Mighty Trains

Documentary

Documentary

Passengers from around the globe explore breathtaking landscapes and experience different modes of luxury on mighty locomotives. Host/narrator Teddy Wilson describes Japan's trains as "an ingenious system of sensors and centralized operations -- a system so successful that during the devastating earthquake in 2011 every bullet train in the Shinkansen system was stopped in its tracks before the earthquake struck, keeping passengers on the bullet trains safe." From luxury to vintage to high-speed and even revolutionary, these trains navigate Canada's terrain, Japan's earthquake zones and every place in between. Jump behind the scenes with the engineers and crews as they travel to distant locales.
