figured I let you know new season starts tonight at 10 pm on destination America channel. Should be some interesting comments on this subject.

Thanks, I thought that one had been dis-continued? I'll set the recorder and check it out.

Thought so too. Didn't that farce used to be on The Discovery Channel?
Oh no not another season.
Having just traveled three hundred miles of this line a few months ago I will be watching for familiar landmarks.

Hmmm...I don't remember, but if it was on Discovery before, maybe this is just a repeat of the same old series on another channel? Guess we will see.

I saw that when I went to record it. They had a bunch of old episodes on first, then the new one came later.
Same old made up drama. Same inconsistent train shots. Crew on a MAC - then a GP, but supposedly same train.
Gonna have a live feed all day for Christmas .
I'll check out the "Live Feed" on Thanksgiving. But if it is really a "Live Feed", it is dark at 9am Eastern. 9am Eastern is 5am up here in Alaska.
Nancy and Jim are the Off Gridder Stars
"Real Time Ride" - Thanksgiving Day - Just set my DVR. I am onboard.

At seward , there is a clever wye. The GP-38s do yard and barge unloading\loading. the MAC's wait for the new cars and then pull to Anchorage.
This is off the grid, man!
Reminds me of a bad railroad soap opera 
Way to much acting to make it fill real. The best parts are the non-railroad related scenarios such as the project's that's being worked on by those who get the goods that at least are delivered by rail.
Sorry,I just couldn't watch it all the way thru,I was very disappointed .
I enjoy the track workers and the equipment to keep the line open. Several tons of rock on the rail, misaligned track, ice removal in the yards and avalanche clearing, on the rail seems realistic.
I wish they would show maintenance on the locomotives.
I just sit there episode after episode shaking my head about the "off grid" people. What would possess someone to move into a deadly frozen wilderness? You would have to be a different kind of soul. My idea of roughing it is Holiday Inn without a pool!

Agreed. "Reality TV" is usually a contradiction in terms, and certainly so in this case. I also tried watching one episode but it hurt my brain...
Yeah, I also don't get the 'off the grid' types either. The part that really confuses me is that if they're trying to exist without anyone else, why would they sign on to be on TV?
And where in the H E double hockey sticks do they get their money?
