- This is a video I made in Downtown Tampa Florida of a CSX freight train named the Street Runner because it shares the road with vehicles on the same road. This train was had to encounter many pedestrians and vehicles including emergency vehicles dashing in front of him causing him to blow his horn well over 100 times down a 1 mile stretch of city streets.
Please check out my other famous video's that made me millions of views.

As a former conductor on AMTRAK I can tell you the train crew was totally within their right AND blowing the horn that many times IS REQUIRED BY LAW. If the crew did not do so and someone was hurt or killed it would be the crews fault. In addition I don't care about the community because I can 99.9% tell you the train was there BEFORE the road and buildings. Simple answer is if you don't like the noise MOVE. It is like someone building a home at the end of a runway and complaining the planes are to loud
Which state did you work out of?
DAVID VINCENT i agree wit 100 percent n yea pretty sure those train tracks were there before those buildings
That's actually common. This was the position it was in when it left the rail yard near 50th street. Diesel locomotives can safely run facing in either direction as the engineer has windows on the front and a window behind him on "hood type" locomotives which is what this unit is. The engineer's seat can swivel 180 degrees.
Regardless of what was there first it now would make far more sense and be far easier to move the damn tracks. Why are they still there? It seems so inconvenient for everyone involved.
cjeam it would make sense, but moving tracks is a lot harder than you think.
Some rapper is gonna use that horn as a background beat on a record and become a millionaire.
@Webster Slaughter David Gilmour used the SNCF jingle to make the music track of “Rattle That Lock” song.
Hehe true
The train shouldn't have to stop like that. The car drivers need to think. That train is 220000000times bigger than me and could probably do some serious damage so I'll be smart and stop
Car drivers can't wait, don't think and have too many texts to do. BAD combination. Trucks and other drivers of all kinds get the same thing. Not good. YOU are very wise. Don't be in too much of a hurry to get home. 5 minutes might save your life!
Michale B the train doesn’t have to stop actually. They’re not supposed to wait for cars. In training were taught not to stop the train until after we hit the car. Too much potential cause of more damage from a derailment
This would be much safer if the train went a bit faster, and didn’t stop. Road users would soon get the message and not take advantage.
That train is going through anything in its way like a hot knife through butter cars and trucks are like matchbox toys to it !
Pedestrian or car driver thinks 4 way stop. I think I stopped first so I go first 😅
The engineer had to blow the horn a lot because too many people take the phrase "How stupid can you be" as a challenge.
hahahaha priceless. challenge accepted
Yup. It's not literally supposed to be a reality question. Most people's answer: "How stupid do you want me to be?"
The long zoom on the camera made it look a lot worse than it really is.
At least it's a pleasant horn to hear so many times.
because you do not live near one and hear it ALL the time!

I live 1/2 mile from the tracks...uphill, so the sound travels. I find it so relaxing to fall asleep to the train noise...one of the benefits of summertime is I can have the windows open and hear the steady drum of the train engines as they go through town.
bcubed72 last night at 210am a freight flew by with a horn so loud I woke up gasping. Not very relaxing. Lol
avman2cl
So...why'd you buy/rent a house so close to train tracks, if you can't stand train noise? Please don't try to tell me they built the tracks AFTER you moved in!
Sounds like "lack of due diligence" on your part, to me.
bcubed72 no need to be rude. I live in LI and worked in Manhattan for 10 years buying here was convenient for my carrier. Now I own my own business and home more often. Also they increased non-passenger traffic. There are over 4000 blasts in ear shot in 24hrs. I'm a rail fan BTW.
Imagine you're driving your car down the road, you stop at the traffic lights and some guy pulls up in his red Corvette with the top down, music blasting, sun glasses on, long blonde hair waving in the wind and he wheel spins off and leaves you in his dust.
Next day he's the one sitting at the lights in his red Corvette with the top down, music blasting, sun glasses on, long blonde hair waving in the wind and you cruise by in your freight train... window down, horn blasting, sun glasses on, bald head glistening in the sunshine.
سلام....ok....من موندم قطار چطور داخل شهر اینقدرراحت میره....نه حفاظی نه چیزی...نه مانعی....ازهمه مهمتر!!!نه حادثه ای.....عالیه!!
i absolutely love the fact the train stopped for the light when all those cars were crossing.
That has to be one of the most stressful sections of track to drive through for a Train Operator.
Yeah I bet. Especially if your lead locomotive is long hood forward
Once again, the train is stopped for the light. Must be frustrating as hell to be in the driver's seat of that thing.
I think he stopped for the engine and ambulance and got stuck with the light, not by the light.
shariys1 you don't drive a locomotive there's no steering weel
Yeah, I've heard that said ... the proper way to term it is that one OPERATES a locomotive. Grammar ambush!
Still in training.
😂
Hez a good driver with lots of patience he drove just like a big truck ......I love the whole scenario a train going in midst of road and town....its sooo cool .....loved it...
EARTH ANGEL😇 I LOVED this, especially when the engineer is driving “backwards “ !!!!!👍😍😬🤩🚂
I like the way he's blowing his horn u can add a music beat to it
Amtrak Tom exactly

I've never seen a street running train in person. This is cool. I can't believe the vehicles in the first minute of the video, especially the car on the tracks.
Unbelievable, people so not thinking and drive right in front of it. Noticed engineer is looking back and just using the mirror it looks like.
railpast Unbelievable is how bloody stupid the city was for building a road around the freight rail.
Big shout out to the train conductor
The conductor? Dont you mean the engineer because the conductor does not drive the train, the engineer does so he is blowing the horn on the train.
Engineer
We are required to sound bells and whistles for the crossing and any people, vehicles ,or equipment around the rail.
My favorite Florida train! That was actually one of the longer ones too
I've seen double headers
...and they want tampa to be a quiet zone. Show them this video. Cool catch though!
Ha! Nice one. I say we start a spin-off of the war on drugs called the war on quiet zones!
@@PNWTrains Quiet zones cause more accidents a train horn is important for safety it lets everyone know that they should keep off the tracks and no one wants to be on the wrong side of the tracks
@@Dorox97 Exactly.
With all due respect, yes. I understand you have a scene to work, but THAT IS A THOUSAND TONS OF STEEL AND DIESEL ENGINE COMING DOWN A TRACK. Just move for the guy, he has a job to do.
and the emergency services on the track wasn't bad. They had every right to be there, given that they help save lives, but being stuck at a red light while also being a train (trains don't usually stop unless they need gas or the crew needs food), that usually never stops but for other trains or to onload/offload cargo.
The TH-cam Phantom Official Fire apparatus drivers (they used to call them engineers, lol) should have learned in Driver/Operator class not to park near RR tracks, regardless of it being a grade crossing or this kind middle-of-street set-up. As for the ambulance driver, not sure what they teach them in EVOC training.
Lots of horns for sure
It's going too slow. Speed up and whatever happens happens. Who needs stupid jerks anyway?
long - short- Train is approaching men or equipment on or near the track, regardless of any whistle prohibitions. After this initial warning, two short whistles will be given intermittently until the head end of train has passed the men or equipment.
I counted 136 horn blows
the GOOPER he said ov over a hundred times anyways
+Captain Dead Man I know, I just wanted to know exactly how many times
the GOOPER ok
But does toottoot count as one or two?
+tryithere I counted it as two
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DIN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN LOL milliliemforce I like how all your videos start with music
Stephanie Jimenez I hate you
Eoin Is lit Hey kid, Shut the heck up.
Stephanie Jimenez sounds like a music beat
The Cute family I find it creepy tbh...
I love it 😍 the conductor was actually very respectful here. He could have just laid on it.. but instead he did the bear minimum. I love the way it sounds actually
At least if the engineer gets pissed he can't fallow you and chase you down.
Wanna bet?
Eh why would he/she care you get hit thats on you :)
Love it, something reassuring about train horns, born four house away from the tracks and worked most of my life next to the switch yards.
Ironically, the first person to tempt fate was wearing a hi-vi. I guess that'll make it easier to find all the pieces later when he inevitably tries something else similar and trips
Why does everyone seem to want to get on the tracks when the train is coming?
They're trying to commit suicide
Maybe they like trains and want to get a look up close?

Insurance scames
that fire truck is a pierce truck. the ambulance is a ford E350
Wow thanks for the fun fact i dont know my cars and trucks that well
Who asked?
Congrats on 111,000 subscribers
You count train horns like Archer counts bullets. ;-)
Eli Christman Dude, yes!
a few days ago the same thing happened. I was in Wellesley, Massachusetts when the Lakeshore Limited came. It blew it's horn every 2 seconds because of how close the stations were.
Why did't they time the lights to detect the train? At the very least, they could have had them flashing red in all four directions while the train went through.
don't be so sensible my good sir
Because Florida...hurry up and submerge it already!
Besides that, lights won't stop stupid people!
Traffic lights are always the cheapest required by law. It usually takes a fatality before upgrades are made.
If you look at the light that hangs out over the track at each intersection, you can see a little flashing red light out at the end of the pole. Pretty sure that's the preempt showing the train is overriding the traffic lights to all red. We have that in MN, except they're white, and we use them for emergency vehicles, too.
NO WAY there should be this train track through the city! What a mess! Good capture, Alan.
Robert Comer The problem is they built the city around the train track
I agree. And, that was in the 1800's.
that guy looked pretty experienced. Imagine the times he has to deal with this.
I love your video's and I am a long time subscriber. You are one of my favorite youtobers.

Thanks for sharing this with the new version
I would have blasted the horn non-stop!!
Then you run out of steam... then what?
@@ShainAndrews These horns run on compressed air and not steam. The same air supply used for braking. It doesn't run out that fast
@@physetermacrocephalus9986 So then it runs out of steam and no brakes? That's even worse!
Shain Andrews How stupid can you be?
really brotha ikr
I’ve never seen a street run train before. :( but I’m guessing these people are used to it because they are just driving 10 feet from a train. Great video
In the UK we call it trainspotting :)
In my neck of the woods if youre on the track you are smashed. They drive fast around here in minnesota. I dont ever see any drivers sneaking through the arms that come down.
I am dubbing that engineer "Horatio Hornblower." :)
2:54 i laugh when the conductor keeps on blowing the horn twice
2:49 if you look carefully there’s a gate light on the traffic light
156 can you believe that i counted it for fun i was board and i love your channle keep it up
i live there, its such an odd place to make a railway and here in Florida traffic and people are rude, welcome to Florida where its the sunshine state Tropicana train is close too.
MoonLight Productions trust and believe me when i say the rails were here long before any of those buildings...
@@nunyabizness9544 Exactly. Ppl just took it in a count too build around it. 🤦🏾♂
Love that horn 🔊
People take trains for granted. without them you wouldn't have the food you eat or the things you drink. you wouldn't have your car or the supplies to build your house.
_ Hornet _ That would be the trucking industry, not trains
Donnie Brasco well he is right, the train can't come straight up the store.
Donnie Brasco true it's like
Train:75%
Truck:25%
Donnie Brasco can't have a conversation without name calling ? Are you a fifth grader?
Clorox Bleach If you don't want to wait 6-8 weeks for it, you'll put it on a truck.
IT'S HORNING BECAUSE IT'S CARRYING TANKERS
Hi Millennium. Good vid, but one catch ( I think). As far as I remember (1970's Seaboard Coast Line RR days), this train was always called "The Port Tampa Local". Don't recall hearing "Street Runner", which would have been more appropriate back then due to the trackage on Rome Ave which the PT Local also ran on, serving customers on that street. But it's neat that it's still running today and on almost the same time slot (5pm hour) as it did 40 years ago. Sadly one facet that's changed is that, in spite of all of the modern technology people today seem to drive more ignorantly and carelessly then back in those days!
Thank you for that information. You are correct. Today they call all trains that run down the middle of a busy downtown metro area a street runner. The name became so popular that I started using it for viewers to find.
No problema, understandable as Street Runer is very easy to remember. Doubtful that most people outside of the Tampa Bay area have even heard of "Port Tampa".
Thanks Millenium, good to know. I've been a long time rail fan, yet I'm always learning something new ;-)
My father worked for CSX back when it was SCL then even father back up in WVA he worked for Chessie System..we used to have a lot of old signs that would be worth a lot..I still have a ton of old locomotive repair books...mostly 50s/60s GE EMD models..I would love to give to someone who would appreciate them...My uncle even worked for Amtrak then quit to start his own locomotive repair yard in Lakeland...hence more repair manuals..If I only had my dads and uncles knowledge on how to repair those huge beasts...
That’s in downtown Tampa and people arr complaining that the train should go thru without blowing the horn!! Traffic has gotten gotten heavy even at night so don’t complaint when the train is been careful and letting you know it’s going thru! Blow that horn louder!!!
GUYS WE NEED TO FINE THE TRAIN IT WENT THROUGH STOP RED LIGHTS.
I’m digging that No Turns LED sign on the traffic light.
Unbelievable how stupid people are becoming, you see a train it means not to drive or walk in front of it. Smfh.
That was cool. I remember as a boy in early 60s Norfolk and Western ran up 6th Street to their small yard downtown. It's all gone now. The only remnants is the concrete patch where the tracks once were! You can see where all the switches were that went to all the business sidings. The era is fading into history. We also had the CB&Q yard and round house down by the river most gone part of the huge yard is still used by the Burlington Junction Railway.
Nothing new, I have been in other places with street running where the engineer does more than this. He just about lays on the horn.
Wow nice horn. He blew 140 time's
train ran a red light...citizens arrest!
That's GOOD! Go get 'em Barney or Goomer!
Geee Whiz..Thanks GOMER...
ANY time. Nothing I like better than a good citizens arrest!
4:27 the car with the missing hub cap...along with the comment about making a beat with the horn count....too funny, I need a life
Any body else love trains
supreme savage Me I have models of trains
I like when the firetruck honked it's horn at you
Why not respect the train people?! Get out of the way. Like .....dah!
Is it me or anyone else notice that the conductor was pretty much the coolest there is without really turning around to see what’s going on, and still managed to get the train through the city without any incident.…
Engineer* And you can see if you look closely they have mirrors in front of the window to see backwards.
I lost count at 131.
Should of finished 10th grade 🤣
crashing down
“Should of” 😂
Seems crazy having a train going down the middle of traffic
4:26 focus in the train and the cars will look like they were cropped into the video
With Milleniumforce it probably is this dude is a clickbait railfan all he does is put something to make you watch the video and then its completely garbage. Everytime I see one of his videos in suggested I see the title then as soon as I click it I see his name and get disappointed.
Unfortunately, he doesn't need to insert cars into this, By and large people in Florida are just that dumb.
But how did he manage to get the flashing red beacon to flash inside people's cars and at difference brightness whether it's through the front windows or rear windows?
I'm not sure what you mean? You can only crop stuff OUT of a video not IN.
johnnieo66 everyone looses there brain when they turn on a car here in fla, even the cops
I love how you can have something like this roll down the street in America, in England we would need a 5 year debate before we could even think about a tram.

The cars are stopping the train shouldn't the train be doing the stopping???
no trains have the right of way under most circumstances.
Paco Gee I think he meant the train should be causing the cars to stop instead of the train having to stop for cars which are being jerks
No the cars shold be stoping
The lights should all turn red when the train comes through. I understand the situation with the emergency vehicles however, if I were the conductor I'd give them a bit of time before I tried to muscle through them unless I had a high priority payload for the government.
Don't you just love the "me first" thinking of people from the United states?
What kind of third World country has freight trains coming down the High Street?
Clive Cassidy America. Pretty sure that's not a third world country though.
because the former seaboard railroad tracks were there 100 years before all the roads & stupid drivers 😉
Clive Cassidy India, for one.
Because the railroad was there first, and the city needed room to grow, so they built right up to the rail line.
Scott M Stolz really?? that's mad. just frustrates the engineer's driving the train. bloody hell"
Absolutely crazy running trains down streets like that. Im glad we dont have them like that in the U.K. It seems so dangerous.
Ttrucker As someone who is used to seeing trains running seperately in their own channels it does not look at all safe to me but I agree with you about staying out of the way!
Here if a road needs to be built where a railway is, it would be made completely seperately with a bridge or tunnel where they cross. To someone in Britain where trains may sometimes run alongside roads but at a lower level or occasionally higher and with at least a gap and a fence in between, to keep people off the lines, seeing a train running on a road can only mean one thing. ----
THE TRAIN IS OUT OF CONTROL and has come off the its tracks, running all over the place like something out of a disaster movie! Must be a terrible shock if a British visitor hires a car and no-one warns them.
haha, that's so cool!! I didn't know Tampa had one of these street runners!
Facinating and terrifying. What is wrong with people? Emergency vehicles especially; those drivers should be reprimanded.
Camera, is very good! Great zoom!
The Sound that wakes me up at 10 pm
I couldn't work on that street. I'd either be running outside or gawking out the nearest window whenever a train came by. :)
nice beat. saftey and nice beat beep on a train horn
And the engineer isn't even facing forward. He's looking backwards and using a mirror to see what's ahead. That seems inherently dangerous.
I was a Brakeman for BNRR ,I have seen this very thing ,people just wont stop I saw people go under moving cars as well as Seattle city buses running the gates!
If I wasn't from this city, I would think I was dreaming if this thing rode by.
AYE!!!!! HE GOT 200K. Wow considering it took like 10 years to reach 100k, this channel ia blowing up!
Lived in Tampa for seven years and never knew about this !
The conductor is only making sure people know he's coming around. Just like forklift operators (good ones) honk twice before going thru flaps/door ways. Nice work on the conductors part.
Even stranger, at the end of that street the train then goes *through* a parking garage before it goes over a railroad bridge crossing a river.
Trains are just magical somehow.
Very nice video...thanks
I know! Let's build a whole city block around this railway track... What a brilliant idea!
Tank cars through the middle of downtown with people as oblivious by a locomotive going backwards... I can see why the horn. There are controlled crossings in our town so the trains don't even need to toot their horn - I think that is crazier.
that is so bizarre it makes it look like the train is driving on the road and that's awesome
EMT and fire fighters are very complacent on where they park their vehicles. People go out of their way for them so they rarely go out of the way of others (except when driving and evading idiots of course).
When they park, they usually are there to stay until they leave.
THAT INTRO IS SWEET
Best part is this train runs right beside some of the most expensive condos and apartments you can possibly get around tampa 😂😂 how's that good life sounding
It also passes in between court houses, that's gotta piss some judges off.
That is so disrespectful! That train should NOT have stopped. RESPECT THE HORN KEEP YOUR LIFE!
Reminds me of that arcade game "Frogger." Doesn't matter if we get hit, WE MUST GET ACROSS!!!
keep it up your sooo good at making videos like this
Having grown up in Tampa, I remember those trains.
Impressive, wonderful get.
