Extreme Trains

[ezdays]

I been thinking..When THC approach the railroads about filming this show I can't help but wonder if the "host" railroads required a railroader or a person experienced around railroads-hobbyist need not apply.
After all there are many show hosts but,they hired a experience conductor instead.

That could very well be, or even the network's insurance carrier, or the network themselves might, since these are the guys that have to pay if the host breaks something. If Mike Rowe makes bad, it could cost them a few hundred or a few thousand dollars. Let him drive a train and break it, wow!!! Still, personality has a lot to do with who hosts a show and who doesn't.
