Locomotives on History Channel Tonight

[RobertInOntario]

Apparently, the History Channel will have a show on locomotives tonight at 8:00 (I think it's EDT). They'll have everything from American steam locos (I heard that they will feature the Strasburg RR in PA!) to ultra-fast modern French trains.

Sounds really good!

Here's the description:

I'm totally recording that, and the show that comes on after it

Someone just gave us an old VCR so I'm going to try to buy some VHS tapes tonight -- if you can still get them !

Yes, the show right after looks interesting too.

Dang! New TV guides from the newspapers give no details.
Is it on again?

After seeing all the wonders on rails.....I still think nuttin' beats coal, fire, and water....

I thought it was very disappointing - virtually the entire focus of the show was on diesels, ignoring the developing history of the nation's railroads in the process.

I thought it was good The part on the Strasburg was good.. I was in that engine once... Rode behind it a lot!!!

Never rode in the engine though

Nice watching it run!!

I had the good fortune of riding in the cab (along with several others...) of a 2-8-2 in San Luis Potosi (Mexico) that was touring the country in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Mexico City-Laredo RR line.It was being taken from the display tracks to the shops....What a ride...!!

Arggh ! It wasn't on our Canadian History Channel, at least not at 8:00 p.m. I must have found some US listings and our Cdn History Channel must have a different schedule. Maybe I'll search their site or even ask them. Or maybe I could buy it on DVD? Rob

Yes, that's what we had as well -- although I enjoy watching WW2 fighter planes and dogfights as well! :mrgreen:

I really would like to see this Train show though. I'll probably search the History Channel website to see if or when it might be on in Canada.
