    I don't get the channel noted, but am curious as to what the series is about?

    Loosely about the Alaska RR, a lot of sidebars on folks living in rural Alaska. Tonight showed a bit about a freight movement and another about a pair of couples living far from the nearest town and using the passenger service. The freight piece was interesting for showing the crew dealing with mechanical and weather problems en route, the passenger piece was more about the people living along the route but was interesting for showing the train making flag stops - stated that ARR is the only service remaining that still does. If you get it, it's on Destination.

    :( No cable, no satellite. We cannot afford the idiotic fees, nor tolerate the utterly pathetic service in this area. :angry: I'd rather spend my few spare dollars on hobbies...

    The concept of a "doodlebug" was one thought. So perhaps an insect?
