Posted by Jon Bell on Thu Jun 3 23:33:49 2010, in response to PHOTOS: Jon's Juice Junket, part 1 - New Orleans, posted by Jon Bell on Sun May 16 00:21:04 2010. No, I didn't skip part 12. I'm reserving it for Memphis, when I get around to going through that batch. I was too tired to do anything with them when I got back to the motel last night, and tonight I need to go to bed early.I had planned to arrive in Lebanon, about 30 miles east of Nashville, in time to catch one of the two afternoon round trips of the Music City Star from Lebanon to Nashville and back. But going through Nashville, I got caught in a huge traffic jam on I-440, in which I took an hour to go three miles. (I timed it and watched the mile markers.) So when I finally got east of Nashville, it was too late to catch one of the inbound trains. I did drive past some of the stations and snapped an outbound train at the Hermitage station:  Tomorrow I'll try to get up early enough to ride one of the two morning round trips. One way or the other, I'll have some more pics tomorrow. An oddity: the ticket vending machines at the stations take only $5 and $20 bills, no coins, and no credit cards. They don't give any change, either. The single-trip on-the-spot fare from all stations except one is $5.00. $20 must get you four tickets. If you buy tickets in advance from off-station sales outlets, you save money, and the fare runs from $1.60 to $5.00 depending on how far you are from downtown Nashville. You can't buy tickets on the train, so the machine at Lebanon had better work for me tomorrow morning! |
