Reply Edit ericsp Member sinceMay 2015 5,134 posts Posted by ericsp on Wednesday, July 6, 2005 10:32 PM TLC still has shows other than people redecorating another person's home? I remember when one could be fairly certain something interesting would be on that channel at just about any time.

Pat turned the TV to that channel to see whether we got it, and there was the same old picture of somebody's worldly possessions being divided into "keep" and "sell" piles. Anyway, the show's tonight, 9:00 Central Time, 10 Eastern and Pacific (from what I've been told). Carl Railroader Emeritus (practiced railroading for 46 years--and in 2010 I finally got it right!)

I used to watch TLC quite frequently, but not very much anymore. Those were the days! Anyway, I'll definetly be tuning in and taping it tonight. It sounds very good. On my digital guide, when I push "Info" for the program, all it says is, "Two father-son teams have big loads to move."

Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, July 7, 2005 1:18 PM If you miss it, it looks like it will be repeated at 1:00 am, that's eastern time. I'm thinking that would be 12:00 midnight central time. But like they say, check your local listings.

Those shows have just about ruined a good channel. Yes they certainly have. I thought the whole purpose of The Learning Channel is to teach it's viewers about something worth while. Instead we have shows on teaching people how to seperate other people's posessions into the trash and keep plies and maybe a good will pile. Extream Makeover, In a Fix, Trading Places, and some other show that I can't think of desicrate the good name of TLC!! lol At least they have some sence to show a decient program tonight (Eastern Standard Time)!!! Thanks Carl and I'll be poping a tape in along with Pat tonight. hehe. LORD HELP US ALL TO BE ORIGINAL AND NOT CRISPY!!! please? Sarah J.M.

Reply Edit Trainnut484 Member sinceOctober 2002 From: Kansas City area 833 posts Posted by Trainnut484 on Thursday, July 7, 2005 10:22 PM That was a good show. It looked scary for a bit when one of the dolly's broke hauling the Big Boy over the tracks. Also impressing was seeing the Big Boy's face peek over the hill. Could you imagine driving the opposite direction and seeing that [:0] coming right at you[?] Hauling the depot was good too. They could've been more prepared in moving the Centennials' trucks. Did you see the chain snap when the catapiller tried to move it[?] [V] Take care, Russell All the Way!

Glad to see a railroad program on once and a while. Alec Check out my pics!

I guess he meant UP and BNSF.

I have gotten off of a lot of the TLC and History Channel shows because they are usually so slow paced, but this one moved right along (you should pardon the expression). My wife even sat through it and almost enjoyed it. Nice how the power utility in NM didn't bother to show up to raise the wires along the interstate. I guess since they were probably blocking I-10 at that point, somebody from law enforcement reminded them to get their cherry pickers out there. All in all, a pretty entertaining hour.

It was really something to see just how much work it takes to move these things. It was a real eye-opener. You certainly can't get stressed out too easily when you have a job like that!

The part I found hairy was watching moving crew member get under the lifts to see if everything was going OK. The idea of a Big Boy dropping or tipping over on me just freaks me out. Otherwise, it was a pretty good show. Jay "We have met the enemy and he is us." Pogo Possum "We have met the anemone... and he is Russ."
