Aaargh! I don't get that channel!
I did see a GG-1 on The War on PBS. They showed it pulling a passenger train, and then cut to an interview of a woman in Alabama talking about greeting furloughed G.I.'s. They didn't come out and say that this was a train going through Alabama, but they didn't bother to remind people that it wasn't, either.
The War may not be about trains, but it's still pretty interesting, and hour for hour you'll see more 20th century steam engines on this show than pretty much anything else.
