The first episode sees Billy travel from Chicago to Seattle on the mighty Empire Builder. Travelling from East to West, across six states, Billy stops off to witness a true slice of Americana at the Minnesota State Fair, where giant butter sculptures, corn beauty pageants and live animal births are just some of the bamboozling entertainment on offer.
Billy’s adventure takes him into the jewel in the crown of America’s rail network. Hurtling past jaw dropping vistas of land and sea – this is the West Coast and Pacific Ocean in all its cinematic glory.
The final part sees Billy travel from San Antonio Texas and up the soulful Crescent Route to New York. Kicking off in a spectacular fashion – a Friday night in Texas, which can mean only one thing: football. Billy chews hot dogs with the best of them at the ten thousand seat stadium where soccer moms, ambition and marching bands collide.
