Recorded over 9 years, this film focuses on the S&C's 'mountain section' and the arduous climbs made by steam locos to reach it. Every effort has been made to capture and process the pictures and sound as faithfully to the original events as possible, to immerse you in each moment. A concise commentary is timed to avoid conflict with the main elements: the engines, places, wildlife and weather.
