GIANT CSX Train With DPU Passes Abandoned Railroad Crossing, Then Does Railroad Switching As It Reverses Into Winston Yard. These Freight Trains & Amtrak Train Are In Lakeland, Florida. The train is doing railroad switching in the railroad yard that is just south of the CSX wye behind the drive in on the west side of Lakeland, Florida.
First we see a giant 3 mile long CSX freight train with a DPU cross the abandoned railroad crossing at Gay Road. This is a mixed freight on its way to Winston Yard. After the train passes me it reverses and uses the east leg of the wye to access Winston Yard. This yard has track that runs from Lakeland to Mulberry where we stayed at Best Western Motel. The train makes a few back and forth moves with the DPU in order to break the train down onto several tracks. Later that night I saw this same train going eastbound through Lakeland although it was shorter. We were walking around the huge lake in town that is across from the Amtrak station when it passed and I was unable to film it.
After the railroad switching we see an Amtrak train flying by eastbound past us. It had just left Tampa and was running between Miami and New York City. This was one of the fastest Amtrak trains that I have ever seen. It was booking son!!
Next we take a trip to the Circle B Bar Reserve between Lakeland and Mulberry, Florida. We went to that wildlife reserve on two different days. We still didn't complete hiking all the trails. That place is a must see. If you want to see alligators and wildlife you have to go there. Alligators are everywhere! Mrs Tooth counted 21 of them when we walked out on the wooden pier that goes into the lake. Don't fall in the water! Don't bring pets either or they will become alligator food. If you take children there I would recommend that you watch them closely. The lake is really cool because there are no boats on it and there are no buildings next to it. It looks like you are in the middle of nowhere but Lakeland is only a few miles away. We also saw a short local train go by with a caboose on the rear. It went westbound past us on the main and then reversed southbound down the west leg of the wye into Winston Yard.
