Do a web search for the title… quite a few hits in the list.
NBC has a web site for it:

Side bearing clips. If they are not worn out they’ll hold the truck up.
[:O]Firelock you really just entered the TWILIGHT zONE . The train just went around the station and the folks walked through the to the front to board the train again and again allon the same ticket. Cool.
Ah, so THAT’s what it was!
I guess it was a “Twilight Zone” efect as well when I fell asleep watching a show on World War One and woke up during World War Two!
“Hey, they didn’t have B-25’s during World War One! What gives?”
Maybe you woke up in an alternate timeline?
Nah, same old damn timeline, I still had to go to work in the morning!
(I see the avatar’s now Emily Blunt’s “Evil Pony.”
Private joke folks.
One month.
Yes, I know. Lady Firestorm still can’t find a little kid to borrow to take to the movie so she doesn’t have to answer any questions as to why she’s there. I told her she could always wait for it to come out on DVD, which doesn’t seem to take too long these days.
Another private joke, folks.
Ken Burns’ new documentary starts Sunday night. Probably won’t mention railroads at all but there were trains involved stateside. One train to Fort Jackson departed Penn Station on July 26, 1966.
Tonight the ‘Mighty Trains’ series on the Smithsonian channel is airing the episode on the White Pass and Yukon Route.
About a fifth of the show is devoted to the pre-season maintenance of the diesel locomotives, usually not seen on your typical travelogue.
The unique narrow gauge trains travel through spectacular natural scenery where that word is severe understatement. The cruise ships visiting Skagway seem to be giving them some critical business. Another trip for the bucket list …
I stumbled across this series on the Travel Channel: https://www.travelchannel.com/shows/worlds-most-extreme/episodes In addition to the Most Extreme Railroads episode the Tunnels and Bridges episodes contain railroad related items.
Time to wake up this topic.
The ‘Science’ channel Impossible Engineering current series 6 is all ‘Extreme Railroads’. Tonights episode is ‘Rise of the Hyperloop’ about a Virgin (not Elon Musk) project.
On my provider all of this seasons episodes are worth a view and are available under free On Demand - good if you got it. Can’t find them using the search function though. Due to the acquisition of former Scripps channels (Travel, Food, etc) by Discovery Networks and the homogenizing of content (channel name has little meaning) the back episodes could be anywhere - Travel, Science, Discovery, AHC, etc, etc. Arggh.
Re: ‘Air Disasters’
Maybe the disaster was caused by air brakes ?
I have DirecTV. There are 6 episodes of extreme railroads available on demand.
None of them are scheduled to air. My wife said she saw the Hyperloop episode last night while I was sleeping and she wasn’t. That was followed by an apology for not recording it for me.
That’s a really dumb idea. Good thing those that made that decision did not design my grocery store.
They probably did - Krogers includes Dillons, Ralphs, Bakers, King Shoppers, Fry’s and Smith’s. Royal Ahold markets itself as Giant and Martins in various markets. Anymore with brand names one really doesn’t know the organization behind them.
It’s totally about the $$$. Higher rated shows are now moved around the channels to equalize viewership, in order that all the channels and their adverts get bundled. Now back to topic. [:D]
NHK World has many shows that feature local railroads. The obvious ones are Japan Railway Journey and Train Cruise, but don’t overlook other travel related shows; many different passenger train modes are available in country and are well used. Best of all, NHKW programming is available completely free without connection to paid or OTA distribution - find their app on Roku, Android, etc.
I mostly shop at Aldi, as the quality has gone way up in the last few years; indeed, there are many items at Aldi that I like better than the ‘name’ brands.
The documentary “They Shall Not Grow Old” was released last year to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One. It is now in rotation on HBO. There is an interesting segment near the midpoint of the film on the prefab narrow gauge railways the British used to haul supplies from rear area depots to the front line trenches.
