Trains Magazine General Discussion

My employee paper noted an upcoming TV program of possible interest:

“The recent moves of Big Boy No. 4023 and Centennial No. 6900 to the new Kenefick Park in Omaha are coming to TV. A documentary crew filmed both moves for the ‘Mega Moves’ TV series, and the Big Boy/Centennial episode is scheduled to air on the TLC cable network July 7 at 9 p.m. CDT. The episode also includes the move of a railroad depot in New Mexico.”

That’s tomorrow night–my wife will be manning the VCR for me.

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.

Had to laugh at your comment, Eric–My daughter watches this channel a lot, so I’ve seen it when we’ve visited there. 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).

13

How very right you are, Eric! 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.”

14

I agree. Those shows have just about ruined a good channel.

15

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. [:)]

16

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.

17

Ill be watching it tonight.
Allan.
