Notice the lack of TOD around the stations. If Nashville ever wants to seriously consider becoming more transit-friendly (especially if gas prices get too high and traffic continues to worsen, the least they can do is make out the most of what they have now like its southern peers Charlotte and Austin. Mt. Juliet could easily be a self-contained satellite downtown for instance. It aspires to function like a RER/German S-Bahn, but other things like weekend service would help as well. It still nice for what it has to offer at this point, but the potential is just so far beyond what many believe can happen.

Mike, i have a question I'm hoping you can answer. I lived in Nashville from 1962-1971, and my family lived near the L&N switching yards. I know the L&N went bankrupt, but I was always curious if anybody replaced the L&N. My guess would be CSX, but I am not sure. Oh, and in the video, I got a smile to see the Mount Juliet Station, as at one time my dad worked in Mount Juliet.

When you think of Nashville people really should think this: parking lot. I think 40% of the city is actually parking. I don-t know how any developer would ever consider building another new skyscraper, not only for the added parking spaces needed but for the increase in traffic. Nashville will never grow to be a world city in a situation like this.

From everything I've researched and watched, this seems to be a very well-thought-out little operation. Is the F40 overkill, yes. But it's easy work for them. And if the city wants longer trains eventually, they can easily handle it. Can the planners of this system please come to Austin and tell our Metrorail folks how it's really done?

I rode this train to work today. I gotta say, I was amazed by the sheer power pulling just three cars of barely-motivated workers of the world. The F40PH does, however, have a way of making you feel like you can do anything. I just wish I could carry that energy through the entirety of my workday in the way the Music City Star carried me.

Great video! The busiest time of day for the train is early mornings and late afternoon for bringing people from small towns outside of nashville into downtown Nashville for work. I rode this train mid day and we had a car to ourselves. The Music City star is debating to expand to a few more towns.

I can tell this train is an old Metra train from Chicago. I'm from Chicago and now live on the West Coast. They got commuter trains like this in California.

better get more people to ride, you cannot make a go of it with only two cars. On Caltrain the usual train is five cars and they are usually pretty full.
