DON'T MISS: "Trains and Locomotives" "Daylight: The Most Beautiful Train in the World" this Monday and Tuesday

PingmanOGR Forum Member

"Trains and Locomotives" on RFD TV airs on Monday evening, 12/29, @ 6:00-7:00 p.m. EST. The program title is "Daylight: The Most Beautiful Train in the World." The program repeats at 4:30 a.m.-5:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, 12/30.

RFD TV is shown on ATT-Uverse channels 568 and 1568(HD); Direct TV channel 345; Verizon channel 247; and, Dish channel 231. If your cable channel isn't listed and it carries RFD TV, your reply here is especially welcome.

EDIT: I just watched the Monday evening airing of this program and it was terrific for this non-railfan. Plenty of video of the train; interesting interviews about the train's origins; its unique equipment; the scenery it rolled in; and much more. Set your DVR and capture this program--it's a keeper.

Carl, if you had anything to do with the timing of this showing, THANK YOU. It sure hit a nerve this morning. Do you wonder why?

Brian, when I saw the title of the show, I thought the same thing about you--PTC has friends everywhere, so why not RFD TV?

Coming as it does a couple of weeks after the Super Chief show, it's been a heckuva a way to end the year--saving he best for last.

We watched this show as well and thoroughly enjoyed it. Probably the greatest passenger train in USA history.

I LOVE the Daylight. Thanks for the heads up! I can't wait for my new train room to get done so I can run my 8 car Daylight set.....

If/when you watch that show, please take note of the profound absence of Daylight-themed cab forwards. Hint, hint, hint...

One of the best shows I feel I have ever seen on Trains & Locomotives. Record this on the overnight showing. It is a keeper!

We watched the program as well last evening and I agree that is was very well done. Certainly held your interest all the way through.

If you love passenger trains, it is a keeper.

I watched this first on my local PBS station, and was really happy that RFD-TV ran it last night! I recorded it, and kept that along with the one from the week before on the Super Chief. Both great viewing!
