Any Hot Spot in Nashville?

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I am new. We live in Cleveland, OH and are going to Nashville next week. I was wondering, because I do not think there are any hot spots listed in the Hot Spot book in the Nashville area, if just might be a location where a few trains pass durig the day.
thanks,
gary

The L&N/CSX lines are very busy. Radnor yard is the hub of the system.
It's a bit early to ride the Music City Star commuter train from Nashville to Lebanon.

The good news is gas prices are going down. Prices peaked just under $3.00. Use gasbuddy,com to find $2.60 gas!

The failure of trains "hot spots" here may be due to a poor location to watch trains from. TN is a hilly, curvy state. You would need a good scanner to know if a train is coming near yur location. I suspect most rains from the north bypass the downtown bridge. You could try Bicentennial Mall park There's some switching, mostly newsprint for the Tennessean.

The hottest part is the Grand Old Opry. Get a ticket and enjoy!

When I was there last year the station opposite the Holiday Inn was fairly busy.
