I've got a few DVDs with his narration. Pretty sure, especially with his clever commercial break addition, that he's aware of the monetary potential. But yeah its still prob mostly a hobby.
Thank you Danny, being 77 and Disabled been having a rough day. You do not know how much your Video just made my day a lot better. You do not know how much your's and DJ Trains do for me.
As a fellow video producer, I appreciate the work you put into your videos. It was really touching to see the way the railfanning group came together for the youth. That is a real show of what community is all about.
Danny Harmon you are one of the best at making railroads videos. You have the voice of a broadcaster, the knowledge of a long term railroader the charm of a true gentleman. Wish you the best of luck. David
This guy sounds very professional, but yet he is so natural at it. The concept of him being a professional narrator would be an understatement. He has a good soul. Trains are very difficult to understand, even I don't know or have a clue about a locomotive but I always dream of owning one for fun, for a week. Lol.
Dalton! You were right in my back yard. Give me a heads up sometime. I’d love to meet up with you and could take you to some hotspots around Chattanooga. Great video! -Drayton
Some nice variety even with only CSX and NS providing the trains. The story about Brownie is what helps to make the hobby even .more interesting. Every now and then I'll be looking at maps and especially ones from the 30s thru the 60s where towns(even midsize) where tracks radiated 6 to 10 directions. Truly a hub in its day but now often down to 2 or 3. A tip of the hat to the participants and organizers of the Spartenburg group. Good constructive interests are shared and that goes beyond just the hobby. Good work as always.
Thanks for Brownie's story. It reminds me of Owney the Railway Post Office dog. He rode in RPO cars around the country. You can see him with his vest and badges in the National Postal Museum, part of the Smithsonian. Railway and Postal history.
Awesome meeting you and your wife in Spartanburg. I'm part of the Hub City Railfan group and I love the props that you gave that group! I have always loved your channel but this video is really something special! I'm glad to see all those young railfans getting along together and having such comradery! Special thanks to the Sims family and Poppa Sam and Doriean for investing so much time in the Group!!! Also the Revel family!
I like the way you talk to us & since looking both of my kids due to "civic 19 " back in 2020 , I knew my son liked your video's as he told me so. Must go now keep up the great 👍work thanks again "Capt Jon.
Hello Danny, I'm a 76 year retired Brit living north of Barcelona, Spain. Naturally I am a big fan of preserved British steam but over the last year have developed an interest in American railroad operations. I have to say that having now subscribed to a few railfanning websites, you are without doubt the tops. The information you give, coupled with the high quality of your presentation is terrific. Very many thanks for your superb work.
As a veteran Union Pacific railroader it warms my heart to see these folks get kids interested in railroading . If only the kids could get to ride in the headend locomotive for something like 50 miles or so they would have an experience tens of millions of people could only wish to be able to do . It gives a person the knowledge of what Engineers and Conductors experience every time they climb in the cab and what happens at rail crossings hoping and praying some idiot doesn't go around the gates or try to beat their train especially when there are multiple tracks . I've seen it happen and it's not pretty when their decision was dead wrong . Thanks for an Awesome video Danny .
I rode in a soo line engine while they built the train, then a short run to another yard to drop the cars then we pulled empties back to the yard we left. Also saw engine and car shops, a tour of the yard and tower. My friends dad was in charge of the yard. He arranged it for us. I applied for a rr job after but was never hired sadly. I applied to be a Brake man. That's a step to conductor which I wanted to be.
Danny, I am a human resources practitioner who also practices in the diversity, equity, and inclusion space. And to see the level of diverse people with a common goal makes what I do worth it. Thank you. For me, this has been the best video presentation.
Yes, it's really amazing to see that people somehow find their own diversity and inclusion when joining in a common interest. No diversity training needed.
Probably my all-time favorite Distant Signal upload! I couldn’t stop grinning seeing all the children enjoy watching trains with Danny and their other buddies there in Spartanburg. Made my weekend!
One of your best yet. Loved seeing all the kids (of all ages) out railfanning together. Love what you said; "there's thousands of us". Great video Danny.
An absolutely awesome video! I love how those parents are doing things for their kids and teaching them in an unconventional way! Kudos to them and you also Danny for highlighting their efforts!
A railfan since I was young, growing up in Cicero, Illinois, a block away from the railyard. Used to listen to the steam engines humping cars in the yard on the early days of the Burlington Route. Have watched your videos over the last ten years but this is my first time comment. Excellent videos and comments make your videos great. I worked for General Motors for 45 years, the first ten was for EMD. When I started there, order number 7198 had begun, the beginning of the most powerful diesels they produced, the DD40 X. It was sight to see these behemoths being moved, by being lifted and on the rails. I'm retired these days, live in northern Illinois, on the Waukesha sub, Canadian Pacific line, the former Wisconsin Central Ltd. Greg Inciardi.
Danny - Really loved the part with the Hub City Railfans. My son is autistic, & I have had him out railfanning since he was really young. He first enjoyed the Conrail that ran at the back of his grandparent's property, & now enjoys both the Clinchfield (CSX) and Norfolk Southern. It was a proud Dad moment when he first pronounced "Norfolk Southern" since he does not speak that well. He has loved the Clinchfield since the mid-2000's when we railfanned the south end from Erwin to Spartanburg. For those of you that may have autistic children (or know of someone who does) railfanning is a great little hobby! Thanks again Danny for all your hard work & great videos.
We Welcome you to Lindale, Ga. anytime. We also have a Facebook page on the Lindale Train Viewing Platform. We are a historic Cotton Mill Town with a rich railroad history. Our town was named by an area resident who was riding the railroad through the town. We were named in 1830.
Ye! I was the one who told him about Lindale and Rome. My name is Braden btw if you did not know. I might have not told you when we met up a few months ago.
We Love you Danny!! You're a Great Man doing Great Work. What a wonderful ending to another perfect video. Thank you so much for being You. God Bless You Danny!!
A remarkable production! Technically perfect. Entertaining, interesting, with a touch of plucking the heartstrings. Thanks to you, and thank the Lord for Danny.
Yet another great video!!! Thanks for spotlighting the group of young rail fans! I'm 57 years old and live right next to the CSX line (literally 60 feet from the rail!) and can never get enough of trains! Thanks again!
Hi Danny! This has to be one of the best videos you've ever put out to date and when ever you mentioned Nashville TN my heart beamed with pride as it's my home town. I'm about to head over to TVRM in Chattanooga next week and I thought you'd like to head out there one day just to do a segment on steam locomotives. It would be interesting to see a video by you on steam as I haven't seen much about it on your channel. I had fun watching this and I wanted to say thanks for sharing your experience a little farther north in the south. Cheers my friend! 🚂🚃🚃🚃
As the parent of an Autistic young man let me say that trains are one of the top loves of Autistic children! My then 5 year old son would stand on the platform and yell "HERE COMES A TRAIN" for every train he spotted in the distance, the others on the platform would laugh and watch his delight in seeing his beloved trains. Such a simple joy!
How dare someone dislike his videos I love this guy!!! My favorite railfan hands down. I'm from South Carolina welcome to the palmetto state brother!!! The L&C short line is my home rail line.
A great ending for a great reminder of how awesome the railfan community is and how our love for railroading connects us all! Another killer video, Danny! These truly bring a smile to my face!
Awesome video Mr.Harmon...All three location were great esp.with your knowledge and color commentary. But it was at Spartanburg that really made me happy..young and older alike sharing their love of trains. So nice to see esp. in this day and age we live in. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing us along with you in your journey.Take care Danny.
It was real SUPERB that you put this video together in dedication to one of our fellow railfans. Ken Ramp JR. would be very proud of your work & endless dedication to the world of railroading. We once again hands down salute you Danny Harmon.
@@distantsignal Even Folkston resident & founder of FOLKSTON RAILWATCH Cookie Williams himself would be hands down proud & impressed with your continuing works if he was here with us today.
Oh neat! My city, Lafayette Louisiana, is also known as the hub city. Located on the Lafayette sub of the BNSF - originally the Texas and New Orleans - and then southern pacific.
@@Tracksidebench Hello! I lived in Lafayette for about 7 years. The main Lafayette yard i'm not familiar with and not sure if there are any sights for that. However, the line running south out of town has many spots to see the trains creeping in/out of town. The main one that comes to mind with some open space to set up on is E Pinhook. Look up a store called Bargain Furniture. That crossing has space on both sides. Just south (like one block) is Spring St and Dorset Ave. From there, you can parallel the line on Highway 90 South past the air port and into Broussard, LA. South of Broussard, Hwy 90 takes a sharper turn south and the line then parallels Old Spanish Trail (LA 182 I think) All along this route are plenty of spaces to post up and get some good views. The line that leaves the Laffy yard and heads East crosses some sketchy areas of town and I dont recommend you go there. The line that runs West out of town and parallels Hwy 90 has endless places to post up and watch freight head in/out of Lafayette. If you're lucky, you just might catch an Amtrack. About 40m north of Lafayette is another busy line that parallels Hwy 190. I live next to this line in Eunice. Its busy. Trains all the time.
@@davedeiler2072 hope you doing good hun do you mind if we get to talk more off here and know each other off here you have a very nice profile and i think it will be a pleasure to get to know you well hun
Danny, it’s always a pleasure to Watch yout DSL videos, besides the content, your information is Invaluable! But the most important part is to hear your voice, it is incredible and the most pleasant one of any presenter! BravoZulu!
How can you possibly keep a dry eye after the "Brownie the depot dog" story??? As always your videos leave me struggling for the words...The Cremo drive-in must've gotten the word that a celebrity amongst rail fans would be in town!
Thanks for sharing this special train video with the audience, I watch your videos from Time to Time and all of your video that I've seen are excellent and very interesting,I'm a rail fan that lives Douglasville, Ga.,I video and take photos of the trains in Atlanta, Austell, Douglasville and so on,on occasions I do amtrak 19 chases from Atlanta,Ga to Anniston, Alabama and I sure do enjoy it, this video really moved me because it was so nice to see a community come together not just for trains but to make it educational,that was so nice,Thanks again Danny,I appreciate your kindness.
I love Dalton I’ve gone there ever since I was little since the W&A is my home line even though there isn’t as much action as their used to be it still has some great photo spots
This may be my favorite Distant Signal video yet. Those folks with the Hub City Railfanners are wonderful. If I didn't live so far from Spartanburg, I'd love to go hang out with them!
You have one of the best narrations and a great easy to listen voice . Compared to the opposition you have the best well shot informative videos as well.
It's just crazy how this rail fan means thing has taken off I mean I'm sure it was just a few guys doing this because of their love of trains and it just caught on and now everybody's doing it it's really nuts I really wonder what the train crew think of this. I just love your channel I just wish you would post more.
Danny doesn’t do it for the money or fame
He does it for us.
We all appreciate you Mr Harmon!
We all wouldn’t know the info we know without you
Nah he probably does it more as like a hobby but started getting attention from it and realized he could get money off of doing what he likes
@@danieldowling7421 Actually he produced several VHS train tapes in the 1990s. Before many of his current viewers were even born
I've got a few DVDs with his narration. Pretty sure, especially with his clever commercial break addition, that he's aware of the monetary potential. But yeah its still prob mostly a hobby.

I count the days till your next video Danny . You are the best . Thank you and God Bless
I love Dalton I’ve gone there ever since I was little since the W&A is my home line even though there isn’t as much action as their used to be it still has some great photo spots
This may be my favorite Distant Signal video yet. Those folks with the Hub City Railfanners are wonderful. If I didn't live so far from Spartanburg, I'd love to go hang out with them!
I’m from Memphis Tennessee we have large Norfolk Southern and CSX railroad hub, beside my hometown I love those small Georgia rual towns.
You have one of the best narrations and a great easy to listen voice . Compared to the opposition you have the best well shot informative videos as well.
Dan your the man thanks for all the exciting videos that you produce.
It's just crazy how this rail fan means thing has taken off I mean I'm sure it was just a few guys doing this because of their love of trains and it just caught on and now everybody's doing it it's really nuts I really wonder what the train crew think of this.
I just love your channel I just wish you would post more.
Love this video. I live about 40 miles from Spartanburg on Cleveland Co. NC, and I've been to Rome for a former job.
Glad you enjoyed it
FEC is back to daytime train 8trains during day time not counting locals
I'm up near Bowden yard , the trains seem longer too...
Another GREAT Video Danny ! As Always , Thanks for Sharing , and Kudos to the Hub City Fanners !
Oh buddy guess who uploaded everyone RUN TO WATCH!
This is as much trainspotting as it is an excellent booster for local tourism. Great profile of the areas visited.
