2 Amtrak trains come through Tampa every day P091 and P092, they are the most reliable and easiest to catch as you can track them on the Amtrak web page www.amtrak.com/track-your-train.html. If on time they arrive in Tampa around 1 PM and 5 PM, and in the past few months they almost always have a newer Siemens Charger locomotive in second position. Sundays through Fridays there is generally a burst of activity just around the time P092 leaves town, L778 on Neve Wye, L755 from Drew Park, and Y295 through downtown Tampa, plus Y293 going to the port and sometimes ethanol trains going to the port. All those can be caught at N 39th St between E 7th Ave and E Adamo Blvd, where the A line and S lines cross that street. You can listen to the railroad radio on the Scanner Radio app for your phone, 'CSX Railroad Greater Valrico Area' channel but it takes time to learn their lingo and locations. The wikipedia page for the Tampa Terminal subdivision is a good starting point and there are links on that page to surrounding subdivisions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_Terminal_Subdivision
One question. If I railfan or take shots of trains in uceta road will I get in trouble or they wouldn’t care or something or is that road like property and can not pass
Thanks. I googled after. Lot of industry still in that area
Great rail movie! Nice captures! Big LIKE
great catches
Cool video from the overpass. CSX honoring our first responders I think is still sitting in the yard. I am not sure about that though.
You may have been right as CSX 911 was spotted in FL a day or two later. Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I wasn't able to get out to see it.
Very cool
interesting,like
You'd think they'd give the Amtrak conductor a decent horn wouldn't you 📢 rather than that little peeping whistle
Im in tampa right now, any tips that allow you to get a day as successful as this one?
