Americas Longest Passenger Train, Street Running! Amtrak Auto Train In Ashland Virginia On CSX Main

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.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for watching !

[@TheOneAndOnlySpookySteve]

I can’t believe I found this video. This is my hometown. I’ve lived here all my life. A great place to live.

[@JawTooth]

Very cool! I have more videos from Ashland and I have a street running playlist you might like

[@blueoctgal]

Love the rail fans sitting on the sidewalk❤️❤️❤️

[@miriambucholtz9315]

I swear I can feel the vibrations when those trains go by.

My father has taken that train,he takes it every year to Florida and back in the winters

[@connormclernon26]

It’s also one of Amtrak’s few profitable routes

[@randyrobey5643]

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.

[@williamralph5442]

Ashland is a rail fans Dream. There’s a great web cam located on top of the station. Thanks JT

[@marycunningham53]

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!

[@jeanjean9343]

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.

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! 😁 Tony 59-year-old Black Air Force VET 🇺🇸

[@gravelydon7072]

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.

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!

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.

[@StCroix-up4km]

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.
