THAT! TRAIN! follows best friends Tess (Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee), train stewardesses who trade their dreary shifts on the Stank Rail for the glitzy Glamazonian Express. When a catastrophic 'Stormganza' threatens to derail the high-speed train, the duo join forces with the snobby first class attendants and President Gagwell (RuPaul) to save the day in this wild ride of camp and comedy."
