Just wanted to let you know I appreciated the shout out you gave to Mike and virtual rail fan. Between the two of you you're my inner pease through these stressful times I'm having. Cheers to the both of you and I can't wait for more to come!
Man, those locomotives get around...i remember back when 4017 on that road train use to be the regular engine on the local i see out of Lansing Michigan a year ago or so
I work for the railroad contractor that unloads all of BNs Autoracks. It's fun and it's hard but I enjoy it because I get to work with the railroad and see some interesting manifest. Great video hope you have a good day
Thanks for taking us along with you once again, Danny. And as always, you've got fabulous production quality with great audio. And thanks for setting a good example by pointing out and obeying the no-fly zone for drones. As a pilot I appreciate that.
Danny, once again (as always) wonderful video with much description / narration. Not too much mind --- just the right amount of info. Also, it was nice of you to give Virtual Railfan (aka V/R) a nice plug. Danny, you make every video with class...because you are a man with class.
I totally agree. There is always a clown in the crowd that has to say something negative. When everything about this video and Danny Hartman is class a. Mr. Bill CNW From Villa Park Illinois
I know, it’;s sad to see that. These videos are different then the majority and useful in informative about things. Most laymen like myself are not understand about the RR world can always use his information.
I've gotten more done in the last few days than I did during the entire previous month. Having dewpoints in the 60s rather than mid 70s to mid 80s (and higher) is a real positive change! BTW- I remember the "Market"... often flew out of Plant City airport, and had some customers in that area.
Thanks, Danny, for another fantastic train video. Your informative comments during the video, really make watching and listening to your videos, really nice! Thank you.
Sorry some how I printed it before finishing, but I was talk about your shout out the guys doing the live video feed from the diamond and you were showing the camera and microphone on the building. And you talked about a new diamond dyeing installed and they showed it being done from start to finish in less than a day and they had trains going over it. It was shown from the other side of the tracks from the building but I can't remember I don't think it was you but the guys you gave the shout out to. You are a true rail fan my friend and a person can tell your love of trains from your videos! I'll bet you loved them as a little boy as I was having lived near two railroads we grew up playing on and around the tracks all the time!
Just let you know, Not all Reefers are loaded and running. Sometimes they can be empty and running, as It is a requirement of the producer, to have the on-route rail-car at a Preset Temperature long before loading can begin. So from the time they pickup the car, fill the fuel tanks and fire up the reefer engines, and set the temperature, to the Producers Request. It is that time frame, that is required by then to load. You are correct, as it can still be loaded on-route to be unloaded. But, the reasoning behind it, is that it take time to bring the inside temperatures down to the required Temperature needed too load. And I think you can understand why. Great video, I enjoy them from up here in Ontario Canada.
Great work Dan The Man. Thanks for giving the shout out to the Virtual Railfan world. As always, nothing but the best videos and commentations. Still think CSX should offer you a cab ride.
Caught you twice tonight, Danny, once in Atlanta where i lived a block from Inman Yard and then here on the line near Vitis Jct Enjoy every minute of your efforts because you're right in my neighborhood most every time. Living in St Augustine I only get he FEC traffic twice a day, and being housebound leaves me by the computer every time.. Keep it up !
Hey Danny, you have a fabulous channel, I am a subscriber and watch every chance I get. Thank you for the detail, it makes watching interesting. Have a great one and see me again, out!
@phillyslasher It'll take another 60+ years to see if the GEVO has the same endurance as the venerable old Geeps, but I am glad to see GE struggle to come out on top. It's been a long hard road for them. Now, if they didn't all look alike, like the 40 series of old. :D
phillyslasher GEVOs are better railroading locomotives, more fuel efficient and better haulage. I myself love seeing EMD just because they aren’t as common any more with GE making better locos. Also I love the K5LLA on SD70ACes. But for RR employees GEVOs ride better.
Awesome video good to see you making a new rail fan video thank God and Jesus the thing hurricane didn't make it your way glad to see you're okay peace out into the world have a great day
8:14 Red over flashing green = LIMITED CLEAR. It means proceed at limited speed through turnouts, crossovers, sidings, and over power operated switches; then proceed at posted speed according to CSX rules.
The nice thing about the Virtual Railfan camera at Plant City is that it keeps 12 hours of video, so it is possible to scroll back until a train is spotted in the little preview window. I saw two freights headed north, the Amtrak headed into Tampa, and a second freight turning from south to east on the curve.
Great video and catches! Love seeing all of those older EMDs leading. Up here on the S&NA North, it feels like just about every train has a GEVO leading due to the large number of trains around here that require DPUs these days...
I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. You do some amazing work. I would love to see you make a video of Amtrak's AutoTrain crossing all kinds of bridges and at speed. I am a big AutoTrain fan and I hope I just gave you an idea for a future video. Keep it up.
Another great video! That Q452 you saw was actually an X452. It came out of Palm Center and had all sorts of engine problems. #8441 lead the train all the way up the Auburndale. The two lead motors were added at Winston.
From one of Danny's latest videos, they aren't afraid of using a 70-ACE with wet paint either. In this new age of railroading an engine is just an engine and we use whatever will turn the wheels.
@phillyslasher what problem do they not have in Florida? If you're referring to grades you have never been to Florida nor have you seen the trackage from an engineer's standpoint. When was the last time you ran an SD40? Asking for a friend...
That Q452 was actually X452 as heard on the scanner, basically was the old Q251 yes. A782 is still a local, not a shuttle and on Saturdays serves customers between Wildwood and Zephyrhills on the S-line, with that Covered Hopper between the rock cuts likely going to either Cal-Maine Bushnell or Cal-Maine Zephyrhills.
Awesome clip, Danny. Some of the best drone footage I've ever seen, particularly the morning shots, where the early fall light is so beautiful, and the rising shots of incoming trains. I'll be watching this one a few more times for sure. Thanks so much for shooting, editing, and sharing!
It makes me want to go to the tracks when you upload! I had a 4 train Sunday! 1 eastbound, 3 westbound! Awesome video Danny! Brings a smile to me when you upload! That 825.9 detector sounded just like that one at stokes! And I got my first Limited Clear! I even caught the switch reverse on camera! You did see engine 5458 before at coleman
Hey Mr. Danny as Always Great Video a little on the Short side but we don't want anyone getting to Hot our Weather here in Ks has Been a Mixed Bag sometimes I dont think it knows what it wants to do & Hope to see more of your Videos.. From the D.M.R.R Allen D. Out.. 🚂🚂🚂
So many standard cab EMDs in one video! Its great! I am sick of all GEs all the time, which is what I usually see on my local class 1. Man do I miss the sound of EMD prime movers. Great video Distant Signal.
Love your vids, never knew there was some much CSX action in Florida. Been to the Plant City diamond, cool place. Heading back to visit soon. Bringing the scanner this time to monitor the road traffic and hope to see some more action in the Tampa, Plant City area. Skol! Ron//
This is how good your sound quality is: I'm watching one of your earlier videos when a train passes, blowing its horn - & my nephew thinks it was a train passing through our neighborhood(we have a 2 track crossing within walking distance of our place). He says: "Wow, that guy's got a great microphone - I thought that train was here."
Another well crafted video as usual. A tidbit of info at the 2:15. An absolute signal displaying "Stop" can be passed without Dispatcher permission. This can only be done for a signal like Market where there is no power operated switch involved (or diamond for that matter), and for the single purpose of coupling back to your train immediately on the other side of it. You must first stop at the signal, then you can proceed by at restricted speed to couple to your train. Cheers.
Wow! I knew there were some special rules about passing a holdout signal, but I never knew, even for switching, purposes that you could pass a red absolute with out dispatcher permission. Thanks Chris!
Here in Eugene, Oregon, we only have a few diamonds....lol all of which are dated back to the turn of the 20th century!!! Due to the mountainous terrain as well as overall history of the region, it is extremely hard to find rails that cross each other’s paths; let alone two ctc-protected main-lines crossing like that.
At 8:14 if it had been anyone else but Danny I would have assumed they made this clip after the train had passed. Danny knows his trains, probably better than some dispatchers even.
That's funny I plugged your channel distant Signal with Danny Harmon just last night on Virtual railfan LaPlata rail cam. and today you plugged on of theirs. I was wondering I the hurricane had effected you where you're at. btw I told my little buddy Abel games about your channel he loves trains he's 9 years old and he is a fellow Floridian.
My Saturday morning yesterday, catching Q438 and Q316 both with CSX Safety Train cars (for either safety practice or storage) and P099 with Amtrak’s 184 heritage unit leading the south bound train to Newport News VA. Where they would later turn it around and bring it back up as (possibly) P096
Hey Danny, just watched your latest vid. Excellently done as usual. I don’t get a chance to comment usually because I stream UA-cam to my Roku and watch on TV. So just checking in to say hello and to say how much I enjoy your videos. Of course my wife thinks I’m nuts watching train videos but as they say, “If I have to explain, you wouldn’t understand! 😃
Just wanted to let you know I appreciated the shout out you gave to Mike and virtual rail fan. Between the two of you you're my inner pease through these stressful times I'm having. Cheers to the both of you and I can't wait for more to come!
Thanks very much Lee. Glad to be of any help. Hope your stresses end soon.
Thumbs up for SD40-2's!!!
Love those old horses. The greatest locomotives on rails period!
true dude
Great Video Danny!
Man, those locomotives get around...i remember back when 4017 on that road train use to be the regular engine on the local i see out of Lansing Michigan a year ago or so
Why in the world would someone not like this video? All of Danny's videos are awesome!
I am 62 years old and new rail fanning. Thanks for the great commentary on your videos
Welcome to an immense, fascinating, and constantly evolving hobby!
They’re Loud, fast and Dangerous, what’s Not to like about that??
I work for the railroad contractor that unloads all of BNs Autoracks. It's fun and it's hard but I enjoy it because I get to work with the railroad and see some interesting manifest.
Great video hope you have a good day

AWESOME GOOD VIDEO GREAT VIDEO AND CATCH DOWN IN FLORIDA THANK YOU DANNY FOR YOUR VIDEO AND TIME. I APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR EFFORTS. THANK YOU AGAIN

who gives this video a thumbs down? its a ten
I totally agree. There is always a clown in the crowd that has to say something negative. When everything about this video and Danny Hartman is class a.
Mr. Bill CNW From Villa Park Illinois
No kidding he is a natural.
People will downvote anything. I've seen downvotes on Mr. Rogers videos. Can't figure people sometimes.
I know, it’;s sad to see that. These videos are different then the majority and useful in informative about things.
Most laymen like myself are not understand about the RR world can always use his information.
Probably soCal foamers because theres no caltrain or UP SD70ACEs
Dan, you do a terrific job presenting great video with timely comments. Love it!
I've gotten more done in the last few days than I did during the entire previous month. Having dewpoints in the 60s rather than mid 70s to mid 80s (and higher) is a real positive change!

Thanks, Danny, for another fantastic train video. Your informative comments during the video, really make watching and listening to your videos, really nice! Thank you.
The drone shot at 7:10 was absolutely phenomenal. Great shot and great work Danny. Love the content!

Prepared a nice lunch ( a PB&J ) and enjoyed the whole video! Thanks Danny.
Haha!!! Sounds awesome, Shane. Thanks! (Smooth? Or Crunchy?)
Distant Signal I prefer crunchy, but all we have is creamy.
Great video, love the drone work
Love your vids! Keep up the good work! I seen a New York Central Loco in the yard on the way to church this morning!
That would be the NS heritage unit! Cool!
Your videos have a flow about them and seeing how you are a fellow broadcaster it shows! Thank you sir!
As usual, another great video from Danny. Thanks...
Great vid. Greetings from Poland
I've always wondered what railroaders think when they see people like us standing trackside with cameras and flying drones. Great video Danny!
In my experience, it varies greatly... from belligerent annoyance to rolled eyes to subtle flattery and even pride.
U the man Danny!
The only ones are disliking your video sir is your competition you're the best Merry Christmas from Minnesota young man
i really enjoy your videos
Danny you have 34,100+ subscribers and I'm one of them to say keep up the great content and thank you!

Awesome video Danny! Keep up the great work!
always great to watch and listen , after seeing one of your video on uniden BC125AT , great scanner and also the magnet mount , thanks
Another great video Danny .
Thanks Danny. Way to work the morning run. The perfect complement with my Sunday morning coffee. ;)
What a great video and what a great speaking voice to listen to
Nice set of morning catches. Lots of variety and great drone shots.
Another entertaining and informative video. As usual just as I'm thinking 'I wonder what that is...' The commentary explains it in detail. Great work.
Awesome video. Really enjoyed it. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
SD 40-2s are the only locomotives that matter. None look or sound cooler; they are the 747 of locomotives. :-)
More like the cockroach of locomotives. :)
@@berkeleygang1834 and they will survive long after the new modern fuel efficient ones have been scrapped. 😊
@@michaelzilkowsky2936 I'd put my money on those old GP7s and 9s, and the mechanically similar CF7s. Time will tell!
@phillyslasher It'll take another 60+ years to see if the GEVO has the same endurance as the venerable old Geeps, but I am glad to see GE struggle to come out on top. It's been a long hard road for them. Now, if they didn't all look alike, like the 40 series of old. :D

@phillyslasher its anything but flat despite the yankee assumption to the contrary.
AGS-Guy took the words outta my fingertips and onto the screen here...
@phillyslasher how those sd40's junk when they been pulling long freight trains since 1966??yawn
@phillyslasher what problem do they not have in Florida? If you're referring to grades you have never been to Florida nor have you seen the trackage from an engineer's standpoint.
When was the last time you ran an SD40? Asking for a friend...
Excellent !!! One of my favorite Railfan channels. I hope to start one sometime soon. If only I could be this good!
Mr. Harmon sets a bar everyone else should strive for!
Incredible drone footage! Wow!!

I learn more about trains from watching your videos than anywhere else. Always the best narrations!
Great vid. I absolutely love the drone shots
Great video! Lovin' those drone shots.
THE BEST INFORMATION ON TRAINS , THANKS DANNY
Love it
Danny Is The Wisest Railfaner
I enjoy your videos.
Very nice Danny! Keep up the great work 👍
Great job as always Danny !
Hey Mr. Danny as Always Great Video a little on the Short side but we don't want anyone getting to Hot our Weather here in Ks has Been a Mixed Bag sometimes I dont think it knows what it wants to do & Hope to see more of your Videos.. From the D.M.R.R Allen D. Out.. 🚂🚂🚂
Another stunning video!
The virtual railfan camera is locator there in plant city at 2:37
3:42 The location is extremely special to VRF. The company was born during a conversation on that very platform
Hope your winter won't be to stormy for you, California is going to warm and rainy
Great video, love the drone shots
So many standard cab EMDs in one video! Its great! I am sick of all GEs all the time, which is what I usually see on my local class 1. Man do I miss the sound of EMD prime movers. Great video Distant Signal.
Glad I'm not the only one sick of GEs everywhere
Very nice Danny ...
Excellent footage as usual, Danny. Keep up the good work!
Terrific catches/races/meets/power!
Another really enjoyable film so thanks again Danny.

Another great video Danny. So informative.
Nice plus we have search light signals and dwarf signals down on the uprr are serving its last days to be taken down

Another cool adventure Danny, look forward to the next one. Steve from Sydney 🇦🇺
Hello from Jacksonville! I love your videos, and am a new railfan. I watch a lot of Virtual Railfan videos and saw your railroad sign video.
Okay, seeing SD40-2's on a road freight is awesome. Having them leading is even better! Admittedly a bit weird that Q452 is all empty racks though
Great vid!
