The series was created by Ivan Goff and Ben [Roberts (writer)|Ben Roberts] who had both previously been involved in the creation of Charlie's Angels and Mannix.

Plot

The series is in anthology format, similar to other dramatic television series on American networks of the time such as The [Love Boat], Fantasy Island, and to a lesser extent; NBC's Supertrain which premiered roughly two months earlier. Each episode consists of two tales featuring guest actors. The featured characters would receive an invitation from "The Head of The Line" to travel to some time and place in the past where a crucial point in their lives had occurred. They would arrive at Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal and go to the "Special Services" desk, where the ticket clerk would direct them to "Gate Y, Track 13".
On board the train and conductor R. J. Walker, they would be welcomed by hosts Jason and Margaret Winters who would warn them of the risks of travelling to the past. On arrival, they would relive the period, potentially changing events, and then return by train to the present, where the implications of the changes would be revealed.
