This is a railfanning trip to Lakeland to find out about the new I-4 underpass on the Vitis Sub. But it also led me out to find a bunch of Amtrak action.
Hi Danny Harmon, my grandson Cooper and I enjoy watching your channel alot. Cooper wanted me to leave this comment to let you know how much he loves you and that you are our favorite train watcher. 🙂 We are currently watching the "Trains Across The Interstate." Thank you for all the work you do to bring us the videos.
9:20 I always appreciate the side track discussions. Not all things needs to be about trains. You make us always comfortable about all new pit stops you find, and these restaurants may be handy to even all of us that are bored of what we have ❤
Gotta give Danny all the credit for being a train video producer, I've watched other train videos, and none compare to his knowledge and know how to get around his area and find what he's looking for. If I ever get to Florida again, I would like to meet him and shake his hand for doing what he loves to do the best. I have learned so much from his videos that I go looking for things that he has talked about and see what's happening on the train lines myself. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching. Thanks Danny!
Ive noticed the Silver Meateors and Stars are returning to their pre-covid lengths recently, definitely a sign of the population boom in florida. Great video as always Dan!
What a great way to start the day, coffee and a Distant Signal video from Danny Harmon. Thanks Danny, another great video. Have a great Father’s Day Danny!
Thanks Danny for the insight on the Articulate 3 & 5 unit cars with 1 truck on 2 units! I've noticed these on the CSX line where I grew up in Northeast Ohio Akron-Cuyahoga Falls, Munroe Falls-Kent/Ravenna area in Northeat Ohio.
Every time I watch this channel I am amazed at the quality of the videos along with the commentary. Danny always makes me think of Bill Kurtis with the sound and overall quality of his voice.
Another great video. If you're ever in the PSL/Fort Pierce area, my father in law is pretty high up at FEC and can take you around almost wherever you'd like around the depot.
As someone who drives under this bridge everyday and drives as a delivery driver around Winston Yard's area these are my favorite videos, always interesting to hear about something so local
Another great video, with a wealth of information, and really cool drone footage! For me, being a comms. guy, the radio traffic is icing on the cake! Thanks Danny for all that you do, and HAPPY FATHER’s DAY!
Greetings fellow Nebraskans! Bailey Yard is fantastic! Probably now a shadow of itself, but that view never gets old! Mister Harmon! If you come out this way, do give us a healthy heads up!!
Really interesting video Danny, you make an excellent guide to railroads. Over in Europe a lot of passenger trains have articulated coaches, makes for a smoother ride, reduces maintenance, but the downside is that a defective coach cannot be removed from a train without a visit to the works!
Danny I love how you showcase local restaurants in your videos Because of that my family has been able to replace Sonny’s (a pale imitation of its former self) with bubba Qs in Brandon and I’m sure soon we will have more family favorites Thanks for your insight on places we might otherwise overlook!
Hi Danny. That CSX sign is probably made out of Masonite. That's not going to last very long in the weather without a good coat of varnish. I think I'd try to mount it somewhere where it'll stay dry. Cheers!
16:00 458 axles minus 18 for the three locomotives leaves 440 for coal cars which is 110 coal cars. Back in 1980 when I worked at the old General Portland cement plant along Krome Avenus south of Tamiami Trail we used to burn just under 4 coal cars a day in our two kilns, so that train would have lasted a month. However, we used to get our coal deliveries every two weeks to minimize the time it sat exposed to rain.
Did you ever have problems with spontaneous combustion in the coal? I grew up near a cement plant just south of Hannibal, Missouri, and there were occasional fires where the coal was stored on the ground adjacent to the siding.
Most articulated intermodal cars do share trucks between the individual wells. However, there are quite a few 3-packs that are basically 3 individual cars that had their knuckle couplers replaced with solid drawbars. I have also seen a couple 2-pack intermodal flats. Some autoracks are also articulated, bit I don't work with them, so I don't know their details as well.
Amtrak's aging Genesis units....I must be getting old, it doesn't seem that long ago that you were excited to see one of the new Genesis units on the point!
Those multi-unit articulated intermodal units may only count as one car, but when I'm sitting at a crossing and really have to...um...get rid of some coffee...a lot of coffee, I'm counting every car!😬
Danny, your videos are always a welcome sight in my feed! Thanks once again for such a high quality, well done, production. See you out there on the high iron!
I have mentioned before I don't really consider myself a "railfan" but your videos are of such fantastic quality I find them irresistible. The photography, production values and narration are just fantastic.
As soon as I saw the title screen capture, I instantly said to myself 'awe man someone's getting a new double track bridge!' Love seeing railways upgrading their services and all; it's so cool to me.
I couldn’t wait to get home from work today, eat dinner and took a special time out of my day to watch Danny’s video!! I love all his videos can’t wait for some more!!
Once again, Danny, I appreciate your visits to Polk County, my former home, and the Winter Haven Amtrak station. It still looks the same, and so does Lake Shipp!
Just don't park your car there overnight, come back with the frame only on blocks! I have caught the Amtrack north from there several times, it is a very quaint station and I do hope they repair it and upgrade it.
Always a great day when Danny uploads a new video! Very knowledgeable when it comes to railroads. Definitely enjoy your videos especially when the drone is involved! Thanks again Danny for sharing your videos with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware.
Hey Danny I’ve been railfan ing in ny for all my 12 yrs and I’ve watched you ever year, all those “how to read csx signals” have paid off, I can tell everything and the speed, so thanks for the memories, I’ve watched you and hoped to meet you but, I’m in New York so it hard to do that kind of thing, any way have a good fathers day
Am beyond thrilled to see more videos with the ALC-42 locomotives! Big fan of the GE P42 locos, but am excited to have the new ALC-42 chargers leading the consists. Always love seeing your local favorite spots to eat too!
Sure love this! Hey, thanks to your videos, I'm going to see Gallitzin and Altoona PA and the Famous Horseshoe Curve in a couple weeks. I can't wait to see it. Thanks Danny!
Thank you for this video. A water-seal layer such as Thompson’s Water Seal (just one of many) may help the wood of the fence resist the Florida weather.
As always, when Danny uploads, you stop what you're doing and watch.
so true
same
Most definitely agree
@@the_halton_sub_railfan77I started a discord call for this on Watch Together lol
@@thetaylorwithautism2005 for real
Another episode of 'Danny's Good Food Guide' interrupted by the occasional train. Thanks Danny.
Haha! Thanks!
You support a lot of local, and mom n pop businesses. I do too, wish more people would. As always a vreat video.@@distantsignal

DS is the gold standard for quality narration 👌
My buddy lives just around the corner. Seen that bridge many times. Good to see them doing the construction.
Danny - you continue to be the Gold Standard for rail videos!
Thank you to the TH-cam algorithm for finally serving up something I didn't know I'd love. ❤
Yeah, I wish I could reach more folks who don't know I'm here.
I had to stop my surgery midway through so I could watch this!
Haha! That's a seriously nice compliment!
One of my favorite things to do is sit on my porch with my morning coffee and watch a new video from Danny

Thanks for sharing. We always enjoy your videos.
I love distant signal videos. Educational, informative and most of all, entertaining. Wish we had weekly DS videos.
Seeing a new video from Danny H. really brightens my day. Such consummate professionalism and outstanding content.

While there may be other railroad videos being shown, nobody can match the informative and entertaining Mr. Danny Harmon. Thank you.

Like your show. I'm an engineer for Union Pacific R/R out of north Platte NE. The Bailey yard Union Pacific's biggest yard
Thanks very much, Charles. I really hope to get out to your territory next year. Maybe we'll run into one another.
I would give one finger to do that. Im in Nebraska also but probably nearing ageism. 54
Greetings fellow Nebraskans! Bailey Yard is fantastic! Probably now a shadow of itself, but that view never gets old!
Mister Harmon! If you come out this way, do give us a healthy heads up!!
I'll do that!
The drone work is first class. I see that you prefer quality to quantity. I really appreciate it. Story telling is also outstanding!!!
hi mate this is Arrow from reading england i watch your channel and thoroughly enjoy. thank you
Glad you enjoy it, Andy.
Danny, I love watching your videos. I didn’t know articulated Intermodal units were counted as 1 car. Your vast knowledge of train amazes me.
He didn't mention it, but non-articulated, one-well cars exist, too.
Came for the food, stayed for the trains
Really interesting video Danny, you make an excellent guide to railroads. Over in Europe a lot of passenger trains have articulated coaches, makes for a smoother ride, reduces maintenance, but the downside is that a defective coach cannot be removed from a train without a visit to the works!

Those Siemens Charger locomotives are manufactured in my hometown of Sacramento! I even know some folks working there :)
Happy Father's Day Mr. Harmon. Great to watch one of your videos as I'm getting ready for church. Thank you.
Always a pleasure Danny ! Best wishes from New Zealand 😊
Hi Danny. That CSX sign is probably made out of Masonite. That's not going to last very long in the weather without a good coat of varnish. I think I'd try to mount it somewhere where it'll stay dry. Cheers!

Ha! Krome Avenue. That's a name you don't hear much today. I remember in 1980 it was in the news every day. "The Krome Avenue Detention Center"
Did you ever have problems with spontaneous combustion in the coal? I grew up near a cement plant just south of Hannibal, Missouri, and there were occasional fires where the coal was stored on the ground adjacent to the siding.
Love these “day in the life of a railfan” style videos you make Danny 👌
I love your videos keep em coming 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🥳🥳
As usual, very entertaining. Great job on the fence, I use Olympic Deck Cleaner and it doesn't require any scrubbing.

You're not kiddin'!! I remember how much railfans hated those Genesis engines.

Fence looks really great. Good job
Its a no-brainer to hit like for everyone of Danny's vids
The fence is glowing again. Nice drone work on the coal train. Clear as a bell
Another great video Danny. I enjoyed seeing the new Seimens Amtrak locomotives.
Happy Father’s Day, Mr. Harmon. Love your programming. (choo-choo 🚂 ) Stay cool 😎 from the heat.
Nice Sunday morning surprise.
Danny, your videos are always a welcome sight in my feed! Thanks once again for such a high quality, well done, production. See you out there on the high iron!

Such a good way to spend a Sunday morning
What a great father's day gift from Danny I hope you had a wonderful father's day and the same to the rest of us father's out here
Southern Florida locations like Lakeland county are like the real life Isle of Sodor for me. Thanks Danny!
When Danny comes on,., time to get the coffee and toast answer relax. Thanks for a great job again.😊
Appreciate it, Phil. I'm having toast and coffee as well... and some country sausage.
Great Video As Always Danny!
Dude didn’t have to even watch the whole thing to know
As soon as I saw the title screen capture, I instantly said to myself 'awe man someone's getting a new double track bridge!'
Love seeing railways upgrading their services and all; it's so cool to me.
Have to love them Pepsi colored Amtrak engines….
You have the best video production! Keep up the good work. 💯
I love your videos and always look forward to seeing a new one posted. Always the highlight of my day!
Wow, thank you!
Sunday morning pancakes and a Danny video. Great way to start the day. Happy Father's Day, Danny.

Hey Danny I’ve been railfan ing in ny for all my 12 yrs and I’ve watched you ever year, all those “how to read csx signals” have paid off, I can tell everything and the speed, so thanks for the memories, I’ve watched you and hoped to meet you but, I’m in New York so it hard to do that kind of thing, any way have a good fathers day
AT 8:29 mark, I love how Amtrak engineer Leroy puts his hand out the engine's window to wave enthusiastically at the camera.
I was looking to see if anyone commented about this. I think they all know and love Danny!
Nobody makes better train videos. Great work Danny!!
Yo Danny thanks for motivating me to become a railfan and a TH-camr.
I love the videos that you post.
Have a good day
Fence looks great!
Great acknowledgement from the Amtrak engineer !
This channel always makes my 81 year old brain think I'm a kid again. Thanks! JimE
Haha! Thanks Jim!! That makes it really worth it for me!!
This other 81 year old thinks you speak true.

Another great video. Thanks Danny.
The fence is looking good!
Thanks!
@@distantsignal We see you coyly made room for even more signs, too!
Your drone work is a welcome sight to modeler attempts to weather car tops. Keep up the good work!
Love your videos Danny! Like the food reviews too (even though I'm not from Florida lol)
Excellent video of Amtrak Alc 42 charger leading Danny
Yeah, those are getting pretty common on Amtrak now.
@@distantsignal your welcome I got all the train video on my channel
Really enjoyed the video, thank you.
wake up babes danny harmon just uploaded a new video
Another winning train video. Happy Father's Day Danny!! 😃👍🇺🇲
Awesome video.
Am beyond thrilled to see more videos with the ALC-42 locomotives! Big fan of the GE P42 locos, but am excited to have the new ALC-42 chargers leading the consists.

Sure love this! Hey, thanks to your videos, I'm going to see Gallitzin and Altoona PA and the Famous Horseshoe Curve in a couple weeks. I can't wait to see it. Thanks Danny!
