[:D] LOL, you really had me laughing here....

Never noticed this at all, but that sounds hilarious.

I'm with tomtrain on this one, I just don't watch TV anymore (at least not like I used to).

Funny about those shows you have mentioned, I've never watched a single one of them, but it would be cool too see the railfan episodes.

Oh well.

I watched a good bit of Ronald Reagan's funeral this week; the last time before that was when Baghdad fell in March of last year. Prior to that, it was on when golfer Payne Stewart's plane was off course and headed for a crash. I don't watch any "entertainment" shows. And I also don't worry about what those freaks and perverts and elitist muti-millionaires think about me! Just remember, they think EVERYONE between New York and Los Angeles is a rube, and easily led. They really don't have a very high opinion of anyone outside of their little world. Don't lose any sleep about it, bnsf.

I did see a show on the Challenger not too long ago and I did't find anything insulting about it. Other than that I haven't seen many shows about trains or railfans on TV lately.

Have you ever noticed, when watching a TV show that usally airs on NBC, CBS, ABC, or Fox, that whenever they have an episode that has a railroad buff, they ALWAYS make that person Mentally Retarded. To me, that is INSULTING us railfans. Just the other day, on my way home from New Mexico, I was watching Highlander, and they had a railbuff, and off course, Mentally Retarded. Always Stating facts about the railroads (At least the got the corrct date for Amtraks Start Up date correct). Other Examples of this Happaning has been "Touched by an Angle", "JAG", "Walker Texas Ranger", "Early Edition", and many others. However, that Highlander Episode did have some nice shots of C425's, SD40-2's. SD40-2F's, Slugs, BCR 3860 and 3716. However, they did damage the 3716 when Duncan McCloude Ran his sword through the Firemans side window.

Other than that, what do you guys thing about this. I mean, we are NOT Mentally retarded for liking trains, are we? Its insulting. Just my [2cs] worth
