Sarnia Tunnel, Grand Trunk Railway 1903

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.
