After reading several comments, I am wondering if Danny is becoming the latest Florida tourist attraction. He could buy an old depot to set up an HQ with a restaurant. Have the local train group put in a small model train. Have a theater to run vids. Sell popcorn, merch.
ME: Clicks to watch Distant Signal video by Danny Harmon TH-cam: Plays infomercial ad before video...narrated by Danny Harmon Well played TH-cam, well played. Keep up the great work!
@@distantsignal Holy cow I just saw that one the other day. I had to look it up to make sure lol. That's nuts. What else has danny done in commercials?
"Good morning, Danny!" lol - I loved that! I can't thank you enough for doing what you do and sharing it with us. I don't have the capability to do what you do so I appreciate your bringing the trains to me! You take stunning footage of them. Excellent drone work! Very beautiful. The overpass made me think about one of my earliest childhood memories of spotting a train going over the highway driving in the car with my parents. Once spotted, I kept looking for them.
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. I feel like it’s getting harder and harder to find railfans that take trainspotting seriously. You do a great job informing you viewers on what’s going on. Keep it up! 👍
I've lived in my town for 25 years and the paranoia has invaded. I used to sit half way down a dead end road and watched freight trains on 3 parallel tracks but the Town built a water treatment plant next to the rails and the folks at the plant don't like people parked nearby whether you are taking pictures or not. Until last fall there were no signs stating "No Parking" here, there or anywhere or any other signage but despite this more and more police come by to find out why I'm watching trains. After my last traffic "Stop" last July they had big red signs installed at the entrance to the dead end that have no trespassing and trespassers will be arrested posted. I worked doing fire and EMS for 20 years and I'm a Life member of the town's rescue squad but that doesn't mean to much anymore. Paranoia, sheeeesh!
nw24153ns wow, that’s really unfortunate to hear. Whenever I feel that there’s a risk of getting talked to by the police, I just remember that what I was doing was perfectly legal, and as long as I didn’t trespass I should be okay. I have nothing against the police, in fact I’m totally for them. But for some reason when it comes to filming trains, I just get the feeling that they never understand why we do it
It’s always great when engineers acknowledge your interest with a horn blast. The RR workers around here are mostly friendly and appreciate the people who love trains and keep it safe. Danny is the best.
With all due respect to all railfanners who spend their money, time, and effort to upload train videos, what I like about Danny is that he satisfies my curiosity. When I'm watching other railfan videos and I see rails converge or diverge and I wonder what line is that, who owns/owned it, etc., Danny answers those questions before I even ask. Another class A video, Danny.
The veterans unit was supposed to have been retired after Boardman’s passing last year, as it was dedicated to him and has his name above the road number under the cab window. Interesting to see it back out on the road.
Love watching your video's.. you're like the paul Harvey of rail. Good day.. was born in Clearwater and been back and forth for 37 yrs. Tampa hands down is the best place to watch some trains. Grant where I spend half my life at is Indiana and we have some great rails round here.
My dad was an Engineer for Seaboard for 25 years then 28 years as an Engineer for Amtrak. He ran train number 91 the Silver Meteor. His routes were Jacksonville to Miami and Jacksonville to Florence, SC. Thank you for your passion and your videos. They bring back great memories of my dad and the many times I spent on the train and in the train yards.
Iv'e been looking forward to this :) best Railfan on TH-cam! Planning a trip this October to Florida this channel has helped with spots to visit :) Awesome Video :)
man.....you are the voice of modern American railfanning! a few things..... I think that the Silver line needs some steam! second...I wish you could have caught the big boy out west!....could have made a great video! and lastly you should come to La!.....great food rare sights....and the railfanning isn't too bad on the old MO PAC line so thanks for the video and bringing the last great piece of American transportation to a new generation
Wish I discovered this channel earlier, this is perfect to play throughout the day while working and i've rewatched the signal videos 10 times and learn something new everytime
Pretty sure I speak for most of my fellow railfans.... The icing on the cake would be to rub shoulders with Danny on a chase... I thought I had the bug bad, then I found this channel..Danny you are definitely a legend in the making! You give alot of the lower level railfans something to look up to... The part that makes me both smile and brokenhearted, is when you say "This is Danny Harman, out".... Video ended way too soon :-)
A little bit of everything here, and probably my new favourite of your videos, sir. I will admit, before I discovered your channel, I didn't know much about American railroading, and now, well, I'm still no expert, but I know more than I did 😏 Thanks for the great content, and please do keep on rolling
ikr! I'm 62 and all my life been watching and listening for trains but never learned the terminology, signals and all. This channel is going to teach me plenty and that's awesome!
That was a lot of trains in a relatively short time in a compact area! Plenty of variety in the types, too. I was heartened by seeing so many Amtrak trains!
I await in earnest for each of your posts, Danny, and I've never been disappointed. You are the consummate professional, and the content is always so informative. Cheers!
I really enjoyed this video. I enjoyed the mix of freight and passengers with track and siding information and continued knowledge of signals. Thanks Danny. Most enjoyable.
Amazing, amazing, amazing, great video Danny! especially the Amtrak heritage, very cool, and that "Good morning" to you, wow! they sure love your work and we all do who watch your amazing videos! Thanks for sharing! we truly enjoy your great videos.
When I heard the "Good Morning Danny" shout-out I was like "Wait a minute, he knows you?" That rarely happens. He must've seen you around each time out while on the S-LINE.
Those Amtrak engineers and their precision horn blowing is quite unique and classy to me as making a statement of the trains they run. And good advise as when to travel if someone like myself is to venture down that way in the winter from the northeastern parts here. Thanks again mister and always look forward to your presentations sir....
Todd Brown It’s not a difference in engineers, it’s a difference in equipment. Amtrak’s P42s have a unique dual-value setup with a two-stage horn button that makes a very recognizable precision half-blast sound if the button is half-pressed. Modern freight locomotives just have a single stage solenoid, so freight engineers can’t really do half-blast. Back in the day, though, all locomotives had manual horn valves that allowed each engineer his own style of blowing the horn.
Something about that shot of L453 brought back fleeting memories and it felt great. I don't exactly know what it was, but it made me eager to get back to railfanning. Thank you for continuing to produce great videos, I want to emphasize the fact that you are the greatest railfanning channel on TH-cam.
At 10:02 The Amtrak engine 88, I've seen that on the Harrisburg line. West in the AM East in the PM passing thru Cresson, PA. I'm a new railfan so it was nice to see that engine show up in your vid.
At least 40 years ago when I used to work as a survey assistant for the AT&SF, the transitman used to talk about 9" and 11" superelevation on curves where they ran passenger trains. When I worked the maximum superelevation was 5".
I was out that day in the Bone Valley and got the coal train at Loughman Holdout. Not sure if he was engineer or conductor that but that the guy with the accent was Mr. Hanuska out of Taft. Very nice guy and I miss working with him when I did Railcrew there. Fantastic video as always danny. Loved watching
Thank you Danny, hope you enjoyed a nice break, but good to see you posting again! Come to Florida in the winter you say? Yes...I'd like to see some sugar cane action!
Another great video as always. Liked the spot of a British crewman on the radio, as a British rail fan of US railroads if I was younger I’d be tempted to go and get a job on the railroad
Danny, Once gain, Sir, an interesting and fun video of train action from the Lakeland area! Love them a LOT, so please keep 'em coming.....I learn something from you every time I watch, which is part of the fun and the engaging charm of your great camera work and informed commentary! As always, THANK YOU! Kent Brinkley (up in Williamsburg, VA)
Wow never heard a engineer with a British accent ET44AHs a red my favourite locomotive! Well where I live there ET44ACs. Great Amtrak veteran locomotive! Great job! Could you try railfanning in Canada?
Great video Danny! How are you doing today? Keep awesome videos coming my friend! I don’t do much train line exploring now but I did near the start of 2020. Hope someday You get a chance to come to New York soon this summer to get awesome trains. It’s fun and I know the mileposts and frequencies. I got a hat from a local on the first of February and it turned out it was one of my uncles cousins! God bless and keep safe my friend. Bye for now, Some 1.
The three csx heritage units are out and ready for a freight train in Georgia. The CSX locomotives are armed forces, law enforcement, and the first responders.
Sitting here in my car watching this while eating my Cuban sandwich from Cuban Sandwiches To Go in Orlando. The low rumble of those locomotives sounds awesome on the car audio system!
Danny, thanks for the dropped signal @ 10:30. Also, I loved your expert editing by going back and forth between and overhead shot and the ground level. Once again, as always, great stuff. You never disappoint.
I loved the "good morning danny" comment on the radio at 6:35, sure was nice of him
Me too...
It's clear that he's a very familiar sight for the local engineers.
Yeah, that was cool 👍
Indeed
Very cool, and a nice easter egg in the video
Pretty cool to see the railroaders recognizing one of the most respected railfans. Glad you had a good weekend!
"Good mornin' Danny!"
ztrayn Ted Zabel on the radio 😀😀
"Good morning, Danny" pretty cool shoutout!! Great video!!
After reading several comments, I am wondering if Danny is becoming the latest Florida tourist attraction. He could buy an old depot to set up an HQ with a restaurant. Have the local train group put in a small model train. Have a theater to run vids. Sell popcorn, merch.

Well played TH-cam, well played.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks Cody! Which ad had my voice on it?
@@distantsignal The one for Smart Swab. I've seen it before but just found it funny and ironic that one played for one of your videos.
@@distantsignal Holy cow I just saw that one the other day. I had to look it up to make sure lol. That's nuts. What else has danny done in commercials?
Wait Danny does VO work too?
Ad ? lmao i have AdBlocker ! yup. no revenue from my View. lol

I completely concur! These videos are an amazing gift to the railfan community, and we all owe you big-time, Mr. Harmon!
It's nice when the engineer say's, "Good morning Danny." Shows respect. I like it.
Yes, that's pretty cool to hear your name over the radio like that.
@@distantsignal that was pretty cool to hear, thank you for including it in the video.

Good Morning Danny. 6:37 how often does that happen? these people really know you. great video Danny, thanks for sharing.
6:36 "Good Mornin' Danny." I loved that line. He must know you!
the more close listeners might've heard the Shave and a Haircut that Amtrak gave at 8:36
and it sounded clean...
Yep
ok FURRY
Greater Boston Railfanning ok zoomer
Greater Boston Railfanning what’s wrong with furries huh?

Thank you.
👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
Love these videos a lot, look forward to everyone of them, another good one today :)
This is one excellent video! Lots of trains, people, history and more. I miss the 50's and 60's.
Awesome video Danny! Really enjoyed the CFL action on a rather beautiful day. On 91 that was Aaron Carter giving you a wave.
Thanks Tolga! I should have known Aaron was among those Amtrak crews that day. I guess we saw all of them.
Another informative and entertaining video. Your information, insights, and personal comments make yours my favorite railfan videos.
Thank you James. It's gratifying to hear that.
Love watching your video's.. you're like the paul Harvey of rail. Good day.. was born in Clearwater and been back and forth for 37 yrs. Tampa hands down is the best place to watch some trains. Grant where I spend half my life at is Indiana and we have some great rails round here.

We love you and God bless you Danny, keep up the exelent work and stay safe out there..
That was a lot of trains in a relatively short time in a compact area! Plenty of variety in the types, too. I was heartened by seeing so many Amtrak trains!
Exellent videos! Great photography and storytelling! My son loves your videos! He's becoming quite the little rail fan!
I really enjoy watching your videos the Informative and educational as well and they just fun to watch
As I watch this, I’m sitting in Folkston waiting for a southbound!
Did you ever catch that southbound? It has been 5 months ago, just curious.
We need to know if you got the southbound
Yep. Was a CSX manifest with a BNSF trailing 😃
as of this,I am not.
Keep up the great work, Danny Always a Pleasure,Funny hearing the good morning and the British guy :)
I await in earnest for each of your posts, Danny, and I've never been disappointed. You are the consummate professional, and the content is always so informative. Cheers!

I love your videos and the way you explain things!
That's dispatcher Bryant Mills (LBM) having the job briefing with Q220.
Amazing, amazing, amazing, great video Danny! especially the Amtrak heritage, very cool, and that "Good morning" to you, wow! they sure love your work and we all do who watch your amazing videos! Thanks for sharing! we truly enjoy your great videos.
What a great show. Always enjoyable. Thanks to you Danny.

Florida in the winter; duly noted. That was a lot of good info and great shooting !!!
Another fantastic video Danny. Thank you for all the time you spend to get us these great videos.
Great video Danny. So cool that engineer gave you a good morning.You're well respected and should be.

I sure do like your videos Danny they are great
Nice video Danny (as usual). Noted the new bag/dorm deadheading north. Hopefully they will finally get used as intended.
Interesting and well presented thanks from Orlando
Great video and catches! Always love the information you pack into these videos, and neat how at least some of the crew members know you by name, lol.
Fantastic video Danny, thank you for the great work. The drone shots were great.
