NY Subway Car- Premieres Friday, October 5th 9 12a ET

 

The newest member of New York’s subway fleet is the R-160 but where does it all begin? At first it’s just sheets of metal in Sao Paulo, Brazil where human skill, fire, and steel come together to build the body shell. After a month-long voyage, the body arrives in Hornell, NY for final assembly, motor installation, and testing. This 85,000 lb. car is built to last 40 years, to withstand the force of 1.6 billion riders per year, and survive in one of the world's toughest environments - New York City.

Good... I can record this from the dish and watch it when I have time.

[Quill Depot 1,570]

I feel this may be just like the other shows.

Yeah, I actually recorded a show last week or something and called myself watching it and it was so BORING that I just deleted it from my list of recorded shows. Let's hope this isn't a repeat performance. It's times like this that I want to curse the NHL for locking out the players.

These shows aren't really fun to watch! There have been 10 million shows about R160's.

What they're showing tonight has already been on YouTube for months:

Nothing wrong with documentary shows. I like them. 'To each his own' I guess... If the subject matter is interesting, I don't really mind. Modern Marvels is one of my favorite documentary shows and Megastructures/Ultimate Factory.

Good looks Gojimet86, I'm going to record this.

[VWM 404]

yeah, i'll watch this.

The show was basically the same thing. Whatever. I get a thrill of some of the stock footage.

Great find Goji. Thanks for sharing.

 

PS anyone knows when CNBC will replay it? I missed Friday Night (10/5/12)show.

Not to get off topic but to reply to Concourse. If done right documentary can be entertaining. Just look at Ken Burns with the "Civil War" and "History of Baseball" historic documentaries.. Working as a Teaching staff last few years, that what i show the students especially when i am a substitute teacher.

 

Just viewing that 2-minute preview I did not know Brazil had a role in building the R-160's.
