The Miracle of a Locomotive, 1928

Received the following via email. 

Silent Cinema in Quebec, 1896-1930 - Moving Pictures - The Miracle of a Locomotive

Building a CPR 4-8-4 Steam Locomotive from Scratch

Building a giant Canadian Pacific K1a 4-8-4 steam locomotive in 1928, from wood patterns, raw forgings, plate bending, foundry castings, etc., at Angus Shops in Montreal, through first break-in run..  If you've never seen some of these processes in locomotive construction carried out in motion (just stills), you'll no doubt re-run some segments.
