Train Tracks to Nowhere “What lies before us down the tracks? A head?”

This is one of my favorite lines from Wind at my Back and it came from the episode “Train to Nowhere”. Strangely enough, we actually had train tracks to nowhere on the Wind at My Back set. Fortunately we never found a head on them but we did find some surprises now and then.
The Great, Movable New Bedford Train Station One of the biggest dilemma’s during the filming of the first season of Wind at my Back was how to get the various characters from place to place. Cars were a luxury that few could afford in the 1930’s, so most people travelled long distances by train. However, trying to find period appropriate train stations and trains these days is extremely difficult… especially in the same location. The solution: Build a train station that we could take to the train.
Make Hay When the Sun Shines? Dealing with the changing seasons is always challenging for filmmakers and Wind at my Back was no exception. In this photo of Hub (Dylan Provencher) working in the field from Episode 6 – “Something from Nothing”, it appears that he is taking hay off the field on a hot summer day. In reality, Dylan was probably quite cold and wet because it was actually late Fall and it had been raining incessantly.

  • The Incredible, Shrinking Lighthouse
    The Incredible, Shrinking Lighthouse The Incredible, Shrinking Lighthouse One of the most recognizable visual elements of "Road to Avonlea" is the lighthouse. Standing atop a cliff overlooking the ocean it served not only as Gus Pike’s home but as a backdrop for many key Avonlea moments. However, what you may not know is that there were actually two lighthouses and neither one of them overlooked the ocean.

    Biking Prince Edward Island Sometimes the best way to experience the scenic beauty of a place like P.E.I isn’t through the clouded window of a tour bus or the closed-in atmosphere of a long car ride.  Instead, cycling may be the most appropriate way to take in the sand dunes, forests and red clay roads under your tires.  In the words of Katherine Brooke from Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel, if people, “want to know - not just believe that the world is round,” they may want to try this more organic traveling experience.
