Re: Northlander Footage



Francis,

That train is run by the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission.  Try
contacting them directly, their website is
http://www.ontc.on.ca/english/index.html  I'm sure that thier PR Department
will be glad to help.

Chandos Television did a documentary on the train, see their website at
http://www.datacom.ca/~chandos/topb.html

You might also want to recheck the CBC's archives for the "Polar Bear
Express"
