Did anyone see this last night?
First episode and was about the coal route (Can't remember what the route was called) of a US train from coal face to power station. Apart from the over enthusiastic presenter who appeared not to be able to talk much below 90db it wasn't a bad show.
The gradients on the journey was quite surprising and it took in some great locations - horseshoe pass.
There was also an interesting part on a workshop which was just enormous. They could even lift the loco and move it around the shop with a giant crane.

I've been thinking about buying a couple of US locos for a while now.
