1) How often do TV stations broadcast any quality programs about rail subjects? That in itself is notable.

2) America's first subway was built in Boston. The political, financial, engineering and workforce challenges makes for an engrossing story.

3) It appears that the program covers Frank Sprague who was instrumental in getting electric traction developed in the US.

Speaking for myself...

4) Since I'm an American History enthusiast I've watched just about every one of the American Experience shows. They are my favorite TV shows;

5) As someone worked on planning a subway line, this kind of program naturally appeals to me;

6) I've visited Boston several times and rode its mass transit system, including what would have been the original Boston subway. Of course its history will be of interest to me.
