We watched it, and found many mistakes. The producers didn't count on such informed and observant "Train Spotters" watching the show. <br />1. Opening Scene: The kid is sitting on the floor; aren't there three chairs in loco cabs? <br />2. Warehouse: I don't think plasma TVs or computers would carried in boxcars. <br />3. Part where they went over photos from other wrecks: The CSX GE is stopped just past the broken bridge, with its cars over the bridge, standing normally. <br />4. Sacramento "Switchyard": Nuclear waste would never be put in a UTLX tank car, never mind in the middle of a manifest; BNSF or UP would never let FBI agents in a yard without "Railroad Cop" escorts; only one yard engine is shown, wouldn't such a big yard have more switchers? <br />5. The loco in the Cajon Pass derailment is #4404, an SR 11-12, with 4420 horsepower. They then show a set of BNSF GEs. <br />
