The Canadian Rocky Mountains, as seen from about 35,000 feet in the air aboard Westjet flight 210, a 737-800 bound for YYC Calgary International Airport from YVR Vancouver International Airport. The trip to Calgary is a very easy 1 hour hop over the mountains.
The Middy ran their Cockerill 0-4-0VB engine but it was not powerful enough to push the train up the 1:37 gradient so had to be assisted by the Ruston diesel - all good fun!

Mortal Engines is a 2018 post-apocalyptic adventure film directed by Christian Rivers and with a screenplay by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Peter Jackson, based on the novel of the same name by Philip Reeve, and starring Hera Hilmar, Robert Sheehan, Hugo Weaving, Jihae, Ronan Raftery, Leila George, Patrick Malahide, and Stephen Lang. An American–New Zealand co-production, the film is set in a post-apocalyptic world where entire cities have been mounted on wheels and motorised, and prey on one another.
Jackson purchased the rights to the book in 2009, but the film languished for several years before being officially announced in 2016. Jackson picked Rivers, who won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for his work on Jackson's King Kong, to make his directorial debut with the project, and also brought on several members of his production teams from the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film series. Filming took place from April to July 2017 in New Zealand.

Just some facts:
This engine drives one of the steepest trains in the world,it has declared as a world heritage by the UN guys. The train shuttles bw Metupallayam to Ooty.
It seems that diesel engine doesn;t have enough power to drive the steep train so a old steam engine is still being used.
