The Maryland Science Center invites visitors to get their fall
entertainment on the right track as the film Rocky Mountain Express
chugs into the St. John Properties IMAX Theater beginning November 11.

Rocky Mountain Express recounts one of the greatest engineering feats in human history, the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885. Spanning thousands of miles across some of the world’s greatest natural barriers, this grand transcontinental project drew together far flung communities isolated in the wilderness, shaped a new nation, and changed the face of the North American continent forever.

Retracing the original route aboard the majestic steam engine 2816,
the audience is transported back to the age of steam to re-live this
alpine nation-building odyssey. The film weaves together spectacular
aerial cinematography featuring breathtaking vistas of the West on the
5-story IMAX screen, and the rhythms of a real steam locomotive on the theater’s 12,000 watt, 38 speaker, surround sound system.

Audiences will discover some of the most beautiful and rugged
landscapes on earth and the heroic human drama and epic engineering that shaped a continent.

Rocky Mountain Express will be shown in the Maryland Science Center’s St. John Properties IMAX Theater Fridays and Saturdays at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. from November 11, 2011 through January 1, 2012. The Maryland Science Center is located at 601 Light Street at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
