Jacksonville's yards are pretty big. They serve two main railroads, CSX and FEC. In this video we pass through one of them. I think it's Moncrief, but it could be Bowden. After passing the yards and all the freight there, we putter into Jacksonville station about 1 hour late, a delay they gained near Orlando. Enjoy!

  • Good vid! More please! Jacksonville Clifford Lane Station. Sometimes, there are a lot of people that get on at this station! Jacksonville needs to get back to Union Station ASAP!

    Seems like it was even worse, back in the day, when there were more Florida trains! Ah, the good old days!

  • @SightseerLounge I think eventually they will. The only issue with Union Station is the fact trains would have to back into it.

  • Tomorrow i am going! i hope the weather in Jacksonville doesn't bother me and we should be arriving about 5:10 pm if the train is on time.

  • Well there's an 80% chance of rain tomorrow. The temps should be pretty mild though so that's good. Have fun!

  • In Jacksonville i noticed those two railyards Csx and Fec and it's really big! no wonder it's was so big! i made request from Publix and i will check my schdule from work.Another 5 stars for you!

  • Yeah Jacksonville has huge yards. They have to be for the 3 railroads that converge here. I just wish they would get some better passenger rail. There's plenty of good trackage to support it.

see all

  • @murjax That's why there has to be some kind of connection built so that trains can "loop" back to the mainlines while there is still room! This is what the original planners should have done. They'll regret it if they don't do it now. I know it!

  • @murjax True! Although, I love coming into Florence, South Carolina, around the big curve. It's just something about Florence that has grown on me in the last couple of years. I believe there is a hotel that you can see behind the station. I'll check! Maybe, that is reason! I can stay up until Florence! LOL!

    I've also seen the Auto Train on a couple of occasions! I love looking up into the Superliners.

  • thats passin through CSX Moncrief yard
