Trains shows on Directv

Has anyone ever watched channel 379 on Directv? The station is mostly rural programming but features shows on railroads quite frequently. Tonight for example (albeit at 1AM) is a show about Alco's on Chicago's belt railway and I've also watched some shows on steam.

You can get the weekly program at the URL listed below. The "Program Schedule" gives the air times and the "Weekly Content" gives what's playing -- usually. The programs change on Monday and repeat for the rest of the week so if you miss a show, you can usually catch it later.

I am pretty sure that (at least most) of the RR shows on RFD-TV are from the Machines of Iron video series. The Railfair and Pacific Harbor Line ones were at least.
