PITTSBURGH — As a kid, Stephen Low would often take long train rides across Canada to visit his grandparents. Over time, those trips turned into a lifelong fascination with trains that eventually led to a job with the Canadian Pacific Railway in northern Ontario.
"Somewhere there was that moment when ordinary becomes mystical," Low told the Post-Gazette of those early travels by train. "A little kid on a train sort of falls in love."
That child eventually grew up to be a prolific filmmaker specializing in documentaries made specifically for huge Imax screens. It was only a matter of time before Low made a movie about trains. It took him three years to complete, but he is now finally ready to unveil "Train Time," which follows a BNSF Railway freight train along its regularly scheduled journey across North America.
