Yes...an excellent program it is. I'll be up late tonight watching it; I'm assuming it's the new episode and not the one we've all seen umteen times. Thanks for posting.

Excellent show.  Covered Bailey Yard, locomotives, freight cars, intermodal operations, Alemeda Corridor, and dispatch/communications.
