      Airport Trams At Tampa International Airport & Boxcar Train In Florida, Airport Train Ride, Tampa Fl

      Complete ride on the new tram at Tampa International Airport. Also, a boxcar train in Plant City, Florida and an interesting view of Amtrak heading to Tampa. Also an aerial view of the old trams at the airport passing each other as they go over the highway and go into the building. The newer trams at the airport were installed a couple years ago. I made a video of them right after they opened. The boxcar train in this video is a local freight westbound on the A Line ( Atlantic Coast Line Railroad ). The Amtrak train is running very late on its way to Tampa. Thanks for watching! Please Watch Another JawTooth Video!
