Synopsis

Warning: screenonline full synopses contain 'spoilers' which give away key plot points. Don't read on if you don't want to know the ending!

A view from the front of a locomotive running through rural Canada along a railway track lined with telegraph poles. The train passes a series of wooden huts built opposite a forested hillside and passes a 'yard limit' sign. The train approaches a town with a large church standing tall among the wooden buildings and a large expanse of water on the left. Up ahead a wooden station platform approaches where two men wait to board.

The train passes cottages with Dutch-style roofs along a long straight. A different railway track is also lined with telegraph poles but surrounded by fields. The train approaches a warehouse building then rides around two sharp bends.
