6 Track RR Crossing, Amtrak & CSX Trains, Phosphate Train, Auburndale & Bowling Green, Florida

6 Track Railroad Crossing In Auburndale, Florida! CSX Mixed Freight Train With Depressed Flat Cars & Amtrak Trains Including A Short Amtrak Chase. Phosphate Train In Bowling Green, Florida Going To The Quarry. Includes a rare, narrow cat walk built in the 1930s! with an alligator next to it.
The six track railroad crossing in Auburndale was closed for railroad maintenance but the gates and lights still activate for the trains as you will see. I got 2 different Amtrak trains and a CSX freight train while I was there. I left after filming the second Amtrak train and I accidentally beat it to a crossing so I was able to film it again. Then I drove to Lakeland but I was unable to catch it there on its way to Tampa. I did catch it coming back though and that will be in another video featuring Lakeland.
This video also shows a phosphate train at a gravel road railroad crossing in Bowling Green, Florida. The train was on a branch line that goes to a quarry and the line ends there. I actually filmed that train on a previous visit when I was at my moms home in Wauchula.
We also went to a huge park south of Wauchula and filmed a historic 1930s wooden cat walk that goes through the swamps. It is very narrow with a rail only on one side. We saw alligators there and other wildlife. That was my second time to be at that park. It costs about 6 or 7 bucks to enter that park. I remember going to that park years ago and seeing my first wild alligator.

Great catches. You got a lot of great footage down there. That catwalk trail in the swamp was cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@RyderFilmsGarbageTrucks]

I love when he says “but wait, there’s more!” Great video keep it up.

[@bbtrainproductions4203]

Nice

[@Hyrev1]

Fantastic video JT! Thanks for taking us along on your trip! 🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸

[@earlschmitt884]

Sure glad to see a full length video again. You tube don't send them anymore. I only find them through my subscription. I would like your views on what is going on with all of these N.S. derailment. 3 more since East Palestine. That is a lot in a very short time.

[@charlesbennett8700]

Not to mention the CSX derailment in West Virginia yesterday, train hit a rock slide the size of a bus.

[@chrisobvious]

Amtrak sleeper rooms are my favorite for cross-country. Undisturbed view during the day and nice rocking you to sleep at night. I wish they could get their act together in terms of reliability, is all.

[@skimmer8774]

You gotta catch the Bright Line train. Its privately owned and goes from Miami to West Palm Beach. Very beautiful looking train to.

[@robk1310]

Runs on some of and parallel to the FEC tracks.

[@charlesbennett8700]

Soon to be running all the way to Orlando airport..

[@clineshaunt]

Glad to see you enjoying your time in the sun and warm! I think Distant Signal has videos at Auburndale as well.

[@johnwinter8273]

Cool elevated boardwalk. Can't imagine all the work went into building that. I wonder if the construction workers got hazard pay? 🐊 Cool 6 track crossing. 👍🇺🇲

[@danslejardindecytrus]

Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo ! ✨✨👍🙏

[@billxam2674]

Great, JT is petting alligators in a swamp.

[@DTD110865]

You might know this already but until the end of the 1980's, Amtrak used to run north of the diamond towards the Wildwood Subdivision in Coleman. Today, you have two rail trails and a long abandoned right of way.

[@patriciamartinez3047]

Hi there JT I hope that you had a wonderful time in Florida neat to see an alligator in the swamp tell keep kitty not to claw the furniture ❤❤❤

[@RTWest-kn5fr]

The 'gators in South Carolina, swampy Charleston County, Low-Country, around Navy Housing where I used to live had a low, gutteral, good vibe resonnating from them that'd terminate with what sounded like

[@thomasmackowiak]

That six-track crossing in Auburndale, Florida looks like a wonderful place to watch trains. All the trains that you captured at this crossing and the empty phosphate train in Bowling Green, Florida were interesting to watch. You were lucky to catch the two Amtrak trains in Auburndale, Florida. Thank you for uploading this video for us to enjoy.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watchibg !

[@shenascooking1]

Great video. The baby gator was cute. Glad you had fun in Florida.

[@BobSmith-mj7ik]

I hope your trip to Florida is going well. Love those Amtrak trains.

[@brianhickey5949]

That first freight train had a nice rebuild in the lead position :) A nice phosphate train - it's interesting that phosphate is used in so many commercial applications. I still think you need to be careful around those gators :)

[@LachlanTheRailfanYT]

Nice video JT ❤ Aurbandale is definitely a great spot for railfanning.

[@yardlimit8695]

J.T.,,,,,,,,that norfie is the cutest cat........i love that guy..........i'm glad you take such good care of him.......

[@paulbergen9114]

That first location was an excellent stop especially with the big Crossing as well as yard tracks and spurs. A great phosphate train with the 2 SD40S but boy do those cars get dirty. Can't help but think you misread the map maybe you thought it was Bowling Green KY not FL b Between yesterday's wallboard cars and today's Lumber cars it still shows how much rebuilding is going on after the last hurricane. You and Mrs Tooth be careful on that Narrow Gauge walkway

[@53scrapman]

Welcome to Florida love it.♥️

[@robk1310]

Hey Jawtooth!!! You’re in Danny Harmon country, Danny from Distant Signal, one of my favorite railfanning channels (along with yours).

[@jdmacduff1444]

Good morning JT - This is a terrific video; I like seeing passenger train activity; hopefully it will start picking up nation wide. Thanks JT for making my day!

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching!

[@Trainmaster60]

Cool centerbeam flat cars never seen them type of centerbeam before

[@hernanpatricioorellanaalar3473]

Great report Mr. Jaw Tooth! Glad to see trains, forest and Chessie & Norfie. 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@StarrysLostandFound]

Thank you for another fine video. 👍😀

[@AgentMulder1805]

Cool video Jawtooth! That's the slowest Amtrak I seen. Thanks mate 👍

[@metalinmotion]

That looks like a good place to catch slow moving trains! Good stuff!

[@stevenallen9613]

Got yourself a quick little horn salute from SB Amtrak. Have to admit, that was a sick sounding horn though. Keep 'em coming JT!

[@Phantom-Signal]

Good morning everyone

I liked seeing the phosphate train and Swamp walk was cool 😎, Amtrak Nathan air horns are unique!🛤🚂

[@ranchwork96]

Welcome to central Florida Polk county.your in the Heart of it. The phosphate train goes right through Bartow where I live can't miss it

[@JawTooth]

Oh wow! That is a cool place. I have been through Bartow many times. The Bartow cheerleaders are known nationally. I go through there on my way to the Wauchula and Avon City areas

[@hearmonheardjr8065]

Great videos J.T. look forward to seeing them.

[@kennethfuller8347]

Thanks for the tour through the swamp, JT, and the info about it. That has to be a fascinating hike .. I need to put that on my list. Y'all have fun.

[@erniemathews5085]

Thanks for letting me watch trains in faraway places. San Francisco got no through traffic.

[@TerraExplorations]

That Cat Walk would be fun at night !

[@corduerorose9747]

I'm way behind JT I'll catch up on your videos have a nice day 😁

[@juliangerardcascio1111]

❤ Love your Train 🚆 Videos Jaw Tooth, you and Mrs. TOOTH keep up the great 👍 Work 😊❤ !!!!!!

[@christopherstory2136]

Thanks for the awesome AMTRAK footage! Just a great video all around! Thanks...

[@tpajay]

The first Amtrak train (#97) was the Silver Meteor & that was a typical length of 9 cars for that train & not too long. The Palmetto train service goes between New York City & ends in Savannah, GA. It doesn't go into FL. Train #92 is the Silver Star & goes northbound & not southbound. I've been on those trains about 25-30 roundtrips over the last 15 or so years. I liked it better when the sleepers were in front of the train because it was a smoother ride but Amtrak changed that several years ago because passengers complained about the horn during night crossings. You're probably back in Ohio but if you're still in FL, you should go down to West Palm and take the Brightline between there & Miami. Their business class is a nice service.

[@garymessina1609]

Great Florida video thanks jaw tooth you always know where to go to find great places for trains

[@lesashiminski690]

Hey jaw tooth hope you're having a great time in Florida. Cool trains. Be careful around alligators. Have a great railroad day 🚂🙋‍♀️

[@MrPeerum]

Cool place to shoot video of trains in Florida

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

I think the other railroads are all stepping up on track work in lite of the Ohio derailment. I don't think they'd wanna be in NS shoes.

[@robk1310]

CSX has been improving in Florida for years. This is nothing new.

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

@@robk1310 Well it's new to me cause I'm in the UK

[@jasonhadfield1551]

Brian that was an amazing video have a wonderful time down there in FLORIDA I hope u get to see alan from millenniumforce and louie from quacky louie adventures 😊

Great video JT ...the boxcar @5:26 besides being a new car it is the first time I have seen a yellow box car with yellow doors ..all the ones I see have black doors like the car in front of it.Im from Australia so dont see as many as you guys in US see.

[@robertbate5790]

Three Amtrak's in one video! Is that a record 🤣? Would I do the catwalk? I'd probably think twice . . . 👍👍👍👍👍

[@NUKE-W.E.F.]

Been down there before at highlands Hammock, interesting place JT!

[@whiz31]

Yeah, in spite of what some people say, that's not dead track. You saw all the cars parked there. I used to live right by there that's what some people call the Auburndale sub. It has two main lines and four sidetracks. Those are maintained since they are service entrances into various business entities.

[@haroldbevins393]

That last AmTrac was the same one you watched just before you moved. The engines had 10 and 113 on them. The must have stopped and somehow you got in front of them again

[@Boilermaker-Rick]

Great catches jaw tooth😊

[@stephenrickjr.7519]

I enjoyed the video. I hope you're not thinking about taking an alligator home as a pet. 😊😎👌👍!

[@JawTooth]

Not at all. lol

Great video JT. I'm new to railfanning and wondering what kind of camera equipment you use to get such clear videos with so little shake.

[@williamchristy8123]

Good Morning Jaw Tooth.

[@cp368productions2]

I was looking forward to railfanning in Florida this year, unfortunately my mom had an accident and has been in hospitals and nursing homes for a month, so the trip got cancelled.

[@train1962]

Like the video.

Thanks!

No graffiti on that csx grey hopper train in the beginning. Never seen that before

[@curtismccorkel6985]

Amen

[@bethweber9398]

Would love to take a train trip. I would have to leave from Chicago & that's a 6 hour drive. I lived in Florida for 18 years & every winter I so wish that's where I was.😢

[@JawTooth]

Sounds great! I rode Amtrak from Cincinnati to Orlando. Took me two days but it was worth it

[@bicfetish]

Hey, JT. Was wondering why Amtrak double engines always both face forward, as opposed to the 'back-to-back' configuration freight double engines use. Also, in the past the baggage cars were always placed between the engines & coaches. Lately they're always at the end, like cabooses! Any idea why?

[@shaunclayton8923]

Good evening

[@danmathers141]

Amtrak is putting the baggage car as last car.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching !

[@whoviating]

Guy, I love the videos, I really do - but would you pul-EEZE get some kind of wind sock for your mic?

[@shenascooking1]

When you went to Florida, what part of GA did you come into? If you came through Hart County GA that's where I live.
