Well you know how boring trains can be to the general public..He just adds zip to the show..
I suspect Mike Rowe would have been better but,he's not a railroader and to busy getting dirty.

Now that's something I would like to see. Lot's of places on the railroad where someone can get dirty.
Re: Extreme Trains - Puddlejumper - 01-05-2009
I voted Mike Rowe for President.
Not really, but would have if he ran. he is an awesome host, and hard worker, and from my home state. He would have been a great host for ET.

You may be on to something. They should have a special dirty railroad jobs show.
Re: Extreme Trains - eightyeightfan1 - 01-05-2009
He's already did tie replacement.
Re: Extreme Trains - csiguy68 - 01-05-2009
im glad they are going to do another season of the series. even though the host is rather "differant", the show is still pretty good and i learned a few things i never knew before. and im sure the host is an awsome guy too.
mike rowe though was very good on the dirty job epsisode in which he did tie replacement. i was getting tired just watching him on that particular episode.

LOL yeah he does have a tendency to break things but at least he is willing to get dirty! He also sings one heck of an opera!

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.

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.

Re: Extreme Trains - ezdays - 01-14-2009
Oh, BTW, it sees like they're into some reruns right now, so those of you that missed the coal train series, it's on this week.
Re: Extreme Trains - MountainMan - 01-14-2009
Yep...they're still dragging the "priceless load of coal" around.
