For train aficionado and hopeless romantic John Lee (Peter Alexander), life at the end of World War II is difficult enough as a man of Asian-mixed descent. The grandwon to one of the many Chinese railroad laborers who helped forge a new America, John holds idealistic visions of saving a short-line train that runs through the gorgeous vistas of Yosemite Valley. With the help of the railroad’s long-time employees (Michael Stipe of R.E.M. and Henry Gibson of Nashville and Magnolia), John makes it his year-long mission to turn the railroad around, while simultaneously courting a beautiful Native American park guide (Jeri Arredondo).
