Perhaps..... then again if I did I imagine about 200,000 subscribers to the local paper also did....
This is what their web site www.history.com says:
(Nothing about Strasburg - should still be interesting though)
8:00 PM
Modern Marvels: Locomotives Zip through the French countryside at nearly 300 MPH on the TGV--the fastest locomotive in the world. Ride on the little engines that could as they guide giant ships through the Panama Canal. Watch two locomotives crash head-on as the federal government monitors safety. Descend 700 feet below the earth's surface where mining locomotives move miners through a maze of tunnels. Then, it's a "jiffy lube" for locomotives inside America's largest maintenance shop. Finally, glide into the future with a locomotive that levitates on a cushion of air.
Great! someone found it! (below) I will be watching.

I feel I owe the membership here an apoligy. Roughly 4 months ago the local media (I live less than 1 hour away from Strasburg) ran newspaper and tv articles about how the History Channel was to feature Strasburg RR in an episode to be aired in march 2008. From the media articles as well as Strasburg's own website it appeared as though it would be an in-depth Strasburg RR show. It was plainly not to be.
So, for the last 4 months I had many here waiting to see the "big one" only to see maybe 8 minutes of Strasburg. Perhaps I read into more than what the articles actually said, perhaps I was naive in assuming that it would be as they said, perhaps, perhaps......perhaps........
Anyway, I apoligize to any of you that were disappointed in what they got versus what I posted here.

No need Ken, we're all old enough to read through the media hype for ourselves. You were working with the best information available to you. The producer is responsible for the content. Strasburg was responsible for the hype. Maybe they were mislead too. I think that a lot of us appreciate the heads up you gave us.

No way, I appreciate any show, movie, or presentation concerning trains.
Thank you for your efforts.
