- Yesterday on my way back to Tampa, I decided to drop by Plant City once more to see what's there. The actions were better than the last time I was there, but what really made my day was that I finally get to meet a railfan whom I was always hoping to meet in Florida (you'll find out who it is at the end of this video). Enjoy!
Train 1: Right when I got to Plant City, the gates were already down and I ran to the crossing to get a closer shot of an outbound Amtrak Silver Star. Yeah, I know this clip wasn't in the best location, but it was the only choice I had to get closer to the train from the parking lot without missing it.

Texas Train Kid Yeah I was glad to finally meet a railfan celebrity. Thanks!
Congratulations on 500 subscribers, Shawn. And great video too.
Thanks Victor!
I just got back from Plant City last week. I got lucky to see a long coal train go through on its way south. You should also try Lakeland . Its a short distance to the east and has a nice restaurant right next tothe tracks.
Cool! I dunno if I should try Lakeland the next time I go to Florida since I've heard it's a quiet zone there and I prefer horn zones.
Awesome video! I think you must be getting extremely lucky, because I've never see a railfan go down to Florida or Folkston and get GEVOs leading a good chunk of the time! And I would've loved to see that ethanol train, but I bet you that that power came on Q409 or Q031 and now it's heading back north and won't take the RFP sub
Thanks! And yeah
Great video man! Great thing you got to meet Alan that day! Hopefully when I go to Plant City i can meet him!
Thanks Kerry! I was so glad to finally meet the person who I wanted to see the most at Florida! Hopefully you can see him either in Plant City or when he comes to SD on his tour
Great video and congrats on 500 subscribers!
Thanks CJ! I never expected to hit 500 that quick! Another 500 and I shall hit 1K. Plus since Alan added my channel to his featured channels, I should gain a 10% boost of subs as well
Nice! I have been gaining at least 4 or a week
Awesome CSX GEVO K5HL Horn Nice CSX AC4400CW
Nice stuff man! Glad you got to meet him!
Thanks Bishop! I was glad to finally meet a railfan comedian!
Well you finally meet alan! anyway great catches!
Great catches! I see you met Alan Smith. I met him a few times. He is a very cool person!
Thanks! I was just lucky that day. And that's cool! He's an awesome person! Hopefully I can meet him again this summer when he goes on a tour
The famous Plant City.. How does it feel to be filming in the exact spot soo many Millenniumforce videos were made? haha
And so awesome by the way Plant City and Folkston in one trip!
HoustonRailFan ™ my friend 1876
Great catches, buddy!
Thanks!
Looks like a fairly busy day!
Yeah, it was busier than on the weekends. I stayed there for about 2 hours and got 5 trains
When I was with my grandpa, we saw 930 and 847. 10 minutes before it left, we left
Oh wow, interesting to hear that you saw the Q740! Was it halted at Tampa? Cause I've heard Q740 are usually halted at Tampa till 1 PM
Nope, we saw it at the tropicana yard in Bradenton setting up to go!
great job on meeting Alan
Thanks! I was glad to finally meet the person whom I wanted to see the most in Florida
Anytime Shawn
