Shining Time Station was a children's series created by Britt Allcroft and Rick Siggelkow that aired from January 29, 1989, to June 11, 1993, on PBS. It used footage from Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends along with segments that take place in the titular station.

It's season one opening was different from later seasons', with the biggest difference being that the original intro showed clips of the cast's characters in oval shapes as opposed to simply showing their names.

Availability

Rebroadcasts of season one episodes would use the newer intro, meaning that footage of the original intro was quite scarce until June 22nd, 2010, when YouTuber EightyMac uploaded the intro, making it found.
