Yeah, I got it here at 9:00PM, on the Buffalo PBS station. An interesting story and some great vintage footage.

Yeah. Most of the train footage I see is from the "railfan's" perspective - because it is part of a DVD or video targeting railfans. But while listening to the story, i was paying just as much attention to the type of freight car, type of trucks, the way the track looked, and the way the fright trains were made up. That one piece of footage that showed the train of billboard reefers was pretty cool.
