I spent a Saturday in June railfanning the Florida S-Line. It was one of those "you get what you get" days. Saw some cool stuff. And then a week later, I got some REALLY cool stuff!
Distant Signal No Problem Danny, I just caught thoese engines (911 and 1776) yesturday in Ashland,VA on train W990-29 nd let me tell you the engines looked beautiful!
Danny, lot's of great catches. As a child (circa 1959+), I was always fascinated with Baldwin diamond and the Baldwin yard. Your drone videos are some of the best views around. Thanks.
The little things that catches our ears: late sixties, California Highway Patrol. "Quotas? We don't have quotas! We can write as many damn tickets as we want!" Love your vids.
Good news to HO Scale modelers CSX 911-1776-3194 are now out from Scale Trains as of this Year 2021. Special Thanks to you Danny for your videos and your voice work on Herron Rail Videos. THANKS AGAIN.
The tribute engines were absolutely gorgeous. CSX should be commended for their commitment to these groups (First Responders and Veterans). BTW: I thought the fogged lens gave a cool effect with the train light haloed in the late evening light.
Just noticed the 343 in the white stripe on 911 honoring the fallen heroes of F.D.N.Y. My lifelong friend Dennis S. of Haz Mat 1 among them. Rest well Dennis and your fellow Heroes, Thanks Danny for sharing video of this special unit.
Nice catch! 911 and 1776 look good together. At a time when there appears to be much division within America, it is nice to see something that unites us all, reminds us of who we are and makes us proud as a nation. Thank you CSX! Plate C
Nice of CSX to have alerted railfans to see 911 and 1776 and record them. My family has numerous members either veterans or active duty military (Marines, Navy, Army) and had neighbors and coworkers in the local police department or be volunteer fire fighters/EMTs. And that station in Ocala is a perfect railfan spot
My family has been serving for 6 Generations now in the Military, and 3 of My uncles were firefighters so it's safe to say I have a soft spot for them. Not to mention a number of My friends are Gold Star Family members, sadly....so that Gold Star flag on the engine kinda gets ya in the feels....
It is always great watching these videos, sometimes multiple times. I remember seeing the 911 and 1776 up in Spencer NC that same year 2019. It was at their Annual Fire Truck Festival at the North Carolina Transportation Museum.
I was just up 301 this week with a stop At Baldwin. I was parked by the post office when UA-camr pulled up to video a move coming north from the yard then pushing back east as the diamond has now been removed. Thanks for all your excellent posts!
Didn't even know 911 & 1776 were down here until I checked Heritage units, but I was on vacation close by and was too late. Great video Danny, keep it up!
Great video Danny. Going to see these two units at the North Carolina Transportation Museum this Saturday (6-22) . Along with the NS 911 unit for their Fire Truck Festival.
"You can't let your camera get cold with your AC blowing on it in the summer time" Also guilty, I found that out in Texas a couple weeks ago-gotta keep the glass warmer than the dew point. Great catch on the 911 & 1776!
Danny, I think the best compliment I can give you is that when I'm watching your videos it like relaxing and watch Sunday Morning on CBS. You remind me of Charles Osgood. Always a great professional presentation. They would be wise to put you under contract.
dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last few months xD
Danny, my wife and I drove down from S.C. to Tampa last week to catch a cruise ship and we hopped off I-10 onto 301 at Baldwin and drove through Starke and Waldo on our shortcut to I-75. We saw one CSX rolling through Waldo. It all looked so familiar from watching watching your videos. Keep ‘em coming!
Great video. Really like the 911 & 1776. I also like your willingness to show your mistakes - missed trains & foggy lens - it happens to everyone, but you were willing to put it out there.
Danny, you do such a good job with these videos. You have one hell of a "voice over" voice, is your background in broadcasting?. Your narration is not only informative but very professional. Stay safe out there.
Another GREAT video, Danny! You may already know, but the caboose at Waldo, FL, is former SCL M5 0979, it was marked with that number on the undreframe at one time. The caboose was never SAL, I guess somebody at Waldo wanted a SAL cab. Please keep these videos coming, I enjoy them very much!
Watching this 2 years later, I am not sure if I saw this video before, but as usual, I enjoy your videos, & this one was a little more special, with 911 & 1776. See you out there on the High Iron.
Excellent video with fantastic catches Danny ! I missed the 911 & 1776 yesterday as it came up to DC but hopefully I’ll catch them within the next few days. I always enjoy watching your videos, they are so informative. I learn something each time I watch them. Thanks for your wonderful views and commentary you always give. Happy Rails To You :-))
#911-perfect for the Leslie horn! And the “puppet show” wasn’t that bad either for the first 046 train we saw... and as always sir thank you and keep em coming while keeping yourself hydrated and comfortable after the chases you do in those tropical temperatures....
Nice to see the Tropicana refers toward the end, I used to see solid blocks of TROPICANA cars on the SP before the UPRR merger, now it appears BNSF handles most Tropicana refers and refrigerated containers Westbound in Texas. Cheers from Deer Park Tx. 🤠
Thanks Danny for another great video. I missed the CSX 911 and 1776 when they headed South past Chattanooga last week, but thanks to "AC4400CWProductions" for mentioning that these units were headed over to Spenser NC for their annual Fire Truck Show at the NC Transportation Museum. I'll be headed to NC when I get-off shift at the Fire Station Friday morning. The NS 911 unit will also be there and according to their website they will have a special night shoot on Friday night before the show on Saturday.
Autorack trains have been my favorite thing to railfan as they have all sorts of history. To see SP mated to a Cotton Belt rack is as rare as they get.
Passed through Florida the other day, and I kept seeing something that was familiar but I couldn't place it. Then I realized that your logo is the Florida state highway sign, nice touch. Love the channel. Also, back in the day when I was in video, I did a lot of shooting in the winter. Before coming inside I would put my camera in a ziploc bag to prevent condensation from forming while it warmed up. Not sure if it works in the opposite direction, but your humidity woes reminded me of that.
Another great video Danny! It was pleasure to finally meet you on as you say "the high iron", hopefully I'll bump into you again maybe in Jax next year for the Train show! Anyway I love those 2 engines and my video will be up in the coming days. I guess ill see you out there!
I just happened onto this video and decided to check it out. Very nicely done sir, you convinced me … I've subscribed. I hadn't seen the Tribute units before, they are beautiful and I don't think the Army or Marines could do the digicam on #1776 any better.
Excellent video! Up in Ohio we had a town that was so bad with speed traps the state government unincorporated the town. Great catch on the 911 & 1776, they went down my track but I was at work :(
Sorry I missed all you guys out there... I wanted to catch those engines as well, but I had to beat feet home by the time QO46 was heading out... Shout out to Matt Bryant and Mike Walsh for keeping us all posted on the Florida Railfanning FB page... You guys rock!!! You too Danny!!!! ...
Those beautiful engines ... came right by the end of my street on the way down, but I would have been working that evening. One of these times ... maybe on the next trip ... I'll be there to catch those beauties. I am so glad to see CSX finally doing something like this! Very well-done video as always, Danny!
Weird to hear other railroads call out every signal where as on the UP we only call an approach or less favorable (Stop, Restricting, Diverging Approach, Approach Restricting). Great video.
Okay, I'd like to make a few points here: 1.) K-476 was hot-footing it when it came through. 2.) Yeah. Sharp-looking engines alright. Not as sexy (pardon my French) as the dash 2, but it's decent. 3.) CSX commemorative locomotives? WOW! And yeah, Danny, I was impressed by 1776's digital camo too. Must've taken the painters quite a long time, though, and I salute them for that.
Now, CSX 911 and 1776.....as a veteran and retired police officer, I argue they are the coolest and best looking machines on ANY night, anywhere!
I like how you include stuff other then railfanning, such as peanuts lol
You have to add attractions to give interest.
When I see peanut stands on the side of the road (especially boiled) it's a must to stop!
Yes Mibo
I'm hungry for a snack now
Never heard of boiled peanuts until I visited my cousin in Tampa. Pretty good.
I was just looking for good train videos then this popped up! Night made!!
We also get peanuts from that place!!
As a former 1st responder I thank CSX for honoring are fallen 1st responders and are fallen soldiers
Whenerver Danny uploads it always brings a smile to my face 😁.
Ha!!!! Thanks Anthony!
Same here!
Distant Signal No Problem Danny, I just caught thoese engines (911 and 1776) yesturday in Ashland,VA on train W990-29 nd let me tell you the engines looked beautiful!
@@anthonystrains1672 nice, caught the same one the day prior. Definitely was cool to see!
Captain Justice yeah they looked absolutely stunning.
Great catch of those "Honoring" locomotives. Thanks. I also like those SD40-3's. You could hold a barbecue on that back porch. Jon
My pa did that when he worked for the WSOR (the barbeque thing)
Can't believe CSX actually did a tribute locomotive. Now if BNSF can follow suite.
Happy weekend 😆
Hi
@@railfanner3764 hi!
You too!!... oh... it’s a weekday... 😂

Now this is the “classic” type of videos including rain.
#911 and #1776 are gorgeous----wish I could have seen them in Richmond on the way to NJ.
Love those special paint jobs. I like the meaning of them. UP has engines that have special paint, as well. Thanks for the video.
The tribute engines were absolutely gorgeous. CSX should be commended for their commitment to these groups (First Responders and Veterans). BTW: I thought the fogged lens gave a cool effect with the train light haloed in the late evening light.
I actually caught CSX 911 leading N758 a month ago. I LOVE the horn it had. I was so happy to catch my 1st CSX heritage unit in action.
I bet the train crew of csx 911 give you a good old horn show and a wave
Those CSX heritages were really sexy! Saw them last weekend at FPRRD!
Just noticed the 343 in the white stripe on 911 honoring the fallen heroes of F.D.N.Y. My lifelong friend Dennis S. of Haz Mat 1 among them. Rest well Dennis and your fellow Heroes, Thanks Danny for sharing video of this special unit.

Theres also one eith a blue paint scheme honoring first responders. Its more of a police style loco. I forget its number tho

Proud to be apart of that ethanol production here in central Illinois. Thanks for sharing your videos are awesome!
Danny amazing video professionally put together and perfect sound quality thanks loved it from all the way here in Scotland.
That RS5T on CSX 911 is an awesome option for the unit.
Nice work CSX!!!👍👍👍
Great video Danny. Going to see these two units at the North Carolina Transportation Museum this Saturday (6-22) . Along with the NS 911 unit for their Fire Truck Festival.
I watch these on my TV, big screen, big sound, great!
We had 911 and 1776 in Chicago and I agree that they are beautiful units! Very nice you got to see them too :)
TWIGYBNSF I was in Chicago to see them also. It was amazing
Another great video, Danny. I don't remember ever seeing a SD40-3. Good catch!
"You can't let your camera get cold with your AC blowing on it in the summer time" Also guilty, I found that out in Texas a couple weeks ago-gotta keep the glass warmer than the dew point. Great catch on the 911 & 1776!
Central Penn Rail Productions They are very popular units to see. I am hoping to see them soon this year.
Danny,
I think the best compliment I can give you is that when I'm watching your videos it like relaxing and watch Sunday Morning on CBS. You remind me of Charles Osgood. Always a great professional presentation. They would be wise to put you under contract.
That fogged lens effect with the lights was really "cool" ... I liked it 👍
The hype was real when the duo came by FL for 2 days!
JaxRailfanner indeed it was!
Awesome video and I like your railfan friends! Live Action!
Woah jaw tooth
dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last few months xD
@Dash Diego Yup, I have been using instaflixxer for months myself =)
BRAVO DANNY ! That last train put a tear in my eyes.... Thank You So Much my friend.
SBF
Hi furry
Wonderful production, Danny. Always look forward to your videos!
Wow -- those locos are special !!
Danny, my wife and I drove down from S.C. to Tampa last week to catch a cruise ship and we hopped off I-10 onto 301 at Baldwin and drove through Starke and Waldo on our shortcut to I-75. We saw one CSX rolling through Waldo. It all looked so familiar from watching watching your videos. Keep ‘em coming!
Awesome video; especially the 911 and 1776. Thanks for sharing these beauties with me.
Great video, Danny! Had I not been in VA I’d likely have gone for the service duo.
Great video. Really like the 911 & 1776. I also like your willingness to show your mistakes - missed trains & foggy lens - it happens to everyone, but you were willing to put it out there.
It wouldn't be Florida without fogged up lenses when you get out of the car! Nice catch on the tribute units.
Danny, you do such a good job with these videos. You have one hell of a "voice over" voice, is your background in broadcasting?. Your narration is not only informative but very professional. Stay safe out there.
Mr. Danny you have unanswered question... Inquiring minds need to know...
Wow! Great stuff Danny. Thanks for that little gift at the end too. Outstanding!
Much appreciated, Ken
Awesome catches, awesome video, and congratulations!! Love your videos.
H I
Another GREAT video, Danny! You may already know, but the caboose at Waldo, FL, is former SCL M5 0979, it was marked with that number on the undreframe at one time. The caboose was never SAL, I guess somebody at Waldo wanted a SAL cab. Please keep these videos coming, I enjoy them very much!
Cool video! I do wish that Amtrak would bring a train like the Meteor to the S-Line so it can come back to its home route.
love the shots of 911 and 1776. Thank You for posting!!!
Watching this 2 years later, I am not sure if I saw this video before, but as usual, I enjoy your videos, & this one was a little more special, with 911 & 1776. See you out there on the High Iron.

@7:00 Wow! That "Cotton Belt" auto rack is a relic.
Autorack trains have been my favorite thing to railfan as they have all sorts of history. To see SP mated to a Cotton Belt rack is as rare as they get.
Awesome video! When they were in Baltimore at the B&O railway museum I got to touch both of them!

Stunning ! Awesome ! BRAVO to CSX ! And Bravo to you Danny !!!!
Many thanks!
Thank you Danny for what we don't get to see anymore without your talent. I crew called you for many years.
Very well done! Thanks for the extra effort in getting those tribute units.
WOW! thank u fer sharin those two engines at the end! what a treat!!! to have seen them in person must of been awesome!
Your videos are a treasure. Thank you for all that you do. Glad I found this channel.
Great Catches Danny! Thanks for sharing!!
As always another great video. Thanks for your time and dedication to the hobby.
You gotta love the K5hlar Doppler effects! Good stuff daddy!
Terrific video and CSX catches. Love your videos!
Awesome video and awesome catches of the #911 and #1776 together, Danny. Please keep me posted if those engines head up my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed seeing these units when they passed through New Castle, PA.
Great video Danny, Always so professional. Thanks for sharing.
They could have run engines 3 & 4 through a wash! Great stuff Danny!
Excellent video! Up in Ohio we had a town that was so bad with speed traps the state government unincorporated the town. Great catch on the 911 & 1776, they went down my track but I was at work :(
Noticed the Cotton Belt autorack! Very cool catches!
Wonderful job Danny and another benchmark production. Thank you for your dedication and providing enjoyment to all of us who can’t be there with you.
911 & 1776 are just beautiful engines
Great video 👌. Don't trip. The video gave a cool effect with the lights.
Hey Danny it's been a minute love that honoring our veterans digital camouflage you doing it very beautiful your true newest railfan Sal Guzman 😄😄😁☺
Thanks Sal!
I enjoyed this video thoroughly! Thank you.
3:41 I just noticed the Headlight is off on the leader.
Great catch
That happens when a train apouch you
Sorry I missed all you guys out there... I wanted to catch those engines as well, but I had to beat feet home by the time QO46 was heading out... Shout out to Matt Bryant and Mike Walsh for keeping us all posted on the Florida Railfanning FB page... You guys rock!!! You too Danny!!!! ...
always happy to keep yall posted when i can!
As a first responder those are really neat locomotives to see glad you could see them in person
Dam you do great stuff everything is dan bell quality love it
Great video Danny! They’re definitely great looking units, I was fortunate enough to see them as well.
Danny that was a really cool video. All those trains plus that grand finale. I loved it. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
Great video. Especially that last train.
Nobody does it better Danny. Thank you for all your hard work and excellent content. As always... 😊👍👍
