About This Movie

Rolling Stone (1992) is a fascinating documentary that dives into the inner workings of Whatley Quarry's Class 59 locomotive fleet. Shot during a pivotal time when these locomotives were fresh off the production line, it captures the gritty reality of quarrying operations with a certain rawness that immerses you in the world of heavy machinery. The pacing feels almost methodical, allowing you to appreciate the detailed process behind the Class 59 purchase decision and the technical specs that come with such powerful engines. There's something really compelling about watching construction footage from General Motors in Canada, seeing the locomotives come to life. It's not just about trains; it’s about the evolution of rail transport in the context of industry. Quite distinct in its niche, it's a gem for those who appreciate heavy engineering and transportation history.
