It's that time of the year again in Plant City Florida when we have our annual Strawberry Festival Parade in Strawberry Capitol in the world and Amtrak train the Silver Star number 91 wants to take a bite of strawberry short cake. This is a video I made on March 3, 2014 in historical downtown Plant City Florida during a parade and along the parade route the floats have got to cross the tracks. Watch as on going party citizens gets there parade cut in half because Amtrak wants to be part of the festivities.
Amtrak train the Silver Star becomes the Strawberry Star the hit of the parade.

Now, imagine if this crossing was a "no train horn" zone. Most would not see that train coming. Let's all vote to keep horns on train!

I started laughing when the train came through. Sounded like he tried to match the song with the horn at first.

The train going through was more interesting than the parade

@jdzonline5008 6 лет назад

The train simply wanted to see what was going on because it heard music!

Screw The Parade and GO AMTRAK!!!!!!!!!! I'd go to see the train, not the parade!! Awesome video!!

I'm going to guess that Amtrak was running on restricted signals due to how slow it's going.

Seems to me that Amtrak actually knew about the parade and was running slow on purpose. Good vid tho! Had me sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time! :P

Who has a parade route down a street with an active railroad crossing?

I bet the engineer was very amused.

Glad to see they had enough warning+ Amtrak slowed down through the crossing.Kudos to all involved.

Once at the pet parade a BNSF mixed freight and an Amtrak Horizon Express were giving a horn show. Also a dual locomotive Metra train showed up.

Great catch of this situation! I presume CSX® Dispatch and Amtrak® were both informed of the Strawberry Festival, so the two blocks through Plant City were placed on speed restriction. A lot less trouble getting out of the way of a 15 m.p.h. train than one blasting through town at fifty-plus. ;-)

Thanks to the Alameda corridor (most railroads running through L. A. proper are either rerouted or abandoned south of downtown), parades can proceed pretty much uninterrupted.

Can’t forget, it would be soooooo funny to see the passengers dancing inside the train!

@renegadeoflife87 8 лет назад

Looks like the train was told that the parade was happening and approached it nice and slow, just in case people or one of the floats was on the tracks.

You NEED to stop by Amsterdam NY next vacation. CSX Freights constantly. Every like 5-15 minutes band amtrak runs too. If you want more info just let me know. Nice video too!
