POV Cab Ride | UTA FrontRunner Commuter Rail | Ogden to Provo in real time | The Southbound Trip

The best POV on this line is on the top floor looking west. Watching the sunset over the valley 😍

Does Amtrak Uses These Tracks Between Provo Central and Salt Lake Central. I love it also

How u get a cabride

I'm watching this and I see that the platforms don't require an ADA ramp, so like, why the hell do they need to spot the cab at the same exact spot every time? Then it hit me, looking at the goofy wayside signals, the track infrastructure, and the separate ROW, this train is like a giant Light Rail System. I've heard that UTA calls their Engineers "operators" which, is in line with the whole LRV culture, and that begs the question: How's the pay? is it light rail pay? or actual RR pay? I've never seen a commuter system done like that before. They're usually contracted out to a third-party contractor or Amtrak begrudgingly does it. This seems like it's all in-house and I'd also assume they promote their light rail guys to Frontrunner eventually.

That's a nice video as I live in Utah too and sometimes when I record Frontrunner trains I hear their horns I always wished it wasn't a no horn zone throughout the entire line but when you did the horn through the construction zone it sounded like the best horn. I have see Frontrunner Cab Car 118 lead a train before but I doubt it was around the time when you where driving it. I also like how the Cab car has white stripes and not yellow ones like most of them. I hope that trip from Ogden to Provo was nice as I have been that far before and I liked it.

very nice track. nice and smooth.

I am always concerned for the train engineer's mental health, after seeing so many dumb drivers near train tracks. I do try to wave or give a thumbs up to them near railroad crossings. Sometimes I can see them, with a big 'ol grin. :-)

You did a fantastic job on the timestamps. Thanks for the upload.

Very nice video. Some observations: Very surprised that there was no horn blowing at grade crossings; very few freight trains seen; very rough ride at higher speeds. European cab ride videos I've watched are smooth as glass at any speed.

Can you do a shorelines cab ride POV

I could hear the wind. Train doesn’t seem to have very good aerodynamics.

I found your channel with the sounder pov and now the FrontRunner I would to see the northstar if that's possible thanks
