@@ekimp252 Some rail yards sort cars by pushing them to the top of a "hump" and letting them roll down by gravity, where they are switched onto their destination tracks as they roll down. If there's no hump, they'll sometimes push the cars with a locomotive and cut them loose at the end of the push, letting them roll into their destination; this process is called "kicking". Finally, they can flat switch the cars where they are under the control of a locomotive at all times while being shoved into their destination track. Hump sorting or kicking cause a lot more shock to the loads than flat switching, so you'll see cars carrying loads that could be damaged by this shock marked "Do not hump" or "Do not hump or kick."

Jacksonville is a big deal of a city. The transfer from the FEC to America and the Duval Ramp. Truly Fascinating.

Danny, I must say, you are probably one of the best advertisers of Florida tourism, ever. Your descriptive language and beautiful camera shots make me want to move down there.

It absolutely makes me want to move to Florida. Plus, the governor is better than my state. If I had the money I would at least visit Florida

I just love watching and hearing trains moving from a dead stop that is amazing to hear and feel

Danny: those drone cameras are a God Send for rail-fanners; especially if you have the talent to become proficient with their use. Great job!

That drone shot at 10:09 was absolutely legendary!

The best train videos on KZread, keep up the great work! Lucky to have two of them to watch from you this week.

Something just like you getting stuck at Edgewood happened to me in Jax, too! I was shooting photos of a GP59 in NS' Simpson Yard last year when an NS manifest pulled out across Old Kings Road and separated me from my parents and their car! I was stuck for about a half-hour as the train switched until it finally cleared. Fun times...

I live in easy central indiana and my grandpaw past in october of 2019 and when i was little i would sleep down at my grandpaws and grandmaws house and in the middle of the night i would wake up and hear a train about a mile away and we would spend the night we would chase trains. I love the content and this reminds me of what we used to do. Thank you for the content

I loved the overview of moncrief yard. I spent the first twelve years of my rr carreer there. Particularly the fruit growers yard where I placed the cars for repairs. You really had to know your stuff to work that job.

Watching this almost 3 years later because of the thumbnail, we just had CSX 5101 on the Eastman power for E090 here in Eastern Kentucky, Harlan county and the Loyall railyard on the Cumberland Valley Subdivision. Eastman Chemical is a massive company complex in Kingsport, Tennessee and in order to power the site, they buy CV coal as a direct connection. Usually one 90 car train a week, but they take the loads back in 2 halves of 45 due to the grade and bypassing a requirement for a pusher set or DPU, though both have been used in the past. Usually in a trifecta, the Eastman train will load at the Balkan loadout alongside the CV main, then the ancient NRG loader along the Poorfork Branch out of Loyall, followed by the Creech loadout on the Merna spur, also along the CV main. The CV doesn’t see a lot of traffic, but in the average week usually 2-6 trains, one of which is the Eastman train and another an R615 for Creech, with the other 4 varied between the other loadouts. One specific loadout however, Lynch 3 at the current terminus for the Poorfork Branch, is set to reopen this month and serve 2 trains monthly, so maybe that can get some more trains on the board. Nonetheless, seeing 5101 made me smile and point out “Hey, there’s the recent Eastman Power!” Great video Danny.

Simply the best rail fan channel. Thx, Danny!

13:37 I grew up about a mile from here. My dad and I would come here to watch when we heard the steam engines that NS would bring into town once a year. We rode one year, I was probably 7 or 8 (so sometime around 1988). The last time I went through the boxes in the attic I still had the stamped tickets. Also, specific to that store there use to be a large woodpecker sign on top. The trains would stop and get a coke on their way out.

Gotta admit Iv e been a Amtrak passenger rail fan overlooking the freight guys , but watching your videos I had no idea how involved and intricate putting freight cars together and the movements of the trains . Very interesting. Been watching and learning more everyday. Thanks

DUUUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAAL LOL. Another 5 star video Danny! The added commentary is spectacular. Edgewood has a beautiful and strong mechanical bell, that's a Western Cullen Hayes bell. Still joyous and wonderful to hear them. THAT'S A REAL BELL.

This clip is absolutely exceptional, Danny! The lighting on these shots, as you mentioned, is interesting and beautiful. You're an artist, man! Thanks so much for doing what you do!

Always a pleasure to watch Mr Harmon...I'll never tire of your video's. You make them interesting, informative and fun....Great stuff. Cheers from the "other Melbourne", - Australia!

Great Video Danny! Great catches as well! NS 330 had a nice sounding Nathan K5LLA horn, my favorite train horn of all time.

That box car on that intermodal was interesting.

I get stoped at the birdville store all the time,sometimes for 30 minutes. I drive a big truck, I just turn it off and enjoy the train.

I am so thankful for this video title! DUUUUUUUUVAL!

I have watched many train videos. Some, dear say some are outright boing. Danny yours are the best!

Fantastic video as usual! Love your drone shots, but what makes your videos stand out is your wonderful announcer's voice and the train information you provide. Much better to know where its been, where it's going, stops along the way, freight its hauling, empty or full. Keeps the imagination flowing. Love them and keep them coming!

never get old watching these video's

Your commentary is a lullaby.

Looks awesome! What a neat event. Thanks for sharing. You sure have some neat shots in your video. Thumbs up.

Love your videos and enjoy each one. 😁

Best, most tastefully edited, and amazingly commentated railroad content out there.

Great work as usual Danny. I love your work

Just caught one of your mid-train DPUs on the CSX line through Auburn, AL, from Montgomery to Atlanta this morning. Train was a mixed freight that paralyzed all the crossings in town!

Looks like you had a great weekend Danny, and I appreciate sharing a little of it through you video. Thanks again!

Another great video. I always enjoy a day that starts with a KZread notification of another new video by Distant Signal.

Awesome catches Danny! Everytime I watch your vids, it puts a smile on my face.

Great video Danny! At 8:34, Love your expression after that 30 minute wait! 👍👍

Always enjoy the shots from the drone!

Another amazing job Danny. The 1st time i had ever stopped in Baldwin a couple of years ago I was in the same location as u were waiting for one train to move to catch another both coming into the yard, there was this " Crazy Guy on a Bicycle" who talked the whole time about his brother was the Mayor and how much he hated the trains and how he'd kill me if i took his picture. Great memories.........can't wait to go back. Keep up the great work Danny and the drone footage and the education are amazing btw.

What a great show - thanks Danny.

I lived in a WATCO serviced town. It was the South Kansas and Oklahoma Line (SKOL) headquartered in Cherryvale Kansas. WATCO corporate headquarters is located in Pittsburg Kansas on West 3rd and North Walnut Streets. It is near the KCS Heavener and Pittsburg Subdivisions. West of Pittsburg Kansas lies the BNSF Afton Subdivision. This sub runs from the BNSF Cherokee Sub near the town of Afton Oklahoma to just south of Fort Scott Kansas where it becomes the BNSF Fort Scott Sub running into Kansas City Kansas/Missouri.

I've watched a lot of your videos and I think this one is your best one....ever. Your knowledge of where they go and how they get there along with your presentation of the video, makes it beyond interesting. Thanks for all the hard work!

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. LJL

Hi Danny. I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoy your style of railfan video. You are knowledgeable and your way of sharing that knowledge, just like a couple of guys sharing information, along with your mellow radio announcers voice make your videos a pleasure to watch.

Another great video Danny. Thanks for letting us see your trip.

Thanks, Danny. Here on the Union Pacific, Pacific Coast Line, Santa Barbara Sub, MP 405, only 1 freight per day, the local, 6 Metrolink commuters (3 south, 3 northbound) and a dozen or so Amtraks. There's a once-a-week Oilcan loaded southbound to the refinery, and the next day empties northbound to the well heads. Most of the traffic has shifted east through the San Joaquin route, or passes through here at night. Jon

Another great video Danny. Jacksonville is a great place to railfan.

Danny, I just started watching your videos and I love them. Very professional, great knowledge, and entertaining. I look forward to watching more of them!

Great footage. Your drone completes the video. Thanks Danny.

Love your videos! I grew up about 5 miles from the main East/west line that runs parallel to Beaver at. I saw so many freight trains and Amtrak growing up. You brought back some great memories. Thank you!

I love watching these videos you and Drayton make such good content both of you deserve more subscribers! Keep up the good work!

Great video. Nice to catch video of crew vans as well.

You know it's cold in flordia when you see that conductor exhale after climbing the locomotive and see steam come out of his mouth.

As usual, an excellent video. Thanks a lot.

I like the morning shots. The setting moon over the hazy trees was classic. Thanks for sharing.

I pass by Bush yard frequently. Great footage, wish I could get out to Jax more often!

Loved this one Danny ! Great footage !

Another enjoyable video Danny , thanks ! 👍🏻

That mechanical bell looked and sounded like a WCH model. CP here in Central Minnesota is known to upgrade flashers to LEDs and leave the old Safetran mech bells, as well. It definitely keeps things interesting. Meanwhile on BNSF, the real treat is finding an early GS e-bell, since they've all but removed all their mech bells

Good stuff , you’re a Trip Danny lol keep um coming ! Loved it!!!!👍🚂

Another fantastic video Danny. Great shots. Great commentary. Gotta watch those dead end though! Cheers.

Thanks for another excellent video!

Thanks for recommending this video to me. Great stuff!

Just a quick note. Your video was great and very informed as always. I love watching trains go by. I especially love the drone shots that you had they were done just right. Keep up the good work… Bye for now…

Your timing of explaing that Q455 was getting ready move again, and then the slack builds up right to that part of the train a split second after was _perfect_

Danny out! I love trains and love to ride the rail. Love your videos but sometimes I just watch them to head that catch phrase!!!! I love it! Always will be a fan and love your knowledge too of railroading. BIG FAN!!!!!!

Nice. Q032 rolls right by me. Nice to see it get under way from origin. Great narrating of the video as well. Q032 also crosses Edgewood Road here in Yardley PA

Danny, another great and informative video. This is exactly what is missing in most of the train videos on KZread; the narrative explaining the where and why of what we are seeing. I had no idea that A-B was doing this with their wastewater. What a great idea ! And so ecological they should advertise it - would be great PR. Thanks for sharing.
