Everyone's a damn critic. Like they could have done any better. I'm hoping this won't be the last of Extreme Trains for the History Channel. Aah, railfanning is great once you set aside the smelly dorks and detail freaks that give Star Wars fans a run for their money.
Right ON BRO!
The show is geared to the GENERAL PUBLIC and American Idol set, you gotta have action, jump cuts, vibrating cameras - just like COPS and the latest Hollywood stuff.
Who, in his [90% or more XY chromosome types are railfans, even though some XX's are present] mind will think this show is for railfans?
For one thing, they don't spend any dinero except for scanners, film [OK SD Cards] and greasy food.
Take it as it is. Seeing Steve Lee on 844 is good enough for me.
I guess ABO Canyon landed up on the cutting room floor - too bad.
The proof of the pudding is seeing Matt at work. But that, I think would not be too interesting as far as the entertainment industry is concerned.
There are many FOAMERS who are quite competent/exceptional who work for the railroads and are in the closet since RR management frowns upon enthusiasm and love of the job.
Good to see any positive railroad coverage. My kudos to the History Channel.
If you can't dazzle them with brilliance -
Baffle 'em with bulls**t...
