Is anyone watching this on the History channel? Very interesting and entertaining. My daughter and I love it. Check it out if you haven't.

    Hadn't even heard of it - been skipping past History Channel lately since it's always Pawn Stars and Pickers.

    This looks good though - hopefully I can find it On Demand and catch up on the series.

    My prior knowledge of these men is just from the short blurbs from history class back in school so it's really interesting to see more to their stories and even how they had business dealings with each other.

    What? Sounds like an anachronism to me. The GGB was built in the early thirties. One of many Herbert Hoover's RFC projects, wasn't it? Back then, instead of bailing out banksters, theybuilt big projects. Hoover was a civil engineer, so he was big on that stuff. We have one of his dams right down the road from here. I think you are confusing the GG with the railroad.
