RFD-TV "Trains" Schedule
Posted by Jack_S on Wednesday, April 13, 2005 11:51 AM
Mondays & Tuesdays appear to be RR days on RFD-TV, with the online program guide listing "Trains and Locomotives" twice each day. Times vary with your time zone.

Their website:

www.rfd-tv.com

has an adjustment for that and gives me my schedule per Pacific Time. I then check it out on my DirecTV (Channel 379) schedule to confirm the time. I usually set my cell phone's alarm feature to remind my deteriorating brain to go watch the show.

spbed-I too have DirecTV and I get RFD (channel 379 for me too) so you might want to check it out to make sure! I had it and never even knew about it before stumbling on the tV show website.

For anyone with a C-Band dish RFD is available for free on G13 / Tr#24. It's digital so you will need a 4dtv receiver or equivilant.

I have Dish and het it on channel 9409 I dont have any of those fancy channels cause i only care about 1 football team and only one, the Denver Broncos, as long as i see that game I am happy. I also enjoy watching the horse training show and the classic tractors shows on RFD-TV as well.

You are very correct to say check times,but they have the 'trains'
programs on more the just Mon. Tues.
I'm sitting here looking at a schedule CW & I printed out.
Looks like the only day they don't have at least one train
'show' is Thursday.

The show listed "Trains and Locomotives" is actully the series "Machines of Iron." It is a great series about prototype trains with a heavy emphasis on steam. It comes on RFDTV at the follow times that I know of (and probably a couple more):
Monday 5:00 p.m. (central time), 11:00 p.m., Tuesday 5:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., Saturday 8:00 a.m. I usually catch the first showing and if it is really good I tape one of the others. It is a real "don't miss."
