That show was interesting and informative about the internals of a locomotive. As usual, Mike Rowe made it entertaining. Hard to imagine he was a tenor with the Baltimore Opera Company in an earlier life...:tb-cool:
I thought i'd watch part of one of them just to see what it's about... I never watch TV. I think TV is boring. I think it's a waste of time. I just sat here and watched every episode. Couldn't stop myself. WOW!
That's funny, I interviewed for job there several years ago but ended up turning it down because they only had a graveyard position open. They aren't shy with the steel plate on those things are they?
Personally, I'd like to see him work on a rail grinder train and/or at a car cleaning facility cleaning out grain hoppers. Both jobs look nice & grimy. What he encountered at MPI wasn't bad, though, and was also very informative for the average person.
