    I like your narration Danny. Not being up to speed on all things "trains", I find it useful. Many rail fans don't talk and it leaves us wondering what we are watching. Having spent 30 years in the trucking industry and seeing all sorts of railroads, it is nice to learn about the backbone of this nation.

    Attended many of these, when we lived in Florida. We were 2 hours away---we made many friends, because of Folkston--regular visits, were common for us. Miss it and all our railroad buddies!!!!

    I don't live down by Folkston, but I do wish to get to experience this in person one day. Plenty of trains, wonderful people, and some of the best food there is I hear! It is always a joyous occasion when railfanners all come together for a day!

    As usual just about the best railfan video this year. the BEST is! "Engineers son realizes his dad is driving the train". After watching that one you may agree. If so you have a task this summer, to be number one again. Love ya Danny and I'm just having fun with ya. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

  • @gwilbur1
    @gwilbur1 3 роки тому

    I find it interesting that people like to watch trains...as a kid, I enjoyed watching them, but once during my teenage years, one of my friends was driving and pulled across a set of tracks in front of a very slow moving train. We may have been 50ft from the engine but when the engineer blew that horn it scared everyone in that car so badly that we were all ready to go home and change our clothes. I grew out of watching trains, then we took Amtrak from Chicago to Emeryville, CA...and an interest was reborn. Anyway, I enjoy your videos and enjoy your commentary. One thing that plagues UA-cam are videos that are produced without a lot of thought to what the presenter is going to say; it drives me crazy. Thankfully, you research your videos well, and you provide an intelligent narrative.

    This made me all warm and fuzzy inside. We need more communities like Folkston around the states. There are so many places to set up railfanning depots to hang out, tell stories and watch the trains. Hope growth of communities like this will continue! Thank you again for the video Danny!

    What a nice event! It’s nice to see many railfans young and old enjoying the trains together. I really liked how nobody was in each others direct shot and how everyone was able to successfully spread out. Wish I could say the same unison was present in events in California. Always an absolute pleasure whenever your content pops up on my subscription feed!

    Danny Harmon and Distant Dignal. It really good to see and to show that this railfanning is definitely multicultural. I wish I had known more about this when I was younger. But it wasn't till after I retired I took a serious interest in it. I would love to make it to Folkson one day maybe to the next Winterfest. I think it be worth it coming from Kentucky.
