Check out this video to see these brilliant machines - K.I.T.T. and the locomotive - showing off their AI as they dash through the countryside together.

I know what think would've not swayed GE's decision, but I think if they would've used Airwolf, it would have been way much cooler. My own opinion of course.

Smart trains. Smart cars. Cool stuff. Back in 1984 I bought a brand spanking new black trans am similar to the Knight Rider car. I had a ball with that thing. Now I'm quite happy to be running my smart MTH and Legacy engines and driving a 1993 Rx7 Mazda Rotary for fun if I venture from the cellar. It's all good.
if you follow NS on their facebook page, they put up alot of good photos!
That's on my, now old, mainline. That is Stoney Battery Bridge, just north of Troutville, Va. The rest was taken just north of the siding at Lithia, Va., the last signal passed is named Ellis Run. The land on the other side of the wooden fence is a nice horse farm.
I got into a spirited conversation with a Texas Utilities U18B in Erie, BLDG 10 back in the day. For a low brow little cornhusker, the chooch was amazingly well informed on just about anything from Eva Peron to Frank Zappa. One of my co-workers later fessed up to powdering my snuff can. Guess now that would be unnecessary.
Considering the colorful things I said to the GE Dash 9's when I worked for NS, it's probably a good thing they can't talk...
Ah, the gool 'ole 80s!

Yes sir groudhogslayer Airwolf all the way. To me it was more serious than the more "cartoon like" Knight Rider. Plus that Bell helicopter was just plain awsome.

Airwolf was neat, but I'll still take the Bell 47G N975B from Whirlybirds... (If that doesn't date me, nothing will.)

There was only one "Bad Boy", and it wasn't Knight Rider, Whirlybirds or AirWolf.
Let me help refresh your memories:
I agree groundhogslayer. Airwolf was the best. And if we all remember, Blue Thunder was destroyed at the end of the movie by, drum roll please, a TRAIN.

Did'ja also happen to notice the train didn't even bother to stop?
Ahhh... Hollywood.
Rusty
One cool Helo!
Yes Rusty you're correct. I don't think I've ever seen a train stop in a movie after hits something on the tracks. Big Jim, I thgink Airwolf has one of the best TV themes songs ever. Followed closely by Hardcastle and McCormick and Street Hawk.

"The Right Way"
Yeah, but a small part of me would still like to see it come to DVD someday. 
(very cool clip compiliation above, BTW!)
The opening video posted by FarmerBill seems to have been marked private now, so I guess I lose for snoozing on checking this out...
The diesel in Back to the Future III didn't stop either after destroying the Delorean and nearly taking out Marty McFly when he returned from the Old West. (If it had, would have made it hard for Doc to show up soon after with the Steam Train Time Machine!
)

CofG,
I don't know. It's a toss up between Airworf and Jonny Quest, but then again, I am sure there are some Lone Ranger and Paladin fans that will disagree with us both.
Seasons 1-3 DVD pack are available on Amazon.

Seasons 1-3 DVD pack are available on Amazon.
Steve
Yup, got 'em!
Believe it or not(I know it's generally hated), I actually would like to see Season 4 on DVD, that was the availability I was referring to.
-Dave
Big Jim, you maybe right about the Lone Ranger. And Johnny Quest was a great series. But if we are going to bring cartoons into this, I believe that Voltron takes top honors on theme music. As far as season 4 of Airwolf that's where they lost me. They kill off Dom I believe and String is in only a couple of episodes. Airwolf ain't Airwolf without String and Dom.

What with that sorry Voltron music and animation, that wasn't even a contest, much less a war of the worlds!
For those of you that enjoy good music enough to read the credits, I found the following documentary about Hoyt Curtin the man behind the Jonny Quest music. It is very interesting.

Sorry Big Jim I disagree. Voltron is a classic soundtrack.
