Though Scottish comedian Billy Connolly has spent almost half his life living in the United States, he hasn't seen many of the places that fall in between the country's major cities and airports. In the three-part program BILLY CONNOLLY'S TRACKS ACROSS AMERICA, he travels from Chicago to New York on a 6,000 mile, 26-state train journey through the 'backyard of America.' From the Minnesota state fair to a Californian elephant seal rookery, he'll finally see the places he missed while flying from city to city - following in the tracks of the pioneers who built our nation and meeting the small-town residents, cowboys and free spirits who now call it home.
