CP Rail

Description:

Short video of the work being done by Canadian Pacific Rail as part of the Rogers Pass project. CP is digging a train tunnel through Mount Macdonald, using a tunnel boring machine called a mole to dig from the east side (the tunnel entrance) and the conventional method of drilling, blasting and mucking to dig from the west side. The west portal is the tunnel exit. This video describes the digging process in detail, including close-up ups the mole in operation and tunnel muck on conveyors for removal from the tunnel. There are also visuals of the use of laser beams and electronic surveys to ensure accuracy. After the tunnel is dug, the next step is the finishing operation, which consists of two tasks, benching and lining. The benching process will cut the lower walls and floor of the tunnel to achieve its final shape. Lining consists of constructing the concrete lining and the roadbed. CP expects the tunnel to be completed in 1987. <4mn>

1. Audio Channel 1 only.~2. Slate at the start of this video gives the date 1985-07-08 and the closing credit identifies this as CP Rail production from 1985.~3. The slate also lists McKim Montreal, The Editors (apparently a production company) and The Magnetic North Corporation.~4. The cassette label is from PFA Motion Picture and Video Laboratories, the production company is identified as Reel Ideas and the date is given as 1988-11-21, and all of this information appears to pertain to the date of this dub, and does not pertain to the original production from 1985.~5. Title on slate is Rogers Pass Project -- Macdonald Tunnel
