Yes, in many places rail lines share track, that is the case with Amtrak they don't own the tracks but have trackage rights to use the lines. Where trains go cross country like an intermodal train is operated by Union Pacific from Los Angles to New Orleans designated UP ZLAJX-10 (Z=highest priority-LA=Los Angles-JX=Jacksonville-00=date originated) In New Orleans the entire train is handed over to CSX-then takes their train now designated Q180 the rest the way to Jacksonville with CSX crews.
Wow Ponce De Leon, Florida lol but great video, I enjoy your videos, I'm a big fan of crossing signals too, usually if it's safe, and if I can find a good spot, I'll try to railfan at one with a mechanical bell! I'm on the hunt for one of those too
TrainmanKight-- I never knew Union Pacific ran trains down in Florida; are there any other southern states aside from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas that they run trains through as well?
but there is also something know as haulage rights the NS and CSX have given haulage rights to UP, BNSF, and KSC have haulage rights into the ATL on IM and BNSF coal trains from the Powder River basin in Wyoming KSC and UP have haulage rights on the IM that go into ATL the CSXT Q600s are from New Orleans so it is fitting to give them haulage rights on because they might go back out west anyways
that "ding ding ding ding" sound when the railroad crossing is activated never gets old

6:36; first time I ever saw a railroad crossing with that style pole and lights in action. Is there a name for that type of setup?
Thanks,
it's really a CSXT train and crew.
Union Pacific doesn't own any tracks past New Orleans.
great vid but it may need to be renamed, unless you get a chance to come to TN and see some crossings up near nashville
Thanks, If you want to buy one try ebay.
Federal Signal made that Cantilever.

Thanks.
Thanks man.
the first crossing is that a mechanical bell
Does one of the signals in the first segment have a v ad bell? One sounds funny. Li 've the night shot!
I wish u fone Lakeland Florida
What crossing was the night shot taken at?
It just needs a contact adjustment, Thanks.
Why would it need to be renamed? Also I have family that lives in Tennessee, go there all the time, I also already have a few crossing videos up.
Nice! BTW, this is Evan.
Lawrence St
I mean I wish u done Lakeland Florida. Damn auto correct
At 16:01 are those real spaceships?
Same crossing as the previous shot.
