    I wish I could see this show. The PBS station in Phoenix, fifth largest city in America, will not show this series.

    Phoenix's KAET is listed on that website as a participant, but that's simply wrong.
    Oh well, at least they are still showing Thomas! :D

    Looks like their web page could use some updating.

    Darn! We have two PBS stations in our cable package. Neither carries the show.

    I just found out that the PBS station in Dallas (KERA) is now going to carry the show.

    Does anyone here in the Metroplex know when it will air?

    In the meantime, I will try to find it on their website.

    I didn't find it on the website but I did email the local PBS station in Dallas and just got a reply.

    KERA will begin showing the Tracks Ahead show on Saturday Feb 11 from 9:30 - 10.

    If you get KERA (Channel 13) in the Dallas metroplex, tune in.

    I've got it here in the Reno area. I'm glad that KNPB has some good sense. I was excited to see a new program this past week. They are showing the 2005 series now. For a while they had been showing REALLY OLD repeats( like 1998 timeframe).

    It's a great show. They have a lot of variety for fans of different interests.

    I managed to DVR 8 episodes last night, mostly from 2008. What a great series!

    The episode called "Maine Narrow Guage" (first aired 11/08/08) includes a visit to Kato, Japan. A very nice segment. I learned I have been pronouncing it wrong! "kahhtoe" not "kaytoe" Who knew?!

    As a matter of fact I just did. You'll have to forgive me I was up early this morning......I have to leave at 4am to beat the traffic on the 405 into santa monica. Do all of us in so cal need to email this station and let them know we like this show? :thumbs_up: do it now. I heard they canceled extreme trains on history channel.

    Thanks for the San Bernardino info. Unfortunately my Cox cable in Palos Verdes does not carry that PBS station.

    I would advise that any list of PBS stations carrying Thracks Ahead isn't all that trustworthy. WMHT in the Albany, NY, area has been included in such compilations for a long time but its actual program listings hasn't contained this show in years.

    Anyone actually interested in the shows is probably better off purchasing the commercially available full season CD.
