16:14 I love that Danny includes reviews of local BBQ joints in his travelogs. Diehard railfans appreciate his dedication!
Danny, if you’re ever back in Ft Pierce highlighting the new Brightline 110 mph service or FEC, stop by Moonswiners BBQ at the junction of State Road 70 and Okeechobee Rd. They’ve been around for more than 60 years, rebuilt after a massive fire gutted the restaurant couple years ago and has been a staple for fantastic BBQ for us locals for years. We drive an hour South from our home in Brevard all the time for a quick lunch or dinner with friends…it’s just that good
My thoughts exactly!!! 😊
Video railfan guides are something the community desperately needs, and this is a shining example. Maybe I’ll start doing these for the northeast, depending on how well received this is.
If you start, I'm now subbed.
@@jameschristiansson3137 I do provide narrated insight in my regular railfanning video trips. However localized guides based on a subdivison/city would use collective footage.
Agreed
Doooooo it please!!!!! That’d be amazing man.
I’m going to be doing a series of narrated Railfan Hotspots in my home state of New Jersey
Hey Danny, I'm starting my 3rd week of CSX Conductor school in Atlanta GA. Last week one of our instructors showed your signals videos. He said he had just discovered you and marveled at how good your videography is!
Nothing makes your day like a Danny Harmon video. Educational, informative, and entertaining. I always look forward to seeing them pop up in my feed. Thanks for all you do, Danny and keep up the great work 👍
It's always a treat when I get the notification that Distant Signal has a new post. Ever the professional, Danny always has the best content, very through and easy to understand. Thanks Danny !
He also manages to not have ads cutting into the middle of his vids the way some other railfan youtubers do.
Hi Danny!
I am so glad that I recently discovered your Channel. I have been hired as a Conductor for one of our nation's Class 1 railroads and I was searching TH-cam for some instructional Conductor videos when your page came up. Besides being enjoyable videos, I find that I learn much watching your quality presentations. I will begin my Conductor's training in another week. I will be 500 miles from home but I know it will be time well spent as I am absolutely determined to pass the exams at the end of my training weeks and become the very best Conductor that I can be.
Both my lovely wife and I are quite excited at what lies ahead just 'around the bend'. Thank you so much for all you have taught me. And your positive, upbeat spirit is both uplifting and encouraging. My very best to you always sir. God bless!
Rickey
Good luck with your training and future career.
The railfan "Timesaver" game was developed in the 1970's, and is now a game ap. Deliberately difficult switching challenges are presented. Delivering three cars in a small yard with the minimum number of moves is the objective. Switching assignments get trickier, almost seeming impossible.
Rickey: As others would easily offer, "Good Luck to you"; but this channel really is "the premier" railfan channel.... no hesitancy at all in that assessment.
Best of luck out there on the high irons!
God bless ya Rickey! Enjoy your days railroading. 🚂 🚃 🚃 🚃
It is always a great day when Danny uploads a video!
I wholeheartedly agree.
I'm only 8 and watching your videos makes me a better and wiser video railfanner and hope to do the same to educate future railfanners when I'm your age! Thanks Danny! -Alex
Danny your channel is always a treat. Thank you for sharing railfaning with us.
Really nice of channel 13 to air its voice. Been watching since 2018
Great video Danny. It's always a good day when a Distant Signal pops up. Thanks for the work you put into these.
Good to see yet another superior quality report from my favorite Train Reporter. Thanks!
Florida’s # 1 Railfan has posted a New Video. Always Enjoy your videos, Danny. Thanks! 👍🙏
Thank you, Danny!
I can't wait to see the new Chargers in Florida too. As always, you make these videos educational and fun to watch! Thank you!
You need to upload more! I have been anxiously waiting for a new video! As always great catches and videos! I'd love to visit from over here in arizona.
Thank you Danny for taking the time to display another great video. take care sir. 🤓
Im leaving for florida tonight and i literally NEED this right now. Thank you so much Dan..
Your knowledge of Florida’s railroads, railroad history, and helpful information is astounding! Great work, as always sir.
Your videos are not just packed full of great information but are pure pleasure to watch.
You do know some good Bar-b-que places. It's nice to know where the good food is when out watching trains.
the Fence looks great thx for the post.😊😊👍👍
The segment that 13 aired about you Danny was so special that it drives people to was these great stories you share on TH-cam! Thanks for sharing!!
Yeah, that was nice. Thanks Mark! Hope you and the family are well.
Is it posted online somewhere for the benefit of those of us outside of Florida?
13 did a piece? By all means, get us a link to that!
It’s 2 AM and I should be heading to bed, but I can’t pass up a new Danny Harmon video! 😁
Danny, you're the Professor Emertius of CSX railfanning and every post is an education, thanks and cheers from JAX, FL...
Flying down to Tampa next week, mainly to see US Sugar 148, but I am gonna try and set a day out at Plant City while I'm home.
The same as usual. An awesome video by Danny. keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
New video! It was a great Video!
Another great video. If I ever am able to get down that way, I will be sure to check out the places you mentioned. Thanks for sharing.
Meeting you at the Jacksonville Train Show was a highlight of the event for me. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
It's ALWAYS a pleasure to see a new Distant Signal video. Thanks for your work, Mr. Harmon!
I'm a central Illinois railfan and model railroader.
Thanks for all the informative videos.
Remembering the juice trains you put up 10 years ago plus and the Newell crossing with you and Cookie where the consist was at track speed to about blow you and the camera over at the time… still great stuff you are producing in this new age of railfanning…and we always thank you…
I appreciate your commentary. Fun and informative like I'm watchinf the old CDs or PBS from when I was a kid.
Danny I was getting worried about you since we had not heard from you in while. Glad to see you!
Spotted a Stobe sticker on the Remote Locomotives sign! ✊
2:54 - I missed that, thanks.
Most entertaining, educational and enjoyable! As always!
Another WELL Done Video and Narrative from You !
Greetings from Australia. Even though I'm not familiar with Tampa, I still enjoy your videos.
Nothing like a rail video from Danny!
Excellent video. Great information. Thank you.
You should make a restaurant series of your favorite places to dine on the road! You advertising some great restaurants to us hungry railfans will seriously boost Local Businesses around here.
It's a good day when Danny uploads!! 😁😁😁
Mr Harmon
You have a terrific channel, and it’s easily one of the consistently best railfanning channels on TH-cam. I am really glad I found you just over a year ago when I was getting ready to move to Orlando from the Seattle area after retiring from Federal service. I spent quite a few years in the Pacific Northwest and had a lot of favorite railfanning spots scoped out all over that region, but I know next to nothing about railroading in the Southeast and especially Florida so I was despairing that I’d need to spend several years of random wandering just to find the best places to catch trains. This video and your channel overall have been a tremendous boon to my gaining a quick understanding of the hot spots around these parts and I’m very appreciative! It’s a bonus that you’re a fellow BBQ fan and your reviews of local eateries are great. I can’t wait to put all the new knowledge I’m gaining from your channel to the test as I range out from my home in Orlando to find trains to watch and photograph and great BBQ to partake of. If I happen to see you out and about I’ll be sure to say high and thank you in person. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Rob Shaw.
Always glad to see your posts.
Thanks for the tour. I. Never knew so many trains are present in Florida. Great education. Later.
Kojak's is an awesome restaurant! Miss their old location in South Tampa. Great video. Keep up the awesome work! Been getting into these railfanning channels more and more over the last couple of years or so.
Always good good to see Danny!
This is the best railfan channel on TH-cam... Another quality video, thanks Danny!
I’ve been waiting for this video. Good one. Like the new sign.
-Danny
Another good helpful video. Thanks Danny

I love the way you explain everything were seeing, I really mean that, 💯
Thank you, Geraldo.
Thanks Danny for more interesting stuff
Great detail. Well appreciated
Thanks for another interesting video. Love the memorabilia on your fence.
Thanks for making this video. I'm in the Tampa area this week and have been able to visit 4 of these locations. I really appreciate all the info! Plant City is a great place, nice downtown along with the museum and train watching platform.
Danny that was another awesome video. You always do a superb job. Thanks 👍❤️
Thanks for the quickie go to spots Danny. Some I remember and others I look forward to seeing. Thanks to Travis, my radio is hooked up and ready to go to. Big surprise there. ;)
Another great video, enjoyed it!
I don't undertand most of the terminology in your videos lol, but your presentation and enthusiam for the topic makes each one really engaging and spikes my own interest
Another great show. Thanks for your work. Some of us that can't get out to Railfan watch your shows over and over...and over and over
As always, very informative. Thank you for sharing.
David is my dad! Thanks for the shout-out.
No problem. Please tell him hello for me!
I really enjoy your videos thank you for sharing
Always a treat to see a new video of yours as they sure sets the bar very high on everything here on TH-cam. First class, as always in ALL aspects! Keep them coming! Cheers from Sweden!
Many thanks, Ollie! Always good to hear from you.
Love your content, Danny! They're so informative and interesting, and great conversation to have with my dad. I moved from NY to GA right before the pandemic, and so I don't get to see him often, so we bond over (amongst other things) talking about your videos! Thank you for everything you do!
Welcome back. Really missed your video. Don't stay away to long.
Thank you Danny!🙂🙂
Always a joy when you drop a new vid!!!
Thank you for posting this Video. I am from CT, but going to FL to visit my daughter the first week of April 2023. When she's working I can use her car and check out these locations. I always find your videos informative. Who knows, maybe I'll see you. Thanks a bunch!
Truck driver here, I’m in Tampa for a week after just having delivered in Plant City, decided to take a break for myself. First thing I thought about was this video and now I’m definitely going to see if I can spot some trains in some of these spots!
Thanks Shawn. Good luck!
Great youtube channel. thanks for all your work and dedication
Another great video 👍 thank you from the UK.
glad ur back but i would love to see more jacksonville railfanning
Another fascinating video, thanks!
Terrific video as always. I would love to hear from you on the train derailment in Ohio and get some of your thoughts on the situation. Would be nice to hear someone who knows what they're talking about instead of everyone else who became a freight rail expert overnight.
Another great video please keep up the good work.
Excellent vid as usual ... Thx Danny , Eddy Out !!!
Am happy to see your vids back again I luv them and I have missed them
Thanks, Danny!
Thanks for the video, Danny. As always, you do a great job and provide useful information.
I always thought you had a great speaking voice, now I see why!
Amazing as always Danny
Excellent video as always.
Danny nails it again - I live in Tampa and agree with his list of hot spots!
Many thanks Lee!
Great to see you back . Great video
Great evening with Danny.
Nice Video DS. Thanks. Really Enjoy Your Railfanning Videos and Scanner Tips**** Take Care*****
Thanks Danny!!!
Thanks, Danny. Great info. I asked for and received a scanner for Christmas; however, I am still trying to figure it out. I received the one you recommended on one of your videos. I just haven't had the uninterrupted time to master the scanner. Take care.
Love it, good job!
Thank you Danny
Amazing as always
Tank you Danny for your knowledge off RR fanning in the centra/west Centralr railroading knowledge.
Hey Mr. Danny.. I’ve gotta admit that you’ve made me a CSX fan now. I grew up in Central Mississippi on what is now called the Meridian Speedway. Lots of intermodal trains. Former ICG.
Another excellent video 👍
Another great video! I always look forward to seeing your videos! I also love the reviews of where you eat at! Thank you so much.
I always enjoy your informative videos. I hope you got a lot of content in Jacksonville and can't wait for your next upload.
This was an awesome video. Thanks 👍
