"You're letting your psychotic fascination with railroads lead you to a suicidal gamble with he future of this company" I'm 90% that line was taken directly from the meeting at NBC when this show was pitched.
The funniest thing to me is the fact that they thought the ride would be smooth enough to have a disco. The writers had never been on a train in their lives and it shows.
Around the time this came out, the first automated toilets were introduced to Britain. They were called „Super Loos”. …I don’t think this is mere coincidence! 🚽💩🙃
NbC had it all going on in the late '70s, just think after this was over you could maybe catch Pink Lady and Jeff. No wonder that during this particular time frame, Johnny Carson was seriously thinking about jumping to ABC.

wikiporno2 lmao thats funny as hell, I agree who ever pitched this was high
"So you think it's a gamble, do you?" Just a hunch.
As is typical with 70s era shows like this it was probably created by a sentient pile of cocaine…
@@HiVision1990 That's one description I've heard of Fred Silverman.

My favorite is the indoor pool which will definitely not splash when the train sways.LOL
@@MsTimelady71 Imagine what would happen if the train decelerated rapidly...
it’s a super train
Finally my love of trains and trashy 70s disco combined.
It's as if the upper-class section of Snowpiercer was built in the 1970s.
Best.show.ever. Said no one.
36 hours of disco! No wonder the gym was empty.
A 747, a luxury liner, a skyscraper, a Big Bus, and now.....
SUPER TRAIN
"There were Indians and a Chinaman and everything".
I'd buy the shit out of this show if it came out now!
Shitty as it was, there's no denying this one had a surreal quality to it.
this supertrain seems to be filled with alot of problems...not even greyhound has this much drama
It was meant to be a land-going version of The Love Boat, that's why.
And why does it take 36 hours to cross the country? I'll take a plane for five and a half hours.
It's the Love Boat on a train with bombs
3 minutes is just the right amount of time for this TV show.

36 hours to go from NYC to LA? Why, they may exceed highway speeds at some point!
41hrs by roads. :)
Isn't that the Monopoly Guy at the very start?
I wonder if NBC said anything along the lines of :13 to the producer of this show.
As long as there's Indians and China-men, I'd take a ride.
Love this super train trailer!!
this looks kind-of awesome.
If they would of written this as a comedy like the movie Airplane, it would have been an instant hit!
Lol. This is almost so bad it’s good
Everything is Groovy!
Snowpiercer prequel?
Exactly!

The Dick Van Dyke episode was wild. Wish inwas joking lol.
How did I survive the 70s?
Just what a thought, to stop a train nullifies the laws of gravity

I just KNOW that whoever greenlit this was gearing up for a sweeping, incredibly illegal short.
Big fan of disco but I think I'll take a flight.
If they had made a Train! version of Airplane!/Airplane II, they could drop the clip from 2:16 right into the runtime and no one would know.
Indian and China men lol they don't write them like that anymore
Best show ever
I don't know why, I love it!!!!!!!
'There were Indians, Chinamen and everything!' Nothing racist about Supertrain!
You'd think the passengers would've showed some kind of concern when that bomb went off.
2:23
he loves reenacting 2001 space odyssey
*cue Marine Express theme song*
1:23 Anybody know the name of the Song?
Starting Now, love theme from Supertrain. It's on the original soundtrack album, 9 minutes in, here: ruclips.net/video/WYsGmPXN-xo/видео.html
American Cheese
Dang, what's that instrumental track at 1:16-1:21? I know I've heard it before.
Its s knock off of "I feel love", by Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder.
Or it's a knock-off of Berlin's Sex (I'm A Man)
speeta
its actually "Sex (I'm a.....)
That really had been driving me nuts, thanks so much!
But it had Harrison Page! Why do all the good series die young...
This show was shit.
Anyone know the song, 1:21 - 1:32
Monster 0 it’s from Supertrain soundtrack called “Starting now” (love theme) from composer Bob Cobert
This is Obama's America!!! J/K...
