Sarnia Tunnel, Grand Trunk Railway

Sarnia Tunnel, Grand Trunk Railway

Here, on Grand Trunk's main line between Canada and the US, one of Biograph's early production crews rode the pilot of a locomotive from Sarnia, Ontario to Port Huron, MI. The film features a view of the illuminated interior of Sarnia's St. Clair Tunnel and a lap dissolve which fades into the exit of the tunnel-- An impressive technique still in its infancy.
