Mighty Trains
Mighty Trains (also known as Megatrains on Discovery Channel Australia[1]) is a documentary television program, part of the "Mighty" franchise, alongside Mighty Planes, Mighty Cruise Ships and Mighty Ships.[2] The series was produced in Canada and aired on Discovery Channel Canada.[3] Smithsonian Channel had an executive production role in Season 1.[4] Each episode of the series follows a particular train.
At one point, a railway car technician lovingly describes the elaborate onboard toilet system he maintains, saying that its 130 or so toilets are like his “little children.” I aspire to this level of devotion.
— Margaret Lyons, New York Times, [2]
