What I found a bit interesting is My dad has the Ho Scale Model of 6786
An already goofy show gets an even GOOFIER and poorly done rip-off
The PCCs are timeless…a true classic! 🚃
What song was at 47:45?
Did The Canadian's dining car stay in Sudbury after the split into 2 sections, one Toronto on Montreal, or did the Montreal section keep the diner but no Park car?
Then there was The Big Bus The 70's were so great!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOO MANY MIXED FEELINGS, ALOT OF BAD MEMORIES, BAD BLOOD, AND EMOTIONAL TRAUMA ARE AMONG THE THINGS THAT COME TO MIND, NOT TO MENTION THE TRASHY MORAL AND CULTURAL ASPECTS OF THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY: LONG LIVE SUPERTRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
29:42 What the hell did he think they were doing?!
Did these have horns
i wish 1201 be steamed again once again.
Gotta give major props to Al Broadfoot for going above and beyond by manually operating the 3716’s lubricator linkage to Williams Lake. That had to take nerves of steel.
Awesome video! I was fortunate to ride behind 1201 on an Ottawa - Hawkesbury excursion in October 1990. I believe that was 1201's the last public excursion.
I only watched this because it’s so bad it has to be seen to appreciate how shitty it is.
I find this interesting, aside from being depressing. I was a student in Newark, NJ at the turn of the century. Newark's "subway", which now uses lightrail, was trolley cars underground. After seeing this, I realized they were the remaining PCC's
In addition, poetry was lost. In New Orleans, the streetcar named Desire is now a bus named Desire.
Today, that one with nice legs could be a man😄
Best sounding whistle at 31:38

I hate avocados is one of the most unintentionally funny lines I've ever heard
"SuperTrain" was one of the floppiest flops of 70s tv. Probably intended as a Love Boat on rails, it went off track at every turn. The sets looked more like a low budget space ship than a luxury train. The swimming pool and the discotheque were particularly cheap looking. Throw in a forgettable cast, uninteresting storylines and bad dialogue and you're guaranteed to lose viewers. SuperTrain sucked so bad the network pulled it after only a few episodes, then tried to re-air it as "The NEW SuperTrain!!!!" Nobody was fooled. SuperTrain joined disco on the trash pilr of dead 70s fads and good riddance.
The model train and outdoor miniature shots are really cool. Everything else, not so much.
1:24:06 REDLINE THIS THING! 🚨
This is very heartbreaking that via passenger service has been reduced 😥😢
Another person that knows how to properly upload VHS video to KZread, thank you! 🙏
I was 13 years old in 1979. I loved disco!!!
Phenomenal footage! I grew up with these trains and have many pictures, but hardly any videos- thanks so much for sharing!
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Remember the "Singing Break Men" 🎸🎶 Jimmie Rogers. Whom was a genuine break men till changing careers to a singing entertainer career. ( 1926 thru 1933 ) Most memorable song " Break Man's Blues 😭 ". Had the good fortune to ride 2 different steam locomotives 🚂 pulling scenic route train rides . Smoky mountains national park. Durango & Silverton Colorado. Very relaxing viewing the wonderfully scenic beauty. 😉. Viewing this presentation from the comfort zone of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast " 🚀of Florida 🐊🐊. Wishing viewers R.R. Employees/photography crew. A safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 ) 🌈🎉😉.
1:31:53 Big Ed looks and sounds like a cartoon character
The opening credits are longer than the movie itself
Where are Troy McClure and Lyle Lanley?
I watched this whole damn movie and I did NOT once hear the Chain Reaction theme....
I particularly enjoyed the video with the sound of steel wheels on steel rails , music to my ears .
As someone who was born and grew up in the south Parkdale area of Toronto from 1951 I hardly ever had cause to ride a bus and those I did were almost all Trolley Busses . I did learn one thing from this film , the Cars I remember running on Bloor St. as a kid ( before the subway line ) came from Cleveland . I remember them running as MU's (multiple-units) and later on Queen St. I miss those wonderful old PCC' s . The streetcars we have now run a a snails pace in comparison
I saw this when it first came on. This is one of the shows that shot itself in the foot from the start because they showed the pilot first. Seemed like the setup took forever before the train left the station. I think it lost most of the audience with that episode. I thought the second episode with Dick Van Dyke and Larry Linville doing a version of Death on a Train was very good, but that was the only positive thing I could say about it and I think I watched most of the episodes.
NBC reportedly spent $5,000,000 on the sets and models for the show. TV Guide listed Supertrain as #28 on their "50 Worst TV Shows of All Time." The models and sets were impressive looking. Too bad the scripting was so poor.
Lpve the shots
Love to see the Go engines of my youth. Unbelievable footage of the past..the quality of video is spectacular especially for when it was filmed. I hope you have more! Thanks for posting this!
Excellent video that illustrates the foresight originally displayed in the system. Unfortunately, after a period of some two decades where the infrastructures were partially upgraded, the whole system has been cannibalized in order to allow the yet unproven and abysmally conceived REM system that has obliterated any hope for improved commuter and inter-city rail passenger transportation in the Montreal area. 2023/12/16. Ontario, Canada.
Good souvenirs ! Thanks for sharing 😁
Good video but it's not a Valley it's a canyon......Fraser Canyon to be precise
I don't know what Transport Minister Bouchard, and Prime Minister Mulroney were thinking when they slashed service in western Canada, they should left everything alone.
Fantastic Model Train at 24:31. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I am Actually Riding a Light Rail Train while watching this Cheesy Movie. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had the pleasure of riding Pittsburgh's PCCs in the early 1970s from Mt. Lebanon (south hills). I was just a kid (born '62) but I loved them.
So depressing 😞
Beautiful!
This locomotive was featured in the movie treasure train.
This show dares you to watch it!
