You are the first person that describes in easy to understand layman terms, about railroading. Your narration is clear and precise. Its easy to follow along as you describe Trains, Signals, Tracks and Switches. And your camera video is very clear. Its almost like we are on site with you. My kids and I look forward to your videos, Thank You

Watching these videos has sparked my interest in rail fanning again. Thank you Mr. Danny.

I have to say Distant Signal you are a natural when it comes to being the narrator for your own videos, excellent videos and excellent video quality, sharp and clear HD videos, keep up the great work!!!! I wish I could narrate like you do!! I'm learning quite a bit by watching your videos on these trains, very interesting!!!!!

The nice bit about meets on single-track lines is that you know for sure that one train won't pass behind the other one, as will happen in double-track country. Once in a while I'll catch one here, and they're always interesting to see

I wouldn't mind seeing more of these, the production is absolutely brilliant. I love the information you provide and how you deliver it.

It was surely serendipitous that the crews had their trains moving at just the right speed to facilitate this passing manoeuvre.

Yay. These are probably the best railfan videos here on KZread.

I liked the short juice trains that would pass through here. Sometimes you could catch them with one engine and the crews would slam it into notch 8 just to show off.

East American Trains I know what you’re talking about I’ve seen several juice trains come through Jacksonville, the crews would slam their Es44ac locos into notch 8 and blow their horns to show off. NS has done this same practice also I had caught a really short grain train it was about 14 cars maybe. The engineer see me there filming he kicked his SD70Ace’s into notch 8 and blowed the horn, and a few seconds later he was gone.

Hello Mr. Harmon , I have just recently came across your videos and have to say that I Really have enjoyed everyone that I have had the Pleasure to watch,which has been many..I grew up in Bostic N.C. just about 1 1/2 miles from the Train yard which was a Clinchfield and Seaboard Coast Line Yard, L&N, N&W, also along with B&O and C&O, was able to spend lots of time in the yard dure to my Uncle (Conductor)who worked for the Clinchfield RR and 2 neighbors and also my Great Uncle (Shop Foreman) worked for the Clinchfield. I Was able to ride on the local switcher once in a while and was able to ride in a caboose almost from Bostic N.C. to Irwin Tn. back in the 60's. Great times, walked many a rails and had many a coin mashed on the rails as a kid.I love you videos and have always been a Fan of Seaboard and Clinchfield , L&N and all their heritage. Gash I miss those days at the Bostic Yard setting in the yard house. I am going to hopefully get to see all your videos that i can find and just had to let you know at my young age of 62 i plan on getting this accomplished with my free time for sure...Have a Great Day and ...........................Happy Trails

I love that there's harmony with Danny Harmon's videos he knows how to make them work and come together in the best possible way Danny if I ever come to Florida again someday I hope to meet you man you're about as professional as they come when it comes to rail fans

Nice video! Can definitely agree it’s always nice to get a meet at a siding. Guarantees more than 1 train. If I get lucky they’ll run someone in for 2-3 in the opposite direction. PSR has made it difficult with train well exceeding the siding limits though.

Your videos are worthy of the pros!

Great information...great video . Occasionally I will get stopped in Ft.Pierce at the RR crossing when they are bringing the Tropicana juice cars on to the mainline from the juice plant. Keep up the good work.👍👍👍👍

I've been binge watching all of your videos over the past few weeks (sometimes staying up all night) and I've got to tell you that you've inspired me to stop being an armchair railfan and get out there to see 'em live. I just purchased a handheld scanner and I want to get out there to hear some road talk. I live in Nashville so it seems that Radnor Yard will be my first stop. Thanks for your great videos and keep up the good work out there on the high iron! 🚂

Awesome video Danny. And I've never really thought about that medium approach signal, but yes you do get to see two trains at the same location. There's a spot in between Manchester and Lagrange, Ga where trains come in and out of Atlanta,Ga and Birmingham,Ala where they have to go through Lagrange to get to Manchester, and the signal mast is maybe 200 yards from that crossing, and every time there's a medium approach, there's always another train on the siding.

Thanks James. I would love to crank out more videos, but my time is limited right now. Hopefully I can do more in the future.

Good stuff! The precision switching theory has stopped the five hundred million dollar UP construction of Brazos Yard in Mumford, Texas, which is my old stomping grounds. The folks in charge said they will use the money for longer sidings for longer trains, so who knows what will happen to the proposed gravity yard. It was a long bitter battle in the Brazos Valley between land owners and UP, so it's bittersweet that even though grading, leveling, etc. has been done, now it's at a standstill. So much for the 250 permanent jobs projected once the gravity yard was completed.

Great catch Danny, Thanks.

I've watched a lot of railfan videos but these are the best. I really appreciate the narration. Makes all the difference.

Really enjoyed the video. American signalling seems a bit complicated to an outsider. (I'm an apprentice signal technician from Perth, Western Australia), so it's good to have the background notes as to what the signals are actually telling the driver.

Love to see that local stuff. Sure, would love to see more meets! Nice vid as always.

Danny, you are so knowledgeable, and the background information you deliver is very helpful. What a great voice you have. Radio or television quality!

Excellent Video!

Another great video, keep them coming Danny!

Always enjoy your videos, well made and informative. Keep 'em comin'!

Love your videos!! You do an outstanding job!!

Takes so much expertise to run those trains safely. One crash is one too many.

Nice Danny! Love the single track routes in my area: IN, MI, & OH

Great job! I find your videos very inspirational as I try to grow my multi-use channel with my railfanning videos.

Great informative video

Great video, Danny! Simply awesome lashup on Q453.

Excellent video Danny... Keep them coming -Austin

Ya hoo new video ! Love it keep up the good work .

If your wondering Danny the answer is YES. We do want to more of these meets in your archive's, even if you have some from the 90'S go right ahead & upload them when you get the chance. On a side note, A 7-CAR juice train? I've go to admit things aren't what they use to back in the days when this train & it's 1997 inaugurated sister K-652 use to be 60-70 cars long of ORANGE CARS.

I used to catch the juice train southbound (rr east) down the Capitol Sub through MD, when the cars were orange, there were lots of 'em, and the units were in notch 8.

Excellent catches Danny!!!

Distant Signal would love to see a video on that topic. One wonders is it really as beneficial as it’s made out to be

I live about a mile from the UP Lufkin Sub out of Shreveport, La by the passing siding in Keithville, La and it's the same scenario there every-time I take the trash to the compactor near there. Always a northbound train there in the siding waiting for a southbound to pass. At home I can hear traffic on that line on my work radio.

As for the juice train taking the siding, I really thought it was because it was a much shorter train than Q-453.

@distantsignal

5 жыл бұрын

That's right. Shorter, lighter train usually takes the siding. Not always but generally so. Plus the juice train had two big GEVO's pulling. With seven cars that's virtually rocket power!

Nice vid Danny 👍

Just wanted to point out that recording/filming power# (numbers) of main trains at least, would be great. There are a lot of people who would wanted to know engine numbers so could keep track of what is going on with motive power & which is it you filmed! All the rest is like no other You Tube rail fan! Congratulations and best wishes from Goran 🖖 Europe!

I think you could make some serious money with your narration voice and ability. Great job!

Sweet Vid!

Great video! If your ever back in Tallahassee, let me know. Would love to do some railfanning with you.

Another nice video, Danny. I wish you would use your pull with CSX to put coal trains back on the Blue Ridge Sub so we could get back to a normal volume of trains here near Spartanburg, SC on the Spartanburg Sub. We're down to 2 trains a day here.
