takes you behind the luxury of the Gold Leaf dome cars and into the heart of the Rocky Mountains. We explore the 3,000 HP General Motors engines, the precision of the 19th-century Spiral Tunnels, and the modern safety tech—from dimmable "suspended particle" windows to AI-powered grizzly bear warning systems.
