@itm426 The footage used for the opening and closing sequences was filmed at the Grand Canyon Railway in Williams, Arizona, and features their locomotive #18. Incidentally, the 18 makes a second appearance as its whistle, a Southern Pacific six-chime, is used for Mr. Nicholas's heard-but-not-seen "Northern Star." This locomotive now resides at the Mount Hood Railroad in Oregon.
This was an actual recording (captured on VCR tape) of a broadcast from WNET-13 in New York (best recollection is somewhere around 1994). From what I remember, they ran it with the commercial plugs for 2 years, then stopped.
