Teddy Wilson, host and narrator describes Japan's trains as, "Japan Rail has devised an ingenious system of sensors and centralized operations -- a system so successful that during the devastating earthquake in 2011 every bullet train in the Shinkansen system was stopped in its tracks before the earthquake struck, keeping passengers on the bullet trains safe." 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.

Small Town Big Deal

To put a spin on a popular saying about Las Vegas, what happens in a small town stays in a small town. That's because small cities and towns across America often get lost in the mainstream media that focuses on major metropolitan areas like New York and Los Angeles. "Small Town Big Deal" tries to change that by telling the stories of innovation, tradition and success that are happening in rural places. Episodes cover small-town residents having an impact on others through their actions and notable businesses, including the Frankenmuth, Mich., retail store that is considered the world's largest Christmas store.
