I found a lot of good information about the show when I did a search for it and found this site: http://www.tvparty.com/emflop.html . There's also some other interesting stuff about other shows that were flops on there. I also found a complete episode guide at http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/EpisodeGuideSummary/showid-2206/Supertrain/ . What I thought was especially interesting is that it said on the first site that the first model was built at a cost of $1 million and that when it was demonstrated for NBC executives that it crashed and was wrecked and a new one had to be built. A very good omen for how the show would do. I was born in 1986 and so obviously have never had a chance to see this show. I personally think that it would have been more successful had it just taken place on a regular luxury train. Not that it would have been a huge success or anything (but you never know), but probably a lot more people would have watched it. Having this gigantic train was way too far fetched and hard to believe for people to really take the show seriously and bother watching it.
