Music City Star WeGo - Mt Juliet to Nashville Riverfront head end railfan window RFW

[@jiovaniloncarevic]

16:24 Two F40s and three railcars on single track. We're really in the country.

[@pgo1972]

Thanks for sharing! I hope to ride this one day. 😊

[@garysprandel1817]

Just checking out the Music City Star roster. Nice to see the old Metra CNW/Rock Island Pullman Standard and former CBQ/Milw Budd cars still hauling passengers

[@Jack-zd7rv]

I hope you enjoyed your visit to mt Juliet Richard

[@nothanks1627]

Cool trip, thanks.

[@ThatOneRailfanYT]

Holy crap! What a gate runner! 7:29

[@jballday3668]

Of course there’s one

[@vincentconsolo5782]

Gotta love the ole Mars lights !

[@jimpern]

That Mars light would drive me batty after a while, but it's there for safety. At least Nashville has this one commuter line; Atlanta has none!

[@AllanLoveJr]

Fantastic video...

[@kennyt1674]

Wow that's so cool!

[@Thepirireis]

Texas is The Lone Star state

[@deevog]

I was late but finally I catch this train...

[@deepVAroots]

Why is the horn activated at only some of the street crossings and not all?? Regardless if they have crossing gates or not.

[@petesopenrailsvideos]

Are Mars lights still getting much use in the States? From this perspective it doesn't appear to be as effective as a fixed headlight and I can't help but wonder how distracting they would be to motorists when tracks and roads are running parallel? Really interesting video, thank you!

[@Newberntrains]

We have a yard in MJ might have to ride this for the fun

[@3985uprr]

16:49. I heard that. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so thank you very much. Most people enjoy my commentary because it adds dimension to the video and inform the view of what’s going on and where you are other than some of these mindless videos you see. Since you like my commentary so much I’m going to keep doing it as long as I like. Your mocking comments were uncalled for and I reported you.

[@jballday3668]

7:29 well there’s always going to be that one person who thinks ignoring rail signals

[@jessefrancis6686]

Tennessee is the volunteer state and Texas is the lone star state

[@rogerscalf231]

Who cares?

[@cats0182]

Why the searchlight headlight during the day? I thought that was for night use.

[@TrainTrackTrav]

As part of the cab car's "light package", that light is on if the headlights are on. Even during the day.

[@garyplastek8101]

the train was really moving

[@jimhammer2012]

If it's a dead end track how do they turn the trains?

[@c4mstack1n]

They got cab cars, and locos. So when it hits the end of the line it switches to cab car, but if it hits the other end of the line, it switches to loco, and they got sidings so trains can go into them and let other trains pass

[@generalmoonstone]

Why is he going through crossings and not using his bell or horn?

[@tmincey558]

May be quite zones

[@williamhamblen3808]

How many commuters were there? This line loses plenty of money, BTW.

[@genevabarron3115]

Why is he not blowing at all the cross roads I new here just ask I love watching

[@Ironminer97]

I was just thinking the same thing. I thought it was a federal rule they had to

[@hornshowrailfan2541]

The only reason they don’t is some may be quiet zones. What he didn’t do was sound the bell which is what you do in quiet zones. If he did sound the bell, I didn’t hear it.

[@drxnupe]

Not the mississippi river. that was mill creek, which branches off of the Cumberland River. The cumberland empties into the Mississippi river in KY.

[@donaldlumm7538]

Minor correction: The Cumberland River empties into the Ohio River near Smithland, KY, which in turn joins the Ohio River at Cairo, IL.

[@c4mstack1n]

part of the video he said he was making some stuff up 😭

[@smflatt]

Tennessee is the "Volunteer State," not the "Lone Star State." That title belongs to Texas.

[@NSSignalGuy]

How many trains run a day

[@NE-Explorer]

That light can hypnotize an engineer and cause an accident

[@9donald_10douglas]

It's called a Mars light

[@jimsanders4412]

I’m surprised they don’t use the horns at crossings!🤔🤷‍♂️

[@CA-Rails-Aviation]

Those crossings where the horn was not used are in quiet zones. Looked it up on street view, sure enough they somehow managed to get themselves a quiet zone.

[@ControlPointDonelson]

#790 and #719 are ex CBQ Budds not pullmans

[@fusoyaff2]

Thank you, I'm sure there are loads of mistakes on our live commentary too.....

[@ControlPointDonelson]

@@fusoyaff2 oh dang it’s fine, we used to have pullmans so honest mistake,

[@cincycubfan23]

Chicagoland native here - grew up pretty much along the Burlington. Entirely possible I’ve ridden on one or more of these ex-CBQ Budd cars…and that old BN/CB&Q E-Unit is like seeing an old friend. They powered the Burlington’s commuter trains into the early ‘90s.

[@ControlPointDonelson]

@@cincycubfan23 even as a Nashville native it is always fun to see, I hope that it will get a repaint at some point but I doubt that will happen

[@Jon4784]

That rotating light is driving me nuts there's no way I could be a engineer on that train an why ain't they blowing the horn at any of the crossings but blowing it out in the middle of nowhere

[@AirchimeLTDproductions174]

The crew was sounding off the horn for crossings. It's just a timed sequence of Long Long Short Long that is started roughly 15-30 seconds before the train clears the crossing and held as the lead unit clears the crossing. In the rule book it's Rule 14L. The Engineer was blowing as he saw and acknowledged whistle posts for the crossings included.

[@treybrandon4737]

There is no Mississippi river in Nashville

[@terrygraham5901]

My need add some colors do that light 🕯️ disco light 🕯️

[@conniewise15]

Can you tell me why trains have to blow their horn's so much. A simple toot toot would be enough.

[@ThatOneRailfanYT]

FRA rules and regulations. As well as people’s stupidity.

[@pgo1972]

Two longs. One short. One long. Until crossing occupied. - - . -

[@robertkelly2420]

Tennessee is not the long star state and the Mississippi River doesn't run through Nashville. The engineer must be from California

[@firepower782]

Tennessee the Lone Star State?😂😂 Tennessee Central Railway had passenger service on those rails until 1955, Nashville to Harriman, TN, where you could access the Southern Railroad. If they did indeed close the Donelson station in 1930 it wasn't because passenger service had stopped. It was booming in the 30's.

[@wasatchrangerailway6921]

A single yellow aspect is "Approach"!!! Not "Approach Medium"!!! And there is no such signal as "approach clear"!!! It is either "approach" or "clear"!!! Coming out of the siding with the dwarf indicating green over red is "converging clear"!!! This indicates a trailing move through the turnout!!! There are skads of little details that an engineer must be aware of!!! I was an engineer for 30 years!!! I knew the rules like the back of my hand!!!

[@jetfixer170]

Coming out of the siding with a green over red on the dwarf is a "slow clear". There is no such thing as a "converging clear" aspect. Diverging; yes. And the major difference between the slow clear and diverging clear (besides a flashing aspect) is the speed at which you make that diverging move and that typically depends on the turnout itself. Up in the northeast, the word "diverging" is replaced with either "medium" or "limited" which, again, depends on the speed you make that diverging move. You might wanna check the back of your hand... lol

@@jetfixer170 ON THE FRONT RUNNER COMMUTER RAIL, WHEN WE ARE STOPPED AT A STATION, AND LINED BACK OUT ONTO THE MAINLINE WE GET A RED OVER GREEN --- CONVERGING CLEAR, OR A CONVERGING APPROACH IF YELLOW!!!

@@wasatchrangerailway6921 According to UTA documentation, you only have 6 aspects that can be displayed: 9.1.1 - Clear 9.1.2 - DIVERGING Clear 9.1.3 - Approach 9.1.4 - DIVERGING Approach 9.1.5 - Stop 9.1.6 - Restricting Example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJPZd4dqo9ONeJI - starting at 4:40, the head end view from Lehi station shows the signal progression from Stop (solid red) to Diverging Approach (flashing yellow) to Diverging Clear (flashing green) going from double track back to single track. One lamp lit... Each one of these aspects will display a single illuminated lamp, solid or flashing, on any given mast. If you can show me something different, I will gladly concede to your expertise. Otherwise, stop yelling at people.

And he randomly blows the horn but not when he should

[@michaelsortino1830]

Was good until you started mocking Tim.

[@3985uprr]

I don’t mock people when I do my videos and I seriously doubt that this person is going to catch up to me with my 14,000 subscribers as they seem to enjoy my commentary. He is probably jealous of my success.😀😀
