Five Freights, Four Amtraks, One Saturday

- I love the days when you're not completely sure where you're gonna go or what you're gonna get. Such was a Saturday outing in late January 2020.
I started out in Lakeland, FL on the ex-ACL lines, then went out to West Lake Wales in southern Polk on the ex-SAL Miami Sub.
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.
Walt Nelson 😊Great idea Walt 👍
"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.
I completely concur! These videos are an amazing gift to the railfan community, and we all owe you big-time, Mr. Harmon!
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!
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
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.
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 That's exactly how terrorism wins.
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
Good Morning Danny. 6:37 how often does that happen? these people really know you. great video Danny, thanks for sharing.
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.
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?
6:36 "Good Mornin' Danny." I loved that line. He must know you!
Love these videos a lot, look forward to everyone of them, another good one today :)
Danny I like your style and how you make these videos keep making them.
Thank you.
👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
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.
great as always
Thanks, Danny, for all your interesting and entertaining videos. Always looking forward for the next ones!
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.
Nothing makes my heart skip a beat like seeing a new Danny Harmon video.
Amazing video Danny. Very well done 👍 It’s always nice when crews acknowledge railfans.
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.
Great video. Keep it up.
Can’t wait for you to hit 50k.
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.
This is one excellent video! Lots of trains, people, history and more. I miss the 50's and 60's.
Your films are always interesting! Thanks much.
Thanks for taking us along on another spectacular railfanning trip Danny.
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.
Can’t wait for your next one really enjoyed this one
Great vid danny.
That's dispatcher Bryant Mills (LBM) having the job briefing with Q220.
How cool to get a radio shout? Awesome. Train famous.
Beautiful work Danny. Thanks much.
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 :-)
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".
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 :)
Thanks Tim!!
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.
Thanks Danny, Love your video.
Thank you, John!
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!
@@BlazeDuskdreamer Not even that. Before this, I couldn't tell a Dash 8 from an SD90. Didn't have much interest in American stuff full stop, like.
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
Florida in the winter; duly noted. That was a lot of good info and great shooting !!!
I loved the driver speaking in British English. 🇬🇧
Another fantastic video Danny. Thank you for all the time you spend to get us these great videos.
Thanks for another great video, with good 2-way radio audio! Your narration is really helpful to describe what you are showing to us who are less skilled in railfanning!
What a great show. Always enjoyable. Thanks to you Danny.
Love the step by step explanations you do!
Great work. As usual, very informative. Thanks again.
Nice one, I was out there that day filming as well, missed you by 13 miles or so! LOL
Another excellent production with stunning video and narration. Thanks!
Excellent video Danny. I so thoroughly enjoy them all.
I love your videos and the way you explain things!
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.
Love the new video. Brilliant as usual Danny! I’ll always be a fan!
Thanks Michael!
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!
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.
Loving this new format!! Everything looks so clean and professional!
Excellent video coverage and can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks for another great video Danny !
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.
We love you and God bless you Danny, keep up the exelent work and stay safe out there..
Keep up the great work, Danny Always a Pleasure,Funny hearing the good morning and the British guy :)
Thank you I enjoy your videos
Another great video. Out of all the train videos I watch you videos are my favorite.
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
Very big thanks, Cleveland! Yes, I hope to get back to LA one of these days before too long.
Love this! Thank you for sharing. Thumbs up.
Great as always..keep em coming.
I really enjoy watching your videos the Informative and educational as well and they just fun to watch
Great Video !!!!!
Great work as always, keep it up.
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.
Another fantastic video! It really is nice during winter.
Instant like. Hossa!
Good to see a new post!--look forward to each new one, great narration and footage
Absolutely excellent, Danny Harmon!

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!
Another great video.... as usual.
I sure do like your videos Danny they are great
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
Glad you enjoyed it
May I echo the comments, very cool having the engineer Good Morning Danny you. Great video, super weather ! I'm planning my trip now.
