KAMLOOPS — A prominent local filmmaker, Adam MacKay-Smith, has had one of his famous ‘Johnny Canuck’ videos featured by Canucks Sports and Entertainment again.

This time, the video used a Kamloops prop, the 2141 steam locomotive – standing in as the ‘West Coast Express.’ The steam train shots were filmed on November 20. 

MacKay-Smith told CFJC Today, “I grew up playing on the train when it sat in Riverside Park as a kid, so it’s a dream of mine to make a movie with it years later.”

Hummingbird Drones, a local Kamloops business, also helped with the production.
