My co-worker and good friend Matt Reider gives me a horn show and also gives me a shout-out over the radio after this video was taken. He is now back in Florida after 6 months in Havre, Montana working on the Empire Builder.
A monster 177-car CSX L453 went into emergency right in front of me as it was approaching Lakeland, blocking 10th Street in the process for about two hours. The crew said the train was long because Friday's Q453 was annuled due to crew shortage, and both trains were combined into one. The crew also said that they went into an undesired emergency.
That "jingle bells" audio is from coasterfan2105's video....
