Time to wake up this topic.
The 'Science' channel Impossible Engineering current series 6 is all 'Extreme Railroads'. Tonights episode is 'Rise of the Hyperloop' about a Virgin (not Elon Musk) project.
On my provider all of this seasons episodes are worth a view and are available under free On Demand - good if you got it. Can't find them using the search function though. Due to the acquisition of former Scripps channels (Travel, Food, etc) by Discovery Networks and the homogenizing of content (channel name has little meaning) the back episodes could be anywhere - Travel, Science, Discovery, AHC, etc, etc. Arggh.

Re: 'Air Disasters'
Maybe the disaster was caused by air brakes ?
I have DirecTV. There are 6 episodes of extreme railroads available on demand.
None of them are scheduled to air. My wife said she saw the Hyperloop episode last night while I was sleeping and she wasn't. That was followed by an apology for not recording it for me.

They probably did - Krogers includes Dillons, Ralphs, Bakers, King Shoppers, Fry's and Smith's. Royal Ahold markets itself as Giant and Martins in various markets. Anymore with brand names one really doesn't know the organization behind them.

It's totally about the $$$. Higher rated shows are now moved around the channels to equalize viewership, in order that all the channels and their adverts get bundled. Now back to topic.
NHK World has many shows that feature local railroads. The obvious ones are Japan Railway Journey and Train Cruise, but don't overlook other travel related shows; many different passenger train modes are available in country and are well used. Best of all, NHKW programming is available completely free without connection to paid or OTA distribution - find their app on Roku, Android, etc.

I saw "They Shall Not Grow Old" earlier this year, and ifyou get the chance to see it DON'T pass it up! Trust me on this one, it's stunning!
The restored WW1 footage is amazing, and especially so when the story shifts to the Western Front and the colorized film pops out at you. Superbly done, it's like the First World War happened last week instead of 100 years ago.
The film is backed up with voice interviews of British WW1 vets recorded on the 50th Anniversary.
Don't miss it if you have the opportunity to watch it!
Here's a sample...

The debts old men create that get paid with the lives of young men!
Meant to mention these programs when they aired first.
On the Science Channel the Building Giants series has two train related episodes, one on the Italian Frecciarossa running between Milan and Rome, and the other on the construction of the Brenner Base Tunnel being constructed between Austria and Italy. On Comcast these episodes are available with Free On Demand until later this year IIRC.
