I had never heard of this shortline until "The Last Run of the Amador Central" aired on RFD channel.

The RFD channel? Never heard of that -- of course I am tv-challenged.

Of all the shortlines I've been over, I believe the AC had the sharpest curves. Some of them reminded me of industrial trackage in a city! Nice photo Drew.

"Rural America's Most Important Television Network" is how they bill themselves. Programming includes such shows as "Classic Tractor Fever," "Making it Grow," "Training Mules and Donkeys," "The Big Joe Polka Show," and "Trains and Locomotives," which plays various Machines of Iron videos. That's presumably where the AMC show aired. Looks like RFD also has a show called "I Love Toy Trains."
