Tonight is the night for the extreme trains program getting ready to watch and record! Earlier today the history chanel showed the history of the Circus Train! good fun.

BTW, on the History Channel web site they have some clips from the show. Based on the content of those, if you know a lot about how trains work, some of the material may seem pretty simplistic, but it still looks interesting. I will be watching.

So, what's you point?

My point was I wouldn't have started the second thread on the subject if I'd known of the existence of the first, and perhaps the person starting this thread wouldn't have either if he had known too.

Doesn't matter--people won't use it anyway.
How many posts have you seen about "how to lay track?"
People are too lazy to look things up.
Not going to miss that one Art, thanks for the heads up.
Found it on my dish and set up to record. The add looks interesting. Thanks for the headsup.

ABOUT THE SHOW
EXTREME TRAINS, hosted by real-life train conductor Matt Bown, reveals the incredible inner workings and past lives of the amazing locomotives that haul huge loads across the nation and deliver passengers to their destinations. The series shows the huge part these trains have played in shaping American history--and how vital trains are to American life today.
Coal TrainsPremieres Tuesday, November 11 at 10pm ET/9C In the premiere episode, Matt joins the coal train hauling a priceless cargo of coal through Pennsylvania from mine to power plant. Getting the train, which weighs 1,400 tons when full, over the Allegheny mountains can be quite a challenge. Matt pitches in with the crew as they load up the train and learns how the *** tried to blow the tracks during World War II.
