Model Train Crosses Canada In Amazing Photography Project
A stunning photography project showing a train crossing Canada is made even more amazing by the fact the train is just two inches tall.
Jeff Friesen's work captures the travels of a GBP 950 scale model vintage 1955 streamliner passenger train against picturesque landscapes.
Entitled The Canadian: Ghost Train Crossing Canada, the series evolved from Jeff's wish to show off his native country.
He explains: "I started The Canadian project to show Canada from an unexpected vantage point.
"The journey has a surprise twist: I carry the train rather than it carrying me. At just two inches (5 cm) tall, it fits into a shopping bag.
"While it is tempting to document such a huge country from a helicopter or plane (in fact, it has been done several times) I wanted to get closer to the heart of the land. Two inches off the ground seemed about right.
"The model train provides a vehicle for the journey's visual narrative, linking far places with a ribbon of tiny steel rails. The train has its own resonance: a ghost from the past, it is an exact scaled-down replica of the 1955 Streamliner that was first named "The Canadian," which travelled the route between Montreal and Vancouver.
"There is some peril in introducing a model train to the full scale world. In Nova Scotia the train fell into a fast moving stream and was quickly carried to the Atlantic shore. In Ontario's Algonquin Park the train fell off a log into a marsh of thick mud and dark water. I had to feel for the train in the bog's murky depths...the train wasn't the only thing down there. In Ottawa I was setting up the train behind the Parliament Buildings and was quickly approached...
