Did you watch any of the Railroad Alaska footage today on the Travel Channel?

I had it on for about an hour earlier this afternoon. No words, no sounds other than train whistles, as the train was working its way North in Alaska. Pretty cool – you saw sidings, small towns, bridges, trestles, and a ton of trees. And lets not forget the snow.

I found it to be restful and enjoyable. The worst part was the commercial breaks – you’re calm and enjoying the silence, and then they break in and advertise indigestion pills.
