My son and I love your videos. He is 2 years and very excited by trains. My father was a VP for the Long Island Railroad so I grew up around trains. You and I share a couple of things: I am a long time voice over guy and lived in FL from 1979 until 1994 when I moved to Prague in the Czech Republic. Later this week my son and I will visit the Czech Railway museum it a converted freight station and have a lot of old steam engines. More soon!
5:43 Seeing the Conductor standing at the open door reminded me of the backing move on December 8,1955 when we rode to NYC to catch the ocean liner that would take us to Barcelona, (all paid for by the USN) home port for the ship my father was stationed on. My brother and I made friends with the conductor, so he walked us to the back end, and we got to watch the train back all the way to the Tampa station. Really cool, and something I will never forget thanks to the kindness of the Conductor.
9:03 southern pacific bloody nose unit!!!!!!!!! AWESOME CATCH
Damn leasing companies
Not only that, but it's a tunnel motor!
Tunnel Motor in FLORIDA of all places. Does Florida even have train tunnels?
Amtrak SC-44 Fan 2105 *SD45T-2
Awesome video, Danny! Those leasers are what made CSX really awesome back then, leaving one not certain what power a train would have. The Central Florida area is always my favorite; with all that backcountry and wide open terrain.
Great Job, Danny, always enjoy the video's. Hope we can get back to seeing a surge in rail traffic again.

Awesome one, Danny. Props for being able to recall all this info you used for the narration, as well as keeping all that footage around. This made for an incredible comp.
Hi, you are extremely informative. Thank you for your hard work on all you do.
I love mismatched power. Thanks for posting.
Nice selection. Nice variety. Interesting. Nothing too long. Humor right up there with drone shots. Thanks
Great video once again Danny. Thanks for all your hard work in making these videos.
Great video Danny! Very interesting footage especially with the Amtrak re-routes and all the different foreign/leaser power over the years.
Thanks very much!
Excellent as always Danny! Thanks for sharing this special treat with us and it take me back to when I was about 7 or 8. Thanks for sharing this special treat, please keep them coming.
I am sure it was a mistake but the Amtrak Engineer's name is Matt Rider. Thanks for giving me something to use when I see him next time.
Thumbs Up!
That is one really clean SP unit at 9:00, Nice video, it is nice to see some of the older videos. 2 Thumps up!!
Another cool video. So many awesome trains. Thanks Danny 👍👍👍❤️
Is there an official term for the pounding heard at 4:12?
There's an NRG coal energy plant near me, which means PLENTY of coal hoppers going by. I hear this all the time and I love it!
flatspots
I always do my railfanning on the weekends at the airport the great state of Minnesota another great video you would know what 6 years old keep up the great work young man great legacy on UA-cam
@ollieahokas Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Danny you are the best, I have been watching your videos all night, you make them so interesting, you also include buildings, signals and old signs, great work.
One of my favorite locomotives it's like that Southern Pacific st45 I think it's what you think saw but it's a t motor for the titles my favorites are Rio Grande St 40 - 2T with a double headlights there's so cool looking I saw them at the end of their operation when I was a kid
Austin Glines those are indeed super cool. SD45T-2 is the model number. Best, J
Nice EX Conrail at 6:47!
I just thought I was quietly crazy but I guess we do have favorites. I can't decide which I like best, the G. E. Dash 7s or the EMD SW1500s, MP15AC or MP15DC. I like the Dash 7s for the shear power and the EMDs for their open faced cabs behind the power generator. I always thought was neat the way the EMDs would run cab forward as they worked local industries. Ironically as seems only 25% of the freight that CSX moves through the city stays in the city. The city planners are eyeing the property that CSX has in the city. It seems that the powers that run the circus want to run every industry out of town. They would like to see CSX move east of the city into the Wilson/840 corridor. I'm concerned that they'll just keep on going resigning Radnor Yards to the history bins.
Great video sir...I love all the foreign and leased power there towards the end...very well maintained dash 7 there...good to see it going down the tracks still
Whoa, a “bloody-nose” SP unit! Wasn’t expecting to see that!
TUS is close to a restaurant called "Columbia." Try it out when your in Tampa, Danny. There's a great salad called the 1905. Delicious. Also, Conrail isn't foreign power for CSX, or NS. They are FORMER units.
Danny, this was an oldy but a goody. 5 days shy of being 5 years old!
One of my favorites!
Great video's, I truly enjoy watching them.
Hey Danny. Did you ever get any footage of the sunset limited before it stopped service in Florida or have not gone back far enough?
I really like your videos especially the signals and their aspects I hope you make plenty of more
Scott
timothy sellers Thanks very much. I'm making a new one now.
Love those ex-D&H nee Reading GP39-2s!
Another winner Danny, great stuff as always!
Great catch.
Hi Danny when I was a kid I got to ride the Amtrak to Washington State over Donner Pass on the way back home on the train by the volcano Mount Shasta observation car had all cracked axle warning and it was the car right in front of me it was cool I was 12 years old and I told everybody what was going on after I asked the conductor what was up and it was a pretty interesting experience to be on the train and have that happen oh yeah it was dark at the time really early in the morning 3 a.m. when they had to cut the car off betrayed peace out Daddy have a great day
AM a big fan of your work, great videos.
Thanks Russ!!
Sweet shot at the Manatee River with the EX Reading GP39-2's. CSX is lucky to have those locos they are great, they have all 20 built 4 the reading company in 1974.
It’s a shame that lease power has just magically disappeared as well as all the older csx power like sd50’s sd60’s c40-8’s etc
4:25: Am I blind or are there tracks in the platform
At Tampa (Union Station, with Switches on both ends, and is it active usable track there?
nice vid Danny i always look foward to one of ur vids & nice meeting u at railwatch 2010
wow! another fantastic video Danny.
As always Mr. Harmon, 5 Stars. Let's just hope it all comes back so strong we wont want to shoot the leasers or foreign power either....
Would you recommend spring is a good time for rail fanning and south in Sanford in the Jacksonville area because my dad and I are planning a trip and it’s looking like it’s going to be spring before we can make it
Awesome stuff! I really enjoy the narration of the video! Thumbs up!
Nice collection Danny!
Alex
Nice retro locos in this one
Very nice Danny!
That's interesting that CSX kept all of those leasers around. They were on almost every consist lashed up with a ge or an SD40-2. They must have made for some pretty colorful lash ups though.
Nice job.
I just purchased your Jacksonville DVD from Whistlin' Dixie. Very good job on it, well worth the $20
you should be glad you filmed that 1 train at 6:46 the engine leading the train is a now rare C39-8, none of which operate in the USA anymore
How long have you been railfanning? Or did you work for the railroads? Just wondering because you are so smart when it comes to knowing about the different locomotives.
Gary Plastek Long, LONG years of railfanning. Never worked for a railroad. I try to read a lot of rail operations. Thanks very much for your comments.
This answered my question too! Love your videos and your intelligent information!
awesome video
2:08 I LOVE that horn!!!
Gosh, you must have a vault of old videos. Just how long have you been railfanning?
Great footage Danny
I always thought that Tampa never has any trains passing through back when I was there. Boy was i way wrong! i just needed to get out more then...
Excellent video!
Looking good as always, any plans to do another Circus train type video (just more up-to-date)? Just curious, thats what got me looking at your stuff!
Danny did you ever find out what caused the derailment at the Amtrak train station in 2004 ?
Very awesome video indeed!
Probably the ones you said were the cleanest ones you seen. They probably had a little TLC at Washington Terminal before running train 19 to where its destination is. After that number of train turns to 91
Wonderful i loved the rare setting you should do some up here in Seminole County.
Awesome job Dano! But what was that 2nd locomotive on the last train in Bushnell? I couldn't quite make out the name on the side.
You like the Dash 7 if I heard correct, my personal favorite has always been the EMD SD 40-2. Something about the long "porches" on them.
Also keep up the nice videos
+bigunatwork Yeah I know what you mean. I think it's just the first stuff you see when you start railfanning. First mainline piggyback train I ever saw had three Dash-7's pulling. It was a crazy sensation.
Hey Danny, do you have any other video from 2004 that feature re-routes on the S-Line due to hurricane Charlie?
I have one called "Now & Then Part2" that shows a re-route of 188 up the Vitis side in August 04. That was when he used to go to Taft and then Jax. But that's all I've got.
+Distant Signal Thanks. Main reason I asked was because Amtrak 98 detoured up the S-Line yesterday, something they haven't done since 2004. I hope you was able to catch him on video.
Thanks Colin. Yes, I followed that re-route on Facebook. Wish I'd have known an hour earlier. Was already into something else in Tampa.
+Distant Signal Your welcome, even I was unaware of this reroute myself.
Great Job!
@distantsignal Danny, do you know why that amtrak sm on the vitus had 2 lounges?
What happened to the amazing horns those Amtrak units once wielded?
classic footage Danny Horman my man, this is Andy Bowe your video's keep me coming back for more, where can I get your awsome dvd's?
Nice RS3L on CSX 7345!
wish we could turn back the time to the good old days when the mama sang us to sleep now we're stressed out...
Miss the Southern Pacific.
Why are some of the CSX cab roofs painted white ?
I envy you. I hardly get time to do this!
1:48 anyone notice an X conrailn locomotive on the consist cause thats got to be RARE
They back into New Orleans and Denver as well.
5:18 interesting i would have thought is you were going to use two locos that you would put one at each end instead of together that way of you have a broken coupling or etc you could split the train and still move both sections not to mention not having to run around the train at the end of a run
9:30 What railroad is that and what kind of engine is that? (BTW great video! I hope you get a video of a steam engine soon!)
Its a leasing company and the engine is a C30-7
great video!
WHAT RAILROAD WAS THAT AT 9 32 NEVER SEEN A UNIT LIKE THAT B4
Palmetto with no Diner or sleepers?
One of my biggest complaints about CSX is the fact that they have so many MP1500's up in Montcrief but none in Taft, Wildwood, Tampa and other places, I'd trade all the units in Taft for 1 Mp1500, they're one of my favorite engines. I never get to see them on trains south of Jacksonville but they're always going back and forth from waycross.
Then visit the Bowden and Moncrief yard! It's only a one hour and thirty minute drive.
That's because the engines in Taft need to be able to go as far North as Sanford and as far south as Poinciana to work. They don't just switch the yard, they also service customers in the various parks and along the mainline.
@murjax 25 years. 15 of them with a video camera
DH
Leasing era
At 4:22, that's actually Matt Ryder, not Rinhert
Whats freezing in Florida 50f? How you doing from Appleton Wisconsin Uncle Eddie OUT
Texan here, transplanted from New Hampshire, and I second that question lol
Looked like the palmetto turned into northeast regional train and whats FURX and HLCX?
Anita B The Palmetto still runs from Savannah to NYC.
Anita B FURX and HLCX are leasing companies HLCX stands for Helm Leasing Company
Did young guys see a Chessie system hopper! It’s at (9:25 by the way)
@pengapop12 Nope. Nothing that old.
Dogs breakfast 🤣
I thought this would be a "power move".
2:33 that happened again this year because of a derailment
5:01 why did both of the locos have there bell on?
Extra safety isn’t a bad thing...
Also thanks for ending your broadcasts with "out". You don't known how bad it bugs me to hear people end a communiqué with " over and out". The only time that has ever been used was by Hollywood and even then it was considered improper use of the radio net. So thanks for using proper terminology in that regard. I think for the people that use it, it must sound cool. To all of us who know better we just want to scream.
At 3:40 Shave And A Haircut Two Bits By Amtrak 91
Love 4:41
WOW great video to bad you had to ruin it by showing Matt Reinert, Just kidding hes a good guy.
91s crew said 98
Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way.
Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out. Look for signs that you are living righteously. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible etc. These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!
You had toooooo much koolaid
Do conductors still yell "All aboard!" or "Booooard!" these days?
I think some still do.
Great video once again Danny. Thank you for all your hard work to make these videos.
