- At times, this is the Worlds Longest Passenger Train! I caught it street running in Ashland, Virginia on the CSX main line. Amtrak Auto Train has double decker passenger cars and double decker auto racks. It runs from Lorton, Virginia to Sanford, Florida a total of 855 miles. These are the only 2 train stations in America that you can put your vehicle on the train and ride the train. I filmed it street running with CSX freight trains and a few more Amtrak trains, including one that arrived and departed in the rain. Other railfans including Millenniumforce were here also. I like this town with the tracks right in the middle of the road. You can actually drive right next to a train. Filmed September 25, 2018CE. Thanks for watching!

It would be awesome to live in such a place, where so many trains could be seen each day. That was fabulous.
Thanks for watching !
I can’t believe I found this video. This is my hometown. I’ve lived here all my life. A great place to live.
Very cool! I have more videos from Ashland and I have a street running playlist you might like
I swear I can feel the vibrations when those trains go by.
Love the rail fans sitting on the sidewalk❤️❤️❤️
My father has taken that train,he takes it every year to Florida and back in the winters
I live in Northeastern Indiana, but I grew up in Richmond, VA which is near Ashland. My aunt had a farm near Ashland. My mother and I used to take trains to and from Ashland to visit my aunt in the summertime. The tracks in Ashland are the old Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac lines of Civil War fame. They are the main North/South rail lines on the East Coast. We used to board trains from the station that was right by the tracks in the middle of town. I don't know if the station is still there. One of my many early memories of these tracks was a time when I saw some diesels pulling a line of rusting steam engines to meet their fate. This video brings back many railroad memories. Thank you for that.
It’s also one of Amtrak’s few profitable routes
There’s Kenny! I talked to him last time we were there. Live Action Son!!
And there’s Millenniumforce too!
Woooooooooo!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I like watching trains at night.
Ashland is a rail fans Dream. There’s a great web cam located on top of the station. Thanks JT
Virtual railfan Ashland!
Great video, love the Passenger Cars. My wife and I have taken the Amtrak from Connellsville Pennsylvania to Harper's Ferry West Virginia a few times. At that time, due to track conditions, there were slow areas in travelling (track maintenance going on), but it would speed up nicely much of the time. But we were going to stay at the HillTop Hotel in Harper's Ferry (the Hotel is now gone), so even the slower moments were just more time on the train, what's to complain? The food was great, in the dining car, we were seated with strangers, after all, it's not a restaurant. But again, the food was worth it. The observation car was full length, and at night, when there wasn't much to see, in the observation car, they'd play movies, and they seemed like recently released ones, or ones still in the theater. Fun stuff. Still figuring to go to Reno Nevada one day on the Amtrak, we have relatives there. Thanks again, great show.
Thanks for watching !
I realized I may have a UA-cam train problem when I recognized Millennium Force in the intro.
lolol same!
Millennium is great. I wish I was younger and healthy and could travel like they do.
I tell everyone now, do everything while you are young, while you can.
Don't put anything off
You never know when you are going to get sick and be bed ridden
I can't do anything now
All I have is UA-cam
Me too. LOL
Millennium Force is definitely a Force to be Reckoned with! 😬 👍
Great catch! After all these years I finally got a couple vids of this train! Of course, I'll never see it running down the middle of the street haha 🤣🤣
Wife's account and not her opinions Awesome to see this we moved to Florida but we were from Rappahannock County VA west of Fredericksburg and spent many days in Ashland just to see the street running your video brought back many happy memories love your content I grew up in Chicago and remember Milwaukee Road and Chicago Northwestern IC North Shore South Shore and many now merged or defunked railways thank you for your hard work really appreciate it oh almost forgot the SP Daylight when it was the Freedom Train in 1976 was unforgetable
Longest passenger train in the UK is the overnight sleeper train from London Euston to Inverness/Fort William/Aberdeen. It leaves Euston with 16 coaches and splits into three portions in Edinburgh.
JT is recognized by fans. Nice!
Another awesome video Jawtooth -you and your buddy millenium force sure get around ! Ash land always looks good for train watching ! That sure is one loooong Amtrack tho !
Regards
Cool video Brian. I believe Virtual Railfan has cameras set up in Adhland VA and you can see how often the freights and Amtrak pass by during the course of the day.
I love the classic crossing bell. Also the classic SD horns.
YESS!! LIVE AMTRAK ACTION!! I love the sounds of the engine! Roooosh! haha! Glad to see the ambulance make it across! Enjoyed the street running AMTRAK! Saved to my locomotives playlist! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching! I like Amtrak also
@@JawTooth Good.. I see! Lots of Amtrak fans out there!
Mary and I rode the Amtrak from Florence SC to Richmond VA. Took a cab to Ashland, because of train scheduling, and stayed at the Inn in behind the train station. Our first and as yet only train travel/fanning trip. Cant say I'm in love with the travel but we did enjoy a lot of it. Ashland was a hoot!
I want thank whomever it was that gave me the link to find out about the train 'I.D.' system. Very good info. Thank you.
The no left turn connected to the crossing stanchion is unique and rare. Glad you got it on film. P42 Genysis. "Genisys, Genisys is planet forbidden NO!" Quote Star Trek, all rights reserved.

At one time the mayor of Ashland, VA proclaimed it to be the Center of the UNIVERSE. Works for me!
Well, this is a first, a single leveled Amtrak train.. with the baggage car at the end instead of behind the locomotive at 4:55.
Anyway, another award-winning railroad video Jawtooth! 😁

Florida trains often have the baggage car on the rear when heading North. And as Hialeah was the maintenance base for them when new, there often were more than one baggage car on a train.
Ashland sure is a hot spot for trains. The auto train must be very successful with a consist like that. Here in the Poconos we have nothing. It used to be a big rail hub, but not anymore.
Thank you for your videos! Great job!! Greetings from Chile!
That’s a cool location to film trains!
It gives a lot of dramatic appeal to see the approaching locos coming right down a ‘Main Street’!
You’re Spot on as Always
What a beautiful place to live. A train lover's dream. Fantastic video !!!!!
My two year old loves trains and this video makes him so happy. Thanks for doing this!
Great video as always but.... watch out for those crazy Ashland drivers !!
Nice video of railroad street running but I wish it was the old school railroad street running where the rails are embedded in the tracks without the roadbed all the way out. But this is still great and love all of the Amtrak passenger trains, really cool.
Awesome!! I just recorded my 1st 2 trains on April 1st 2022!!!
A very long Amtrak Auto and Central Florida Sun Rail.
Well it's a first again for you Jaw Tooth Amtrak auto racks. Can honestly say I have never seen those before..nice video!
Thanks for the dedication to videoing in the rain> Great show - Thank you
Excellent Great catch and video Thanks for sharing your work!
Very nice train and awesome rainy weather.....🌧️🌧️ ☔☔
That Auto train is just amazing!
Nice video! I have ridden on the Auto Train several times.
Great video JT!!!!!
I love your videos buddy. I used to live in the U.S. I love the country. And, I am fond of trains and rail tracks! Keep uploading more videos.
At first I thought the gal @ 5:38 wanted to see your caboose... live action.. ! Then I saw her husband.. yer such a beast Jaw!
Hello Jaw ,Amtrak in profusion ,it changes ,very very good , my friend .
MORE Amtrak videos please! I like Amtrak too! Just like being a caboose fan... Same with Amtrak. They are so FAST & POWERFUL!
Looks like the "take your car, too!" train that runs between DC and Florida. There's a good video on YT that shows how they load cars onto the train cars.
@Jawtooth Just so you'll know, I've decided to start a RR channel for real and model railroading. Just wanted you to know my new screen name. PS: Ironically, Meigs County is the only county in Tennessee that does not have any railroad tracks.
As a regular on the Ashland webcam, I can fill you in on all the Amtrak trains:
Long Distance:
Auto Train
Palmetto
Silver Star (nicknamed Silver Starvation due to its lack of a dining car)
Silver Meteor
All these trains do not stop in Ashland
Northeast Regional, which do stop in Ashland:
3 Northbound and 1 Southbound in the morning
3 Southbound and 1 Northbound in the evening
The evening northbound I've nicknamed "The Midnight Train" as it arrives in Boston after Midnight, and is usually the last Northeast Regional of the night.
Also, the 'regulars' of the Ashland webcam have a daily 'wager' on the consist of Amtrak #53, the Southbound Auto Train. Winner gets a virtual cookie. The longest the train can be is 3/17/33, 3 locomotives, 17 superliners, 33 auto racks. Links to webcam:

Dankejewel.
You guys are the greatest at catching these trains! Keep up the great work!
thanks!
Excellent Jawtooth! However, near the end...your youthful assistant announcing “There’s more” ....just goes to show that you also need a tripod too...so you can make announcements without the ‘floating, detached head’ effect that the ‘selfie’ produces! We’d get a complete view of Jawtooth then. I wish I could join you on your trips...they’re great....but my travelling days are over. Keep up your excellent work...much appreciated!

Your Amtrak Station video reminds of years gone by at night the Amtrak Station in San Diego, CA

Jaw tooth you got it going on good show
Good pictures and videos of railroad street running at Ashland Virginia
It's pretty neat how you really see the sand nozzles in the night views of the Amtrak engine.
Great Video!!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Like your videos. We know, that when you record your videos, that they're live when you video them. But, unless you're broadcasting live, everything WE see, has been pre recorded.
We know that. We do treat every video we see of yours, as news worthy, to some. We thank you.
Excellent video as always
Thanks again!
Took one of those trains from DC to Richmond (and back) last year. Pretty town. Nice college campus. Funny to see them from the passenger seat of a train, though. Guess if you live there you get used to it. Thanks.
Wau this train is so long interesting videoo
I wish you a happy weekend and send warm
greetings to you Elfi
Cool video 👍

This was a great video jaw tooth and I am very early
I'm a train and I approve this video!
Another Jawtooth video with rain and trains.
My town in Clearfield, PA has tracks running downtown, right in the middle of the road.
Yes, on Williams Street just like in Ashland. I really want to film some trains there, hopefully in the summer. I think that is RJ Corman Railroad. Is that right?
I love that.
I live there I'll help you film what day suits you mate
Jaw Tooth you should go to kings island on May 2nd me and the lukancic band play there you should go to see that and to chill meet me all of that I depart my school at around 6am on May 1st I go back to my school on the 3rd of May so the 2nd we have fun at kings island besides playing there on this trip please go for the oh wait there’s more I can do it you can meet me during that you should make a video when you see me there thanks

In Larange Kentucky the tracks run down the middle,a short hop from Louisville ✌
Funnily enough I’ve been looking in on the Ashland live cams recently on Virtual Railfan’s UA-cam channel. What a great railfanning place and Jaw Tooth - this is a great video - very well done. The filming of the night time freight in the crossing street lights - looks great. Really enjoyed it.
did anyone notice the crossing lights not working upon the intro?
I was about to say the same thing,i wonder what that"s all about?
thats the cow girl biker. im always seeing her in the video especially on the live stream 24 hr amtrak raillroad stream for ashland. she loves riding in the town.
You got AMTK 203 leading on one train, I got 203 on the Empire Builder earlier this year but not as a leader. Of the 3 Amtrak trains I've got on video only 1 had a Amtrak leader (other 2 had BNSF leaders) and that one was AMTK 156 40th Anv. Phase I unit.
Ashland a favorite stop when visiting relatives in Richmond
Nice Live action 😁
#8 no train but i do enjoy your videos and counting the cars You have great videos and your commentary
I love this amtrack longest passenger train video a lot
Thanks!
There used to be an Amtrak Auto Train from Louisville, Kentucky to Florida we took back in the early 70s to go to Disney World when it first opened.
At least you've got some decent weather down there; here in Goshen, Indiana, the day started out with temps in the mid 50s, but dropping twenty degrees since then to 36 degrees & rain right now.
A little over a year ago I was in Goshen Indiana and filmed Amtrak. I still need to put that video together. I like that little spur that goes to an area of railroad tie piles
Wow. You should have checked it out pre SCL early 60s. RF&P. Trains every 10 minutes during the winter. Multiple sections of Champion,Florida Special ,Silver Meteror,Star ,freights. It was a train watchers paradise.
You found the gold mine for long trains with this one. I almost fell asleep watching the mixed freight train. Thanks Jaw Tooth. I enjoyed it
best train action in va!
Nice!
I Like The Amtrak Auto Train.
Pretty cool.
You were filming on the CSX RF&P Subdivision. The intersection you were on was South Railroad Avenue and Myrtle. The FRA crossing data is 860454W. Thanks for sharing.
Another interesting video thumbs up as usual I did notice on the auto train that it had no view liners?
The train that stopped at Ashland @12:30 looked like all the cars were empty. How sad. :(
Love those towns where the train goes down the center, Plant city Florida is like that,literally goes down Main street,just sayin'
