Your ticket
to some of the most thrilling, high-octane train rides in history is
here! Extreme Trains host Matt Brown, a real-life railroad
conductor from New England, brings his infectious passion for these
monster machines to rail journeys across the United States. Feel the
force of railroads in history, and see how railroading is about more
than machines, cargo and challenging terrain. From the demolition of
Penn Station, to the first train robbers and how the Nazis tried to
blow up the rails in World War II, to the human blood, sweat and
tears of the stokers, engineers, and bathroom cleaners that keep the
industry moving, tag along with Matt on one of history's most
exciting rides. Episodes include Amtrak's Empire Builder, The
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Freight Train, The Norfolk Southern
Coal Train, The Ringling Bros. Circus Train and The Union Pacific
