From luxury to vintage to high-speed and even revolutionary these great trains navigate Canada's terrain, Japan's earthquake zones and every place in between. Jump behind the scenes with the engineers and crews as they travel to distant locales.

Host Robert Rose connects with colorful locals while traveling to off-the-beaten-path locations throughout the world to showcase activities that include adventure sports, underground culture and local traditions.
