I watched it and do agree that it was stupid, but I suppose that it could have been much worse. The thing that really upset me is that they went on so much about how the railroads try to cover up accidents and are all totally corrupt and evil. I'm surprised that BNSF was willing to let them film in a yard of their's and show an engine of their's when they're talking about the railroad covering up an accident that was due to negligent maitenance and paying off the widow of the dead engineer. This show wasn't exactly good publicity for the railroad industry. The other thing that I didn't like was how they portrayed the young railfan that they interviewed at the railroad museum about these accidents. I wanted to throw a rock at the TV when he said to the girl, "Accidents are just one small part of railroad history. Perhaps you'd like to find out more over dinner?" We aren't a bunch of geeky losers like that! Also, did anyone notice... 1. When the guy is looking on the computer to find a train that's close to the one involved in the wreck the saboteur was in, he tries to find simmilarities like number of cars, length of train, engine model, etc. As he's saying these things, we see images of trains with this data being written on the screen. When he says "engine model", we see "Engine Model: SR11-12" come on the screen. What's an SR11-12? I wonder if they make a model of one in HO. 2. Closer to the beginning, they're talking about the above-mentioned train. As they are, they're showing different images trains, simmilar to the above-mentioned sequence. One of the clips that they show is of a steam locomotive puffing lots of black smoke, pulling a freight across a bridge!
