This is one of my favourite transit-related videos on UA-cam no cap. The despair induced by the barren wasteland that is Middle American urban planning is fully cured by the overwhelming wholesomeness of those kids who showed you around. Seriously, if I had to walk down a highway for five hours through the middle of bumfuck nowhere and at the end I was greeted by a bunch of enthusiastic teens that happy to see me I'd break down in tears and give them all a hug. I'm from New Zealand and I thought the urbanism of our provincial cities was bad but Jesus...
Thank you so much!!! A couple of the teens did ask for hugs and it was kinda nice after such a grueling walk... I've always wanted to go to New Zealand! One of my favorite bands is Split Enz, and I like the Oceania style of running decently frequent regional rail services.
Thank you! Yeah, I kept going back and forth on it...there was enough I DIDN'T like about the station (trains in the dead of night, questionable accessibility, distance from Dyersburg) that I felt I could give it a 6, but that building was REALLY nice...
Nashville native here, you're spot-on about how very NOT walkable our city is. There are good things to do outside of the downtown core, but you definitely need a car. Also it was awesome seeing you on MTA/WeGo/whatever they are calling themselves this week. I used to live in East Nashville and took the #4 bus downtown quite a bit.
Loved the parts where you showed what the traffic sign said, and the group of people you met at the train station. American small towns have great bones and we need the right people to revitalize bus and train service in this country. EDIT: Also, it's amazing to me that the train station is being used as a third place!
Country as a brown egg! Cool teenagers hope they see this. Their hangout is the train depot😕. I'm looking to ride the train from Newbern to Chicago, good video!
I live in Newbern so it was really cool to see you travelng from a bigger city! Newbern/Dyersburg isn't a place to visit there's literally nothing to do down here! I feel so bad you had to walk to Newbern it’s usually a 15 min drive from there. Nobody goes in that mall except to hang out in the parking lot. The AMC is really fun but it's hard to make money bc we're such a small town. Grecian is an amazing place to eat! Also they were honking at you bc we're really friendly in the South lol I even think it's weird sometimes. I’m taking a trip to Iowa next month on the Amtrak here in Newbern. I just wanted to see anybody else's trip with them I went to high school with all those kids in this video 🤣! You got sum pretty cool tour guides I'm glad you enjoyed your trip man!
I use to work for the city & was tasked with maintenance at the Newbern depot. Also, they have an annual festival called Depot Days. Come back anytime.
wow this is an awesome window into real people and experiences of pedestrians in hostile places. and a ridiculously tedious way to get there. put into my favorites folder. it's awesome you met those people; I'm sure they'll remember you always as well. y'all go say hi to Miles if you're ever in the northeast!
The City of New Orleans IS obviously one of Amtrak's great routes. It's biggest problem is it servicing so many stops at night. PreAmtrak it ran as an all coach daytime run. I think there'd be a large ridership for a second daily train during daylight hours.
@@MilesinTransitHonestly it'd be nice, if there was some way to extend the Illini and Saluki trains from Carbondale to at least Memphis. Of course i think the local communities in KY and TN would have to help fund this train, since i doubt Kentucky and Tennesee state govenements would bother to help kick in any funding for an Illini/Saluki extension. I'm not sure how the timetable would work for such a new train. I know on at least one Chicago-St. Louis Lincoln Service train, it does fewer stops for the first southbound train to St. Louis each day(leaving something like near 7am).
@@Afterburner215 They didn't know who I was! I think they just thought it was cool there was a UA-camr with more than 3 subscribers covering their town.
@MilesinTransit I can't think of anything more serendipitous or beautiful that you had that experience after walking for three hours; any other day and you probably would have missed then entirely
@@Afterburner215 It blows my mind. I don't think there are many things I've done in my life that are more incredible than what happened that night in Newbern!
After the 1 hour walk to downtown Dysersburg and the 3 hour walk to Newburn, I was once again thinking you need a patreon so I can support the channel. Then you announce one! Joining right now, after all this time you were the one that made me sign up for patreon.
My dad used to do business trips out to Dyersburg, Tennessee, I didn't know much about it, especially that there was an Amtrak station nearby...ish, until this video! It seems like a nice little, midwestern-America town. You have a lot of dedication to venture out on all of those trains, buses, and long walks to get out there! Also, seeing WeGo's ex-Metra Gallery cars makes my heart sink a bit, because some of those cars (as well as an F59PH that's now with Metrolink in LA) were originally bought by the Michigan Department of Transportation and sent here to initiate a commuter service called MiTrain within the Detroit area. Said service unfortunately did not commence because they were not able to get the required funding, or something along those lines. That said, commuter rail is still apparently high-priority on the regional transit authority's list so... hope they make progressive steps soon! At least we have an above-average quality of Amtrak service (in my opinion) to Chicago but a second operator to serve the Detroit area would be great!
Awesome! As a southern jersey guy and transit fanatic, you’ve given me some phenomenal places to check out! One of my favorite routes - Philly to Pittsburgh on the Pennsylvanian! (With an obligatory stop at Bonner’s Pub first!)
What a great video. I love your positive attitude for that long walk. Seeing those high schoolers greet you was just fantastic. Thanks for doing this trip!
Aw man, just now seeing this, I wish I had known about your channel sooner. My step dad is actually the Fire Chief for Newbern Fire Department and we probably could had let you visit the model train exhibit they have in the station. I haven't actually been to downtown Newbern in a few years so I haven't seen the new city hall / police station but it looks neat from this perspective. I can confirm some of the stories of the town being haunted as my mother and step dad used to live in a old funeral home new that massive church (nothing about glowing red eyes though haha) I've also never really ever wanted to attempt the walk from Dyersburg to Newbern. Some information about Dyersburg now, the AMC theater is no longer operation as of November of last year (unfortunately), we used to have a different Dairy Queen from the 50s or so, but due to a flood in 2010 they had to rebuild it and we got a Orange Julius Dairy Queen. We still have a classic Dairy Queen if you go about 30 minutes north to Tiptonville and they serve stuff like Tacos, Fish Sandwiches, Hamburger Steaks, Shrimp, all served in like dinner baskets and there's not even a drive through, but there is a walkup window!
I’m from D-burg. Went to Chicago through that Amtrak in January,. You either grow up here and can’t wait to get out. Or your passing through. might not look like much, but it’s home
The brief toot of the horn is just a friendly acknowledgement. Welcome to the South! I have family about an hour north of Dyersburg... only place I've ever been pulled over by police... not for breaking laws, but they'd seen me around town for a few days and "just wanted to know who you belong to."
As a New York native who lives in Nashville now, it really is sad how bad our urbanism is. There are some good people here who are working on it but the lack of any transportation is awful.
I used to live along the route you took from Memphis to Dyersburg and saw those Millers buses a lot and never knew what they did, You also walked past where I graduated college lol
I will say that Miller Transportation rocks! They run the Greyhound line between Lexington and Louisville, KY, and that trip is 500 times more pleasant than an actual Greyhound.
Just found your channel! Great content! FYI-Miller is a contractor that operates the Indiana state-subsidized Hoosier Ride Service since our Amtrak service is HORRENDOUS! At least we have the South Shore Line...
I’ve never come across your channel until this video. I watched the whole video and thoroughly enjoyed it. I grew up in Nashville (Hermitage/Old Hickory area) and I used to utilize the bus system occasionally when I was young and couldn’t drive. I understand your frustration with Nashville…it’s like a giant small town. It’s a relatively large city with about 2M people in the metro area, but with absolutely terrible and outdated infrastructure. I’ve never spent any time in West TN except for limited experience in Memphis. West, Middle, and East TN are legally distinct geopolitical regions of the state, and are very different from one another. To me, it was very interesting seeing a view of rural West TN from a pedestrian’s viewpoint. I really love that type of content, and I think it’s awesome how you appreciate and document such little-known places. I also appreciate how you were respectful of the area, as there are a lot of people out there who speak about the rural South in a derogatory manner. Great job, man. I hope you can keep it up. I made sure to subscribe to your channel.
Great video. I'm really glad you met some nice people to show you around and one who bought you snacks. That was a nice train station. Outstanding. Thanks for sharing!
I stumbled across your channel a week ago and I've been hooked ever since. I would love to give y'all Snyder's and banter at some transfer point in a future excursion. Thanks for the awesome content!!
Insane dedication here Miles! Found your channel about a week and a half ago and I have been amazed at all of the lengths you go to bring film these trips. Here is hoping the UA-cam algorithm takes your channel to new heights in 2023. You deserve it!
@@MilesinTransit looking forward to your Arkansas video if you ever get to it. My hometown Station in Walnut Ridge, AR is not quite the least used but has a very cool area around the Station and downtown if you are interested in looking into it let me know! Arkadelphia I believe is the least used Station and that is a cool town as well.
When Metrolink (Los Angeles) unveiled their new ticket machines recently, they also made the Windows error sound whenever you pressed a button. I was so appalled by it that I complained to the customer text line and it was changed a few months later.... I don't know if I was directly responsible or not
Thanks for making this trip! I was out in the area a couple of years ago, and considered taking the train home. Have you made a video about getting from Penn Station to JFK?
You oughter know - bus stations n the Souff ain’t the Louvre… A toot n the horn is a howdy. An acknowledgement of your pedestrianism…. God bless those New Bern kids!
Hey, great to see you here, thanks for stopping by! It was a big bag of pretzels, some beef jerky, and a couple bottles of water - they were MUCH needed, I really appreciate it!
If you make it out to Arizona's least-used station (Benson) before the year's over, hit me up & I'll see if any of our All Aboard AZ (statewide RPA affiliate) folks out there would be available to meet up. It's a flag stop so it doesn't always show up on the Amtrak timetable, but it gets decent ridership being the closest station to Sierra Vista & the army base there, plus a bunch of touristy stuff like Tombstone & Bisbee.
I’m going through all the Least Used video backlog at the moment and I’m just so amused at how unsettled you are around crane flies/mosquito hawks/skeeter-eaters (yes, I know they don’t actually eat mosquitoes, but I grew up knowing them by that cute rhyming name and I’m never dropping it) since this is the second video in this run where they’ve popped up. They’re just silly little (big) dopey bug guys!
How do you think you'll do the least used station in Idaho? They have only one. Maybe test it by using the least used station in DC (DC union station).
I'll just visit Sandpoint! DC is an interesting case because a couple of trains make (or at least used to make) a "ghost stop" at L'Enfant Plaza to cover for VRE, so Union Station TECHNICALLY isn't the least used there even if L'Enfant isn't covered in the data.
As far as the near-term goes, I'll be riding the Lake Shore this summer! No Chief planned at the moment, but my goal is to visit each least used station so at some point I'll definitely end up on it.
Nope! With these least-used station videos I make sure to not use any cars, just to prove that it's possible to get to these places entirely with transit...which was a hard task in this case, admittedly!
@@MilesinTransitI thought Uber(if not Lyft) would be available, even in a smaller place like Dyersburg. I've been able to use Uber in a lot of cities, even smaller ones like Pittsburgh.
They didn't actually know me, but they asked how many subscribers I had and I guess it was enough to be deemed famous! So in that sense, I suppose you are!
Love how you had 15 teenagers giving you a three-hour tour and how they insisted you were famous!

This has got to be one of, if not my favorite Miles in Transit video, the energy of those teens giving you that tour was so cool
Thank you so much!
This is easily the most interesting Least Used station to date. Would have given the station a 7 for the presence of amenities tho.

Bugs are scary!
Really hope you can do this for Indiana someday!
It's Connersville! I want to coordinate it with a day the Whitewater Valley Railroad is running...
How do you think you'll do the least used station in Idaho? They have only one. Maybe test it by using the least used station in DC (DC union station).
I'll just visit Sandpoint! DC is an interesting case because a couple of trains make (or at least used to make) a "ghost stop" at L'Enfant Plaza to cover for VRE, so Union Station TECHNICALLY isn't the least used there even if L'Enfant isn't covered in the data.
Great video and the tour with the locals. Any plans to ride the Southwest Chief or Lake Shore Limited?
As far as the near-term goes, I'll be riding the Lake Shore this summer! No Chief planned at the moment, but my goal is to visit each least used station so at some point I'll definitely end up on it.
That's an INSANE amount of walking. no Uber?
Nope! With these least-used station videos I make sure to not use any cars, just to prove that it's possible to get to these places entirely with transit...which was a hard task in this case, admittedly!
@@MilesinTransitI thought Uber(if not Lyft) would be available, even in a smaller place like Dyersburg. I've been able to use Uber in a lot of cities, even smaller ones like Pittsburgh.
Miles getting the fame he deserves!
Great! Thanks.
Fantastic stuff.
Thank you!
Awesome as always!
Thank you!
9:46 that’s funny I remember them doing construction there and it caused a bad wreck
If you ever are back in dyrsburg you have to go to Abe’s steak house it’s so good.
4:06 Jesus christ they just moved metra to tennessee. I literally jumped when i saw that.
Cannot believe they knew you !
Am I famous by proxy now ! ?
They didn't actually know me, but they asked how many subscribers I had and I guess it was enough to be deemed famous! So in that sense, I suppose you are!
@@MilesinTransit that’s super cool !
