Amtrak Slams The Diamonds, CSX Booking Thru Plant City With Mid Train Loco On Curve, Train W/Caboose

Mile Long Train At Speed With DPU On Curve, Amtrak Hits The Railroad Diamonds, CSX Train With Caboose & Mixed Freight At Railroad Crossing No Train Horn Zone. These trains are in Plant City, Florida and Lakeland, Florida. The caboose was on a local switching train entering Winston Yard.
First we see Amtrak blaring the horns across several railroad crossings in Plant City, Florida. Then a big CSX train with DPU comes around a curve and passes old line side signals on the way to Tampa on the S Line. Have you ever seen a train booking this fast through here? I had to run to the crossing because I wasn't sure which line the train was on. The A Line and the S Line are about a block or so apart. I just barely got there in time. Check out the old signals still in use.
Then we get an aerial view of Amtrak pounding the diamonds in Plant City at dusk. That was cool!
Next day we go to Lakeland, Florida to watch a CSX freight leaving Winston Yard on a tight, squeaky curve. Right after that a CSX local passes by with a caboose on the rear and two employees on the platform. That reminded me of the early 80s. After the caboose passed us the train reversed around the west wye and entered Winston Yard.
Next we see a fast mixed freight hitting the railroad crossing in downtown Lakeland. This is a no train horn zone. The train was running westbound. I was really lucky to get that train. I had already left Lakeland and was heading to the motel in Mulberry. I heard the train on my scanner and didn't think I could beat it to the crossing but I gave it a try. Somehow, I got lucky with all the red lights and was able to get there in plenty of time. Best gamble I ever took! That made up for the train that I just barely missed in Auburndale, Florida. I got there just after the locomotives crossed the diamond and had to wait a long time for the next train.
This is more of my video from my trip to Florida. Actually, we still have some video on Mrs Tooth's camera. The problem is that I am not sure what I have posted and what I haven't from her camera. Once I figure that out I will have one last Florida video.
