Impossible Engineering: Extreme Railroads Season 2

Railroads play an essential role in connecting and developing civilizations around the world. They climb the world's steepest mountains, cross impossible stretches of water, penetrate the world's most desolate deserts, and completely transform urban cities. The new season of IMPOSSIBLE ENGINEERING: EXTREME RAILROADS, premiering Wednesday, May 1st at 9pm ET/PT on Science Channel, will showcase the world's most extraordinary railway systems, from the deepest jungles to the highest peaks and beyond. Throughout the season, IMPOSSIBLE ENGINEERING: EXTREME RAILROADS will go around the world with exclusive access to some of the most ground-breaking railroads on Earth and talk to the engineering experts who have created them. From high-altitude tunneling through the Swiss Alps and navigating the winding mountain ranges of Spain, to navigating the world's busiest shipping lane in the English Channel, and breaking ground on the world's tallest bridge in India, IMPOSSIBLE ENGINEERING: EXTREME RAILROADS demonstrates how the global railway system has helped to create a more innovative, better-connected world.
