That guy should have stood on the track and shout that at the train driver before he gets the words out he would have been spreaded across the tracks like buter on bread lol
@@TheWhiteFamilySeries the town should know when trains are scheduled and plan a parade around their time tables. CSX and other freight lines are not going to hold trains back because a town is having a parade. 🤷🙄
My neighbor town Plainfield, Illinois hosts their Homecoming Parade every Fall and it routes through an active Railroad Crossing and it was not cut by a train once, I was in their Parade twice and not once was cut by a train.
LOL sadly here in Plant City that's impossible there are so many train tracks. It also happens every March during the annual Strawberry Festival Parade.
Hi, I'm from São Paulo - Brazil: My days are filled with joy and freedom when I see the cyclist from Ashland, I am very happy to see him through the cameras of the station. Long life and great health and happiness to the cycling citizen of Ashland!
Some people don't understand that there is very few roads within plant city that don't have railroad crossings. It would probably be impossible to have a downtown parade without crossing a few.
Dork dude complaining about the 1st train going too fast and the second going too slow: "they dun slow dat'un down. Eeets gone tayke 10minnutts fer dis'un a go thru". Took 2 minutes 28 seconds.
Bro he's autistic and a foamer. Cut him some slack. He's trying to show off for the viewers and people around him while he records so they know he knows rail stuff.
First off; what I've said many times, (on other parade/train videos) towns SHOULD NOT route parades over active railroad crossings. The incident in Midland, Texas, (about five ? years ago) should be a warning! Second; A requested slow down for a town event doesn't always make it to the affected trains in quick order. How far in advance was this request? A few days, a few hours? The channels of message relaying can and does take time. This would be low on the priority list, below normal railroad business. I don't know the particulars regarding this event, but I'll refer back to my first statement!
this reminds of a parade that I saw in Fillmore a few years ago. they had to stop because a train was coming by, and it happened when a marching band was marching through the railroad crossing. the band was split into two. luckily, no one was hurt.
Wow....hahaha, you've got Amtrak, its fine, it already long gone. Now you've got CSX or BNSF or NORFOLK SOUTHERN...you might seat down to watch the show please!! I love this video!!
jjgravy; CSX corporation can order a train to override a slow order, however the Engineer and conductor onboard cannot override the slow order on their own. So, both you and Alex are correct.
That Silver Star was hauling. I'm assuming by your comments the slow order was in effect and they ignored it? Usually they don't go nowhere near that fast during the parades.
When "visitors" get "bent" a train is going through "hick town USA" they're in. This train line is crossing main street. Check out LaGrange KY where the train runs down the middle of mainstreet !
Great video but trains do have priority over a parade. The thing is trains have to jockey for time on the a single line because they must make time for another train going the other direction. Just in case you didn't know that....
camposwilliam62 I’m pretty sure there’s a siding before the crossing and yes they do have priority over parades trains are more important and you know they can’t stop in time for just a parade
Nice video man! I like the angles, and the fact you showed the entire train! Here in Bakersfield CA our Christmas Parade doesnt cross over any of the 3 remaining at-grade rail crossings (L Street and N Street along the BNSF line and 30th Street along the UP line), but our arena (Rabobank Arena) is next to the N street crossing any you have to cross the tracks to get to the main parking lot and before the city put in a pedestrian bridge fans leaving a hockey or basketball game or other event would have up to 20-30 min wait to cross because the trains going westbound have to stop 2x to switch the tracks as they maneuver through downtown. Many would get impatient. It seems as if everyone in this video is patiently but anxiously watching the trains go by as they wait to see the parade. I love to watch trains go by when i get a chance (i live near the BNSF line that goes through downtown Bakersfield and through the northwest part of town (where i live) on its way to Hanford and Fresno to our north). I know that is off subject but i wanted to share it with you.
Living in iowaim more surprised by people being able to walk around in short sleeves in December. Here in iowa we would have a ton of snow and temps of 0 with windchills below that lol
Reminds me of that Video you did 1 Video Alan where the Christmas Parade got cut into Thirds just because 2 CSX Trains didn't follow Slow Orders either!
Off. Wait till there’s a parade on the Florida East Coast tracks (or Brightline since Brightline is owned by FEC) and a parade there. Then an 80 MPH Brightline interrupts
well these guys have a schedule to keep they are going to keep it especially if he was already late? well they need to change the route why have it where the trains use that track that much time a day and night then they get blame for not going slow its crazy
At night even?!?! This town should be sued by parade participants for public endangering and negligence this never should have been done at night. The speed restriction? Oh yea a person or float gets stuck on the track that will give the train plenty of time to stop (if it is for 1 mph).
Or you take the times from the last stop and the stop it's heading and you calculate how long it will take for the train to reach the crossing.. you could keep track of time and if you know how long it is in between each train then your golden.. that's what I would do
Great video and probably my greatest fear from when I was in marching units cause I was always on a flank. Thankfully the town I marched in where able to work times out with the area railroad, NW I believe.
Not following speed restriction? Going about the same speed during the monthly Strawberry Classic cruise in car show. Also , freight trains generally do run slower , make more frequent stops, etc... Passenger trains are on a tighter schedule and run faster.
Rajha Werner in plant city, there are almost no roads without crossings on them, and CSX doesn’t have to coordinate with the cities they go through. They own the tracks, it’s their property. If they run over a road their using, they can still go through, because they are on railroad property
So do they design these parade routes so that the trains are part of the experience? Surely (not Shirley) there has to be other options for a parade route so that trains don't interrupt and the temptation of idiots being idiots won't be there...as much. But otherwise, great video as always, Alan! Oh and you have human crossing gate imitators now. Check out Longmont Railway's channel. But I also shouldn't talk. I recently made a video of my 8 year old son getting hit on the head by a lowering crossing gate at the Denver Zoo!
Everywhere in the world trains have the upper hand when it comes to crossings, not in America and people will get mad that the trains have to cross the "RailWay Crossing".

and at 4:57 CSX says Merry Christmas in Train Horn!

I think these trains are adding to the fun of the parade. I would SO attend a parade like this!
My neighbor town Plainfield, Illinois hosts their Homecoming Parade every Fall and it routes through an active Railroad Crossing and it was not cut by a train once, I was in their Parade twice and not once was cut by a train.
We get it already, CSX; you're sponsoring the parade. Gotta love how cities almost always set up their parades around railroad tracks.
Because the railroad tracks in small town USA are running through their main streets.
Well you still have to follow speed limits when kids are around
Maybe they should consider using a different street next time. Like one without a crossing. LOL!
LOL sadly here in Plant City that's impossible there are so many train tracks. It also happens every March during the annual Strawberry Festival Parade.
Oh Wow. That's pretty funny. Lots of tracks is cool though.
plant city is littered with tracks.
Trixieb Beldon there are anough street in plant City FL tha are length wise for the parade route
Example mlk to Park rd
I like how all the people are behind barriers but millennium force and the cops are right in the tracks

what a dork.

2:03, the train or heritage unit would say,” Out of the way, express coming thru.” And that is also his excuse.
>He's not following the speed restriction!

Speed restriction? "Ain't nobody got time fo dat!"
If you didn’t know that Amtrak was playing jingle bells

maddennis55 plus they don't have to accept the request either.
maddennis55 yeah true
Yea one of the worst places to plan a parade
Well Plant City is littered with train tracks.
Sick hornshow from that amtrak
Csx: Hey watch it! i’m delivering containers!
What song is used in the Intro again I forgot
Also it's strange that performers were doing stuff on the track's
Showoffs.
this reminds of a parade that I saw in Fillmore a few years ago. they had to stop because a train was coming by, and it happened when a marching band was marching through the railroad crossing. the band was split into two. luckily, no one was hurt.
Luck has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's easy to clear the tracks in time people do it every day!
Amtrak: "Choo, Choo, I'm coming through motherfuckers!"
Well, the trains ADDED to the parade. XD !!!
This actually happened in my hometown's Christmas parade last year. One Amtrak train and then a long freight train.
Wow....hahaha, you've got Amtrak, its fine, it already long gone. Now you've got CSX or BNSF or NORFOLK SOUTHERN...you might seat down to watch the show please!! I love this video!!
In Canada I had a parade the amtrak in montreal was speed restriced so as the exo and csx
I'm also going to add that Csx Overrides the speed restricituons if the train is high priorty on a tight time limit.
jjgravy; CSX corporation can order a train to override a slow order, however the Engineer and conductor onboard cannot override the slow order on their own. So, both you and Alex are correct.
That Silver Star was hauling. I'm assuming by your comments the slow order was in effect and they ignored it? Usually they don't go nowhere near that fast during the parades.
Not like anyone could do anything until after the fact and only if the company chooses too. Officer! Pull over that speeding train!!!
@Allison Vanschindel they was obviously joking 🤦♂️
Nice video Alan! Great shots as well!

TheMrDavidLangley so true :)
I love it when a train does that! It tells people "we are not popular, but we are still king!"
Nice video Alan Smith.
The Christmas parade where I'm at doesn't go over the tracks (since I'm in boy scouts, I WAS in it)
Reminds me of that Video you did 1 Video Alan where the Christmas Parade got cut into Thirds just because 2 CSX Trains didn't follow Slow Orders either!
It basically happens every year
Passenger trains have different speed restrictions than freight. And typically all speeds including restrictions are faster than freight.
Is there a real song of the music in the beginning because I love that music if there is then please make a music video Of that same somg
I love how PD stands right in front of the train tracks.
love all your videos millimforce
That last train wasn't CSX it was NS
Off. Wait till there’s a parade on the Florida East Coast tracks (or Brightline since Brightline is owned by FEC) and a parade there. Then an 80 MPH Brightline interrupts

Saw you out there doing your thing. Good shots man.
Nice K5L on that CSX dash-8. An NS leader on a CSX train is odd, like a BNSF leader on a UP train; you almost never see that.
At night even?!?! This town should be sued by parade participants for public endangering and negligence this never should have been done at night. The speed restriction? Oh yea a person or float gets stuck on the track that will give the train plenty of time to stop (if it is for 1 mph).
Great vid I love your channel.But I wonder how you know when and we’re all the trains are?
Or you take the times from the last stop and the stop it's heading and you calculate how long it will take for the train to reach the crossing.. you could keep track of time and if you know how long it is in between each train then your golden.. that's what I would do
something tells me that he wasn’t following the speed restriction!
Nothing does my heart better than a train ruining an event that isn't very important 😃❤️
Why have the parade at night
Did that tonight at Lakeland's Christmas parade to
Missed it tonight but going to the Ybor city Christmas parade Saturday night. It is the biggest one in the Tampa Bay area.
If i can get a ride we will be there and no train going through it
Did you see the train derailment here in Lakeland up on Kathleen
Crazy stuff
Perhaps the parade planning committee should consider a route which does not cross railroad tracks.
AWESOME VIDEO
What was he pointing at in 5:37?
Macironiinasalad 574 most likely at the crate stacks
I don’t believe Amtrak follows speed restrictions I do believe those are only applies to freight trains and not passengers
Great video and probably my greatest fear from when I was in marching units cause I was always on a flank. Thankfully the town I marched in where able to work times out with the area railroad, NW I believe.
Three Times? and now it went up to 4 just Last Year Amtrak and CSX are just trying to Increase from Last Year? this is Getting Ridiculous!
Not following speed restriction? Going about the same speed during the monthly Strawberry Classic cruise in car show.
Also , freight trains generally do run slower , make more frequent stops, etc...
Passenger trains are on a tighter schedule and run faster.
Isn't it dangerous to have a parade at night anyway?
Great shots, looks like i'm there.
Without them we wouldn't get goods where they need to be
btw my kid loves millennium force & trains. meet & greets?
Sorry, i dont live in america but what are the cop bikes doing? In the start of the video
Supposed catching speeders [ that helps add to the town's revenue]
George Chism Thanks.
they are so close to railroad tracks where trains come and go csx and Amtrak
Really cool ! Thanks for sharing !
Heard the Amtrak was singing “Jingle bells”
I grow up around a lot of railroad crossing in yemassee in cooswhatichie
Is that 145? OR 822?
"Ain't following the speed restriction." HILT HILT HILT.
hi Alan I might do a vid of a rail crossing gate hitting me on the head of I do it will be at a crossing that's not too busy
Sweet catches
Why csx does this not coordinate with each city they're going through idk
Rajha Werner in plant city, there are almost no roads without crossings on them, and CSX doesn’t have to coordinate with the cities they go through. They own the tracks, it’s their property. If they run over a road their using, they can still go through, because they are on railroad property
Jackson Abernathy i understand that but ether the city or town should coordinate with the rail road
2 Days ago in Washington State, an AMTRAK train derailed onto a highway killing 3 people. My nanny told me.
Shawn McGinnis yeah. It fell off a bridge on to an interstate (interstate 5 I think?) just south of Seattle
Oh, to have been one of the passengers on that Amtrak train....
Too fast? The signals were green over red (two signal)!
So what got a job to do
Parade planners didn't learn from mom "don't play on the railroad tracks!"
good video mate I enjoyed it
So do they design these parade routes so that the trains are part of the experience? Surely (not Shirley) there has to be other options for a parade route so that trains don't interrupt and the temptation of idiots being idiots won't be there...as much.
But otherwise, great video as always, Alan!

Isn't it a little early for this?
no everyone is having parades all around
Ohhhh ok in Canada they do a Christmas train.
jacky chain Ameica has several Christmas trains too, but the one that runs near me is discontinued in 2013.
Canon City, Colorado has the best Christmas train in the state, IMO. www.royalgorgeroute.com
the Christmas parade I went to was on the 2nd so...
Awsome video I love trains
The first csx train driver was nice i like people like him
I was in the parade with the Marshall Band!
The exact thing happened in Benson NC
Amtrak train had one of their Heritage Units on this train.....
Great video!
that boxcar say “SLUTS”? looks like somebody’s child learned a new word
You think young kids do the painting? Come to Phila.and see how old the "ARTISTS" look.
George Chism i never said kids did it.
i didnt mean to make it sound like i did
This street would not be a good place for parades, because of those active train tracks.
Nice job getting a hornshow from 822 lol
trains have a speed that can't just stop it takes a while for them to stop
AM AFRAID THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE HIT BY THE TRAIN..
4:50 if it stopped there the railroad crossings would have never signaled
Everywhere in the world trains have the upper hand when it comes to crossings, not in America and people will get mad that the trains have to cross the "RailWay Crossing".
Great video
Guys I made a video of this to from the other side of the crossing. Will anyone watch it?
