Excellent and historic! Great video for those of us trying to document the history of railroading in the Tampa Bay area, thanks!

[@airRail76]

Great series! I love the radio chatter! I heard the Dispatcher telling a train to couple up to a car at TUS ! I love it! Again this is amazing to see how it all has changed!

Great ride. My how the right-of-way, as well as the places along it, has changed over the years. Really enjoyed it!

@boweandrew3, Tampa had a city ordinance of 25mph on that line due primarily to all the residential areas.

Back then the Sulphur Springs rail was not a dead end rail back then. You could get on the Brooksville line and go north still. Now it is dead end's boo! :(

[@mikephfl]

@airRail76. They were talking to this train. They were to pick up a car at TUS as it was going to DC.

[@boweandrew3]

Why was the Amtrak train going so slowly?

[@andrewc1199]

TN Tower has been demolished.

[@mikephfl]

Probably goes to the Tampa Water works...I think.

[@mikephfl]

It was not Porter Tindale. I don't think I ever met any on the crews of that name.

[@Mirageman0373]

I would like to know who the engineneer was . I think it was Porter Tindale. I'm his son.THANK yOU

[@Lanceaferd]

The branch-off at 3:38 was an industrial spur or was that a former line to someplace else? I don't recognize it...

[@spikeous706]

That's the spur by the golf course that goes to the City of Tampa water plant.
