★★★ · I CAN SEE THE TRAIN TURNING! · Spuzz · 2014-02-18

Haphazard shot film about a couple's trip to the Grand Canyon and vicinity. They go by train, and who ever's shooting it can't waste film. Most of the shots on the train are less than 5 seconds long, so we're jumping all over the place. We do get some scenery shots (and train depot shots) of New Mexico. After a brief stop in SF, we arrive in the Grand Canyon, where thankfully, the jumpy filming stalls and we get shots of the wonder. AND THEN WE'RE OFF AGAIN.
