Music City Star Cab Ride - Entire Route, Lebanon to Nashville

Ride the Music City Star and see what the engineer sees on the entire route.

Note: Many of the public and private crossing on this line are quiet crossings so the engineer will not routinely use the horn or bell at these crossings.

This is the special train operated every year on July 4th, taking people downtown to see Nashville's fireworks. This train is longer than most Star trains (two locomotives and eight cars instead of the normal single locomotive with three or four cars) so at some stations the cab car goes much farther than normal.

It was very hot that day so there was a speed restriction, which means this Star is running a little slower than normal.
