Czech Legion train in Siberia, Russia, during Russian Civil War and World War 1. An armed guard stands in front of a locomotive on a siding, and watches as another locomotive comes past on a parallel main track. Steam from the passing locomotive combines with snow to obscure the scene until the locomotive has past and cars in its train are seen. They consist of an assortment of rail cars, ending with open flat cars holding snow-covered cargoes. Several men stand nearby as the train proceeds. They are dressed in parkas and similar winter clothing. Scene shifts to view from atop rail cars, from where the railroad tracks are seen to be bordered by deep snow berms. Closeup of the locomotive funnel viewed from atop the train. The landscape is barren. But some local people are seen watching the train from near fences along the right of way. View backwards from atop the front of the train, which is very long, showing most its cars as it proceeds around a wide curve. View backwards as the train passes between tall show-covered hills.
