Thanks for sharing Bob. Great film! The subjects in the film,both CP Northerns have been preserved...3100 is in Ottawa; 3101 is in Regina, Saskatchewan. Canadian Pacific and Canadian National's motive power preferences are interesting in their differences. CP had only the two Northerns, while the CN had 203. CP had 65 Hudsons however, while the CN owned only 5. The differences probably spring from the amount of lightly-laid rail lines CN inherited when it was formed. They needed 8-coupled drives to spread the engine weight along the rails. The 4-8-4's of both Canadian roads however were quite a bit smaller than most of the American Northern types.
Trains magazine had an extensiive feature on the CP 4-8-4's back in January 1976.

Look at this film and imagine guys like Jess Bennett, John Bortz, Frank Titman, Henry Spraque, Claude Wade, Andy Malette, Simon Parent, Fred Rousch and Rusty Rustermier being in this film! It was probably filmed in Rusty's workshop back a few years ago. Bob Werre I received this most magnificent Canadian silent film from 1928 about building a steam locomotive in Montreal. This is something I have never seen and it is incredible, someone saved a real film when they saved this one. http://www.cinemamuetquebec.ca/content/movies/23?lang=en I would love to see a full length feature of some of this kind of industry.
