Welcome to teh Forum, TexTom!

This program was the subject of an earlier thread, which you may find helpful. I located a PBS station nearby which shows the program, and would like to be able to watch it sometime!

Trying doing an internet search. I made a query for "tracks ahead" on AOL's television site. It listed two shows this week on channel 17 (San Francisco Bay Area): one this evening and another on Saturday afternoon. One of the shows covers a trip in Copper Canyon (Mexico). This is a popular tourist trip: my dad took it last year.
