    Now that grade crossing is INSANE. I love the way you shot that: catching the old crossing lights with the train and newer crossing lights in the background; panning the loco as it glides by; then showing that old signal get knocked down. You really composed that well.
    I could watch those old red crossing lights fading in and out endlessly; they are so superior to the crappy new LEDs that it's not even close (same for the old crossing bells too).
    JT will circle the globe to bring us awesome LIVE ACTION!!! Thanks man!

    The diamond crossing in the middle of a 4-lane highway is something I have never seen before. Thank you for finding this location, Jaw Tooth, and for taking these night videos for our enjoyment. The other train videos were also a treat. The Triple B Bar Reserve was a place filled with a lot of fantastic wild like. Thank you for adding the Triple B Bar Reserve to this video.

      Glad you enjoyed it Thomas! That is my new favorite wildlife reserve. That place is just teaming with wildlife. It is amazing. I can't wait to return. We went there on two different days. I saw a heron catch a fish and used its beak like a spear. That was interesting

    If you are still in Florida, consider going east on 528 (The B or Beachline Expy). Along 528 heading east, there is a brand new rail line (The Brightline Train) running parallel to to it. Take 528 east to US1 (Cocoa). This is where the new line joins the Florida East Coast Railroad and heads to Miami. Exit and head south on US1. Another cool thing about the Florida East Coast Railroad, is they have GE ES4400 locomotives that run using LNG. Not diesel. It comprises of two GE ES4400 locomotives with a tender filled with LNG between them. Never thought I'd see the day where modern locomotive using fuel tenders.

    • @beeble2003
      @beeble2003 Рік тому

      BNSF experimented with LNG/LPG tenders in the '90s and decided it wasn't worth it. It gives a cleaner exhaust in the sense of less particulates (i.e., soot) which is good if you're running in urban areas, which FEC are and BNSF mostly doesn't. I think JT has filmed the FEC LNG locomotives on a previous trip to Florida.They're dual-fuel, by the way -- they can still run on diesel, too.

You're right, it's way too dark, you can hardly see the trains going over the diamond. That's not your fault. I love hearing the trains going over the diamond.

    As a truck driver that hauls phosphates out of the Mosaic plant on CR 640, I’ve seen two trains use that crossing in the afternoon…backs traffic up in all directions because the intersection of FL 37 and FL 60 is about 100 feet north of the diamond. Wish I would’ve seen you there!!! I would’ve blasted the horn and waved!

  • @backalleyrailroading2835

  • @fldon2306
    @fldon2306 Рік тому

    That CXS line paralleling FL60 is mostly phosphate in those High-Top hoppers like you say… A lot goes to the Port of Tampa for a shipping terminal there… And the rail line that runs along Phosphate Blvd, the other track at your Diamond, is usually local freight… I’ve delivered off Prairie Mine Rd before and seen Locals moving freight there… And been around the Winston Wye Old and New Tampa Highway too… Circle Bar B is fantastic for watching wildlife! (Was a closed after Ian for a while) You got some great shots there too! Saw a heron catch and eat a snake, and a turtle digging a nest to burry eggs in addition to the gators and birds… Thx JT!

    I have spent many hours train watching at the “Y” where you were on Old Tampa Highway. Just south is Winston Yard. Back before security was such an issue my son & I used to visit the yardmaster at the tower. Those were good ol’ days! That was back in the late 80’s & early 90’s. We were up in the tower one day when several “masters” were there. Son was asking questions when this one “master” asked him if he was considering the railroad for a career. Son told him yes & then the speech started. Master said, “anyone in this room or down on the yard will tell you the ‘magic wears off d####d fast’”. He then asked son what position he was interested in & of course son replied ‘engineer’. Master said, “that’s great if you want a gut full of ulcers & never being home”. It was very memorable experience for both of us!! 😊

    You got a great alibi going for ya being out of OHIO...'The Derailment State'. (all of us). The 'gators there near you on the golf courses wear Izod La Coste Polo Shirts with a little embroidered golfer logo over the left breast pocket. Be sure to yell... 'FORE' before trying to retrieve your ball. The flying bugs aren't too bad this time of the year. A small grain buckshot should do the trick. At least at night you can more easily see their red, green and white strobe lights. Big shout out to Señora Jaws. Nice fotos... bien hecho, Señora. Gracias por tu video. RT sends, Puebla, México... And, so the Florida snake was in a hurry to see his girl, tried to cross, lost part of his tail to the locomotive.He then turned around to retrieve it. Got his head cut off. Moral? Don't lose yer head over a piece of tail.

    CSX was completing extensive curfew work during day shift across the Bine Valley, one of the reason you didn’t see many trains moving during daylight hours. The Ridgewood plant that line feeds also don’t get nearly as many cars as New Wales which is about 15 minutes away to the south.

    Great video JT. My dad grew up close to Mulberry in Bartow. Hope you got to take in Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales? It's really beautiful!

    Looks like a great place to get stuck on the tracks. Thanks for the great video and warning.
