Trivia
The series could actually be easily be split in half and re-packaged as 2 complementary series. One focusing purely on the Railway operations, and the other focusing primarily on the "off-gridders" struggles and successes living in the wilderness.

Goofs
Many of the "calamities" appeared staged. They couldn't just have enough cameras at the exact points when half the failures happen. It does seem like many of the issues are made to look more urgent or are actually emergency drills rather than real issues.

While entertaining at first...

No train blows their whistles in the middle of nowhere and every 2 minutes. To signal moving forward, reverse and crossings are the main whistle signals. I actually can't watch it anymore because of all of the stupid whistles they insert. I guess to reinforce the fact that it's a train or something.... makes no sense
