Rail faning in Nashville

Unread post by James Sofonia »

I plan to go to Nashville in a few weeks. We have some tickets to the Grand ole Opery to see some country shows, can anyone suggest some rail fan locations while I'm there?

Harding place off i65 exit 78 is my favorite place to go around Nashville. There's a waffle house and cracker barrel there for food. The bridge over the csx line there has a sidewalk on the north side and is a hundred yards or so from the hump. I used to know a lot of places when I lived down there but it's been a long time. I know there are some spots down town although I can't attest to how safe that area is these days. Another place we used to stop is exit 97 off 65 at the Hardee's. There's a bridge there I'd watch trains cross as a kid. Both locations have lodging. Radnor Yard is definitely my favorite spot though. If you go to my YouTube channel I have some videos taken from that bridge this spring when I was last there.
