(New York) - Since their spectacular rise in the 19th century, railroads have been at the cutting edge of engineering and technology and that remains true, even today. IMPOSSIBLE ENGINEERING: EXTREME RAILROADS, premiering Thursday, May 17 at 10pm ET/PT, shines a light on the world's most extraordinary rail systems, including New York's Arthur Kill Vertical Lift Bridge, Japan's Bullet Train and California's Central Pacific Railroad.
IMPOSSIBLE ENGINEERING: EXTREME RAILROADS highlights the historic and modern breakthroughs of railroad production by telling the stories of bold pioneers and the science behind their incredible engineering feats. High-tech graphic animation will detail each transportation marvel and will look at the engineering challenges that each railway faces.
IMPOSSIBLE ENGINEERING: EXTREME RAILROADS explores:
· Incredible mountain railways that conquer vertiginous heights and offer breathtaking views, including Britain's Snowdon Mountain Railway and California's Central Pacific Railroad.
· The need for speed and impossibly fast bullet trains, including Italy's Red Arrow, New Mexico's Holloman High Speed Test Track, Japan's Shinkansen Bullet Train, and more.
· Astonishing railroads that connect urban jungles such as New York New Jersey Rail Car Float and Germany's Wuppertaler Schwebebahn.
· The world's most revolutionary rail bridges that pose some of the most difficult design challenges, including Staten Island's Arthur Kill Bridge and Scotland's Forth Bridge.
· Railways that venture into the wild and cross frozen landscapes, dense jungles, and other challenging terrains such as California's Goat Canyon Trestle and Thailand's Kanchanaburi Death Railway.
· Stunning tracks along waterways, such as Poland's Elblag Canal and Indian's Pamban Bridge.
