Thunder On The Rails (1990)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

The Old West was an awe-inspiring place where boomtowns sprang up overnight, and the steam-engine train was the lifeblood of the frontier. This video takes you on a journey back to that legendary place in time. You'll relive the adventure on two of the Old West's most famous railroads: The Virginia & Truckee and Nevada Northern. This thrilling program puts you inside the cab of the giant Baldwin locomotives listening to the engineer. Shovel coal, ride the cowcatcher and drive rods. See how the American West was really traveled.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
