The Front Runner Commuter Rail in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA 2022

The entire length of FrontRunner corridor (including the southern extension) has been approved as a "Quiet Zone" by the Federal Railroad Administration. "Typically, federal railroad safety regulations require that all train operators sound their horns for 15 to 20 seconds as they approach any road crossing."Essentially a Quiet Zone designation eliminates this requirement. However, for obvious safety reasons, they are not prohibited from sounding their horn, if appropriate. The Quiet Zone applies to all trains (including freight trains) within the same corridor. Each city along the route had to individually apply for the designation, but UTA provided substantial assistance with the process. Several safety upgrades must be in place at all public crossings in order to receive Quiet Zone approval. In addition to the normal automatic warning bells and lights, required upgrades include crossing guards, signs warning that trains do not blare horns in the area, and raised medians (which prevent cars from driving around lowered gates). There are also additional safety features for pedestrians. Prior to the southern extension, FrontRunner had the longest Quiet Zone in the nation-the southern extension doubled the length of the previous Quiet Zone. ~Wikipedia

Cool video. Snappy colors. Thanks Tim for sharing😀💚

FrontRunner is all about giving tours of the maintenance facility. If you're in the area to film they will let you get some in cab footage from the yard. If you're nice they'll even let you honk a horn or two 😄

Love seeing my state's transportation system

Very useful if you have a job 2 hours away from where you live

I liked them when I could use them. I don't miss them now since they were unaccessible

7:43 - Station display? Train museum?
Do you research ahead of time which routes and stations you're going to film? Or do you just randomly hop on and see what you discover?
Thanks for sharing.

Occasionally some google street view is helpful!!

@@timosha21 rail crossing locator is useful as well, it will also tell you what subdivision it is and what railroad runs it

Στο ίδιο επίπεδο με το Light Rail του Salt Lake City είναι και ο προαστιακός σιδηρόδρομος της Utah ο οποίος εκτείνεται στον άξονα Odgen - Provon. Ικανοποιητική η επιβατική κίνηση, πολλοί οι επιβάτες με ποδήλατα. Διώροφα βαγόνια, πετρελαιοκίνηση, όχι πολύ υψηλές ταχύτητες, ικανοποιητική καθαριότητα. Μόνο η ηλεκτροκίνηση απουσιάζει αλλά πιστεύω ότι οι άνθρωποι της Utah δείχνουν πολύ σοβαροί και πιθανόν στο μέλλον τα προαστιακά τους τραίνα να είναι και ηλεκτροκίνητα και πιο γρήγορα...

I live in Utah and we love our trains. They won't be electric for awhile since our power grid isn't setup for it.

@@albinoguidedog Συγγνώμη, δεν σας κατάλαβα! Εννοείτε ότι το δίκτυο του ρεύματος της Πολιτείας Utah δεν επαρκεί για να ηλεκτροδοτήσει τα τραίνα εκεί; Είναι αλήθεια ότι δυσκολεύομαι να το πιστέψω, διότι ακόμα και εδώ στην Ελλάδα έχουμε ηλεκτροκίνηση σε μεγάλο μήκος των σιδηροδρόμων μας, άρα πιστεύω ότι το ρεύμα στην Πολιτεία της Utah επαρκεί για την ηλεκτροκίνηση των τραίνων εκεί. Έχω την εντύπωση ότι γενικά στις ΗΠΑ προτιμούσαν τα τραίνα πετρελαίου αντί των ηλεκτρικών, αλλά αυτό αλλάζει σιγά, σιγά. Εύχομαι η Utah να αποκτήσει πρώτη ηλεκτροκίνητα προαστιακά τραίνα!
