The Potash Express

Host Mike Davidson is crisscrossing the rails across Eastern Europe on a 24/7 cargo operation powered by Soviet era locos. The mission: to transport potash—a potassium rich fertilizer—to massive ships, which in turn will deliver the cargo to over one hundred countries worldwide. This is a multimillion-dollar business, and the pressure is intense to keep the trains moving…even when there are problems. Thankfully, there are resilient crews that keep this rail network and locomotives running, no matter how big the challenges are.
