Here are some of the shows, specials and movies coming to TV this week, Jan. 25-Jan. 31. The second season, debuting on Monday night, will reveal more about the train’s mysterious billionaire creator, played by Sean Bean. For a choo-choo experience with less social bite (but more wizz-banging) than “Snowpiercer,” consider “Unstoppable,” an action movie with Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. Directed by Tony Scott, the film casts Washington as a veteran railman who gets paired with a younger conductor (Pine). Scott, she wrote, “creates an unexpectedly rich world of chugging, rushing trains slicing across equally beautiful industrial and natural landscapes.”
