    I know that now a days we can expect maybe one of these videos a month from Danny but it's always worth the wait. The way he narrates his videos is better than most and more informative. Thanks Danny for always posting quality videos.

    Wonderful video Danny, keep up the great work!! Great catch on the Clinchfield Emblem leading as well! Not sure if he noticed but he actually caught that locomotive twice, once on the O train at the start and again at 11:37

    Danny, most new locomotives automatically operate the bell when the horn is blown, likewise the ditch light flasher. Some older ones may have that as well. It depends if the bell ring valve has been replaced. It uses air from the horn to pop out the bell button.
    Sorry to hear that locomotives are going to that electronic bell, but I understand why. The air cartridge that rings the old bell is a constant maintenance issue. When I was working in the mechanical dept, I replaced at least a few of them every week.
    Thanks for decoding the new train IDs. Makes more sense than the old system.

      When I worked in Florida the old switchers from the 70s had those same valves that popped the bell valve when you hit the whistle valve.

    Thank you Danny for sharing your enthusiasm for the high iron! This Arizona guy enjoys seeing Florida and learning what's new in hopper car technology and naming terminology. I enjoy the peek into railroading you give us, which is something I've always wanted to see. Thanks again for creating positive, entertaining, and informative videos with a willingness to show mistakes and what you learned from it and to say I don't know---but think that it might be...... I like your casual format and style, and your recommendations on where to find good food!

    Those "burn" marks on your pulled pork is what's known as the "bark", which is the outer layer of the pork butt which solidifies over a smoke of many hours (often all day). The fact that it's there means they spent their own sweet time smoking it. Yum!

    12:36 yes Danny, Bell and Horn function are simultaneous on almost all modern locomotives. Had a cab ride in a 1950's F7 recently, and those two functions were independent. Same with 611!

    UK viewer here. Thanks Dan , amazing video as always. Coincidentally , I was going to post a question about the famous and iconic “bell” sound on US Locomotives. This iconic sound is universally respected and linked to US locomotives like no other across the world. It would be great to perhaps even have a video solely dedicated to the subject. Its history, origins, purpose of use and variations over the centuries . Look after yourself Dan, all the best to the family and keep up the amazing work .

    Hi Danny, another great video. At BNSF all our trains have been symboled like that from the beginning, actually our Q trains are designated for intermodal (mainly containers) and Z for high priority (mainly truck trailer piggyback) freight. I never understood why it took CSX so long to follow suit. Now only if they can change their signal aspects and indications to mean the same as ours too, lol.
    You also mentioned you had a theory that the bell was automatically activated with the horn, you’re 100% correct. Stay safe out there and have a happy 4th of July.

    • @Andrewwr14
      @Andrewwr14 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Same thing at CN: Q or Z for intermodal, A or M for manifest, L for local, E for unit, B for grain, and W for work.

  • @docphillips5153
    @docphillips5153 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Another great video. One of the engineers on CSX up here told me the ditch lights horn and bell on GE units are all one function. They activate horn and it starts ditch lights alternating and sounds bell. Engineer still has to operate horn as prescribed, but it cancels bell and puts ditch back to normal so many seconds after last horn activation.

    Am I the only one who is disappointed to hear they don't even use a real bell anymore?
    Also, Danny, the steadiness of your camera drone is impressive, some of those shots look like the camera is mounted on a pole.

    • @freedomfan4272
      @freedomfan4272 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mechanical bells on locomotives and also on crossing posts are pretty much done for. It's weird whenever I hear a E bell on an old locomotive. I really don't care for the new Electric Q that is used on some emergency vehicles now days either.

    @Andrewwr14 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Still my favourite part of your videos is seeing what you have for lunch! You have some pretty cool restaurants down there. You're right about the bell being activated by the horn. In all of the new units, whenever the engineer blows the horn, the bell rings automatically, just for extra safety. It then has to be turned off separately. And I love how American detectors say "niner" for the number nine! In Canada, they over pronounce the number to the point where the voice sounds angry. Something like "ninnne-ah". Great video, as always, Danny! Thanks!

    Man, I’m glad you mentioned what use to be where that community center is. I noticed it looked like it use to be a fancy entrance to somewhere so I went on google maps to see what it was and all I could see was a divided road crossing with the signals stuff up but it went to nowhere.

    Great job on this one Danny, I enjoyed this one quite thoroughly, especially with that opening scene at Winston with the clouds. Mornings like that are arguably the the most carefree, undoubtedly a favorite. I will add, that with your prediction about the Winston rock trains - from what I know, if they continue to run, they should keep the symbols they currently have. This being because they were resymbols of A770/71, which were Waycross to Brownsand turns of the same type. The following resymbols just extended the jobs to Winston, to cut out the middleman at Waycross.

    Great video Danny! Wouldn’t it be nice if besides a rail fan viewing platform wouldn’t it be nice if they included some posted material on the history of that area and old rail yard that was there for years.
    I live about 30 miles NE of the double diamond between UP and BNSF located in the city of Rochelle, IL and the city built a beautiful elevated open with roof rail fan viewing platform but it has information on the rail history in Rochelle and it has postings on permanent display that dhow old hobo signs and their meanings. It makes it very interesting as well as a great place to see trains. It is located not to Far East of UP’s Global 3 yard that believe it or not got shuttered a few years back due to precision schedule railroading. Hard to believe they spent all that money and quit using it other than this years big rail and shipping jam up seems to have made them have to utilize it somewhat again. As you walk east out of the platform area you will see a very small little switcher engine that was actually built in the city of Rochelle and there is a little stand in the area that when open sells railroad publications news patches, buttons and other memorabilia as well as some snacks and drinks. So if you ever suggest a platform to the city maybe suggest some history included PS why your at it don’t forget the roof for shade from that hot Florida sun and maybe if you tell them about the little stand I told you about you might just get that to if you tell them that they may be able go make money at it. What city council member doesn’t like the idea of money. Great job again Danny and _am if you ain’t got me wanting some BBQ right now!
    Thanks again C.N.

    @unumintusDominus 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Danny, I love your train videos. They ALL are TOP-NOTCH! This current one ‘CSX's New Train Symbology’ has to be one of your best. As always, you are the PERFECT ‘Southern Gentleman’ in your commentaries, careful not to go out of your way to offend viewers, limiting what might be offensive comments. Some other rail fan videos seem to go out of the way to voice opinion on what locomotives are best and what railroads are terrible. As a Yankee who has lived most of his life in the South and has, to some degree, been ‘Southernized’ I think a few of my fellows can use a dose of Southern Hospitality added to their life. Smile. :-)
    Your videos on railway signals are EXCELLENT! Now I KNOW what to look for when watching the new PTC-APB signals on the CSX Georgia Railroad Subdivision near my house, as they display different colors. In case you don’t know it, the CSX Georgia sub is a low-density line between Atlanta and Augusta that averages about 6 trains a day using TWC most of its length, augmented with PTC from Atlanta to Lithonia operating under APB ‘Poor man’s CTC’ with the exception of a few CTC islands.
    Another thing that I enjoy is you cover freight trains as well as passenger trains. Some people only cover one or the other which becomes monotonous. Additionally I love it when you drive to other states, such as my home Georgia to do train chasing with the people who live there. Finally, the eateries you stop at to visit and eat food, make my mouth water. Southern cooking beats Northern cooking every day of the week and twice on Sundays and, that’s MY OPINION. The North has many ethnic cuisines but the South is home to good old American-made dishes, made up of Barbecues (Beef in taxes, Pork in the Deep South), Fried Chicken, Biscuits and Gravy, Country Fried Steak, Shrimp, Crawfish, Crab, Ribs, Hush Puppies, Grits, Fried Apples, Hash Browns, you name it. And, I love to see you partake of the dishes and expose them to people not familiar with Southern cuisine.
    Keep up the good work. I always look for your videos on my TH-cam channel of my Roku TV!
    Thanks for everything! :-)

This is one good source to learn about the company, what is new with their business, and what new or old initiatives management is taking. Of course there are many other sources too, which are valuable to learn about what's going on - like your channel!

    These are great videos. Here in Middletown Ohio I do a lot of train watching. I’ve noticed lately that CSX has been using locomotives in between the trains a lot on their single main through west Middletown and Trenton Ohio.

    How do you determine the train number. I really appreciate you videos. I am just getting in to railfanning and they have helped me learn a lot.

    Thanks Danny for all the new CSX Symbology Advisories to June 2022 including the superceded abbreviations.
    Thanks for taking the time to explain 🙂 to explain why the Bell rings approaching pedestrians 🚶‍♀️ and how the horn relays the bell 🔔 after sounding the horn.
    Thanks for taking us down the Zephyrhills branchline and bringing us along to Bubbaques, interesting menu, Tractor Grease, liked the drone shot over the empty coal hoppers & dpu, hence the prefix E. ( E040 ) showing the empty status.
    It was most helpful being able to identify date of origin eg= X45311 .....11th day of month, I will keep the notes I have taken handy.
    Many thanks again !
    😊👍

    Hi, Danny! We've recently moved into an apt next to CSX/Amtrak just off the north end of the Amtrak station in Richmond, VA. Lots of traffic and excitement out our (only) back window. For now, we have about a half dozen regular channels to listen to. Lots of hoppers and tankers. Two Amtrak or more in the morning and evening, likely serving the DC and Baltimore areas.

    I wonder if the Sandhill cranes were also rail fanning?

    Solid railfanning. I can never get enough of your work. The only downside is that living in Thailand, I can't frequent the restaurants you find.

      Danny's videos are very similar to going grocery shopping, you should always eat before doing either one.
