But the main character is away from his child for long stretches of time because of the nature of his work.

Main character’s family is presumed dead after a fire burns their home down while the character is away. No goodbye, and no closure confirmation/on their deaths either.

Two deer are killed. Both happen off-screen, but you can see the antlers in the second one.
Horses potentially die in the middle, but if they do, it is off-screen and unspoken.
There is a dead bear featured at a logging site later in the film.

In the beginning of the film, a Chinese man building the train with Granier is grabbed by a group of men and thrown from the rail bridge to his death.

To add to the other comment, it’s around 1 hour 12 minutes 50 seconds on Netflix. It is audio and visual. Look away and mute for 20 seconds (all good by 1 hour 13 minutes and 10 seconds)

There are moments of extreme anxiety for the main character but I wouldnt say full panic attack and nothing that would cause myself to have a panic attack (if you also have them when you hear them)
