danny, i watch other train videos like i'm sure we all do.........but NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY does a video like you. your comments and knowledge are remarkable and make all your videos extremely interesting. i don't know why more guys don't copy your style. maybe some do but they don't come close.......keep these switching videos coming, they are really interesting when done in your inimitable style. thanks for the great work.

Thank you so much, Yard! I like doing these and enjoy putting the extra time into them. Working in my free time, it takes about ten days to produce one of these videos

I love the Amtrak knocking down the searchlight in the intro

That's a pro railfan tip right there. Know where you are in relation to those defect detectors so you know whether the train is coming to you or already past you.

Such a great job loaded with great commentary and professional camera work. Always a joy to watch your videos.

Great shot at Plant City Crossing with your drone. I love those videos from above. You have made my rail fanning so much more productive with your teaching videos. i know where to go, what to look and listen for. Have a good day.

The drone is a nice add, and explaining why they do things the way they do is appreciated ... Detail is everything! (N, HO, and of course Full Scale - TCRX)

Very cool drone footage, excellent video as always. Thanks Danny.

Wow! ... What a great drone shot!! 👏👍

This guy should do voice over work for commercials. His voice sounds very good to listen to.

I just noticed in your intro how the signal changes from Green to Red, honestly it made my day

Danny, I absolutely love these switching videos. I was so thrilled to see this come up in my feed. I would love to see more switching videos such as this!!

The invention of photographic drones has revolutionized videography, this is just so nice to watch! Great job!

Yes, I saw my first DJI drone almost 5 years ago. A guy was flying it in a big city parking lot. I knew instantly I had to have one of those! I'm now on my 3rd one. The camera drone adds a perspective to railfan videography no one dreamed of 20 years ago.

I subscribed a long time ago and I must say your videos keep getting better all the time! I absolutely love the information and the detail you put in every one! Please keep them coming!!

Great video Danny. I particularly like the way that you switch between ground shots and drone shots. Keep up the excellent work that you do.

Good drone shot at the end.

All your videos are such high quality, it's actually amazing to see. You also have a great voice, like a professional narrator or newscaster. Keep up the great work!

I LOVE your videos! They always tell a great story. Those drone shots are fantastic!

For what it's worth, CSX's SD50s at least have long been de-rated to 3000hp, the same as a SD40-2. Would have been one slow boat to China on that local, too... no ditch lights on the long-hood end means 20mph over crossings. Which depending on the density of crossings can make for a train that's effectively limited to 20mph all the time.

Love the drone shots. Great new perspective on trains.

Great video, audio, & narration!

I never get tired of those drone Shots! Great viddeo

Excellent! The use of a drone adds so much more depth to your videos. Keep up the good work!

Always looking forward to your videos, they are the best!

Always like your videos! Please keep them coming!

I love the professional quality of your videos! Not many rail fanning channels can have such high quality! Keep up the good work!

Great aerial shots again, Danny. I really enjoy your videos.

Great shots of trains Danny 👍🏻 The best bit of your videos is the commentary so I understand what’s going on!! It’s better than just watching long videos of trains rolling by not knowing what there doing!! Thanks Stevie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Another great video. Glad to see you. Thanks.

Nice explanations. A couple of minor points. Anytime equipment is left sitting - main, siding, yard, etc. - at least one handbrake has to be set and usually 10%, more depending on the grade and any local special instructions (there are FRA requirements for grades exceeding 1% and 2%). Good call on the car being used as a backstop, that is exactly what they were doing. Also, in my experience, CSX never had a preference for which way engines faced, as long as the crew didn't complain loudly, and the dispatcher was willing to let them turn it if a place was available and traffic wasn't too heavy. It was pretty much just take it the way it sits. Personal note, SD50's were the first engines I ran as an engineer trainee. Big cabs, not cramped up at all. Plenty of power for working an automobile ramp, which is where I was training at - Jessup, MD, before everything was converted to remote control. I know they were not considered a successful model, but I enjoyed running them.

I love those platforms on those tank cars, very comfortable imo.

Another great video Danny! You have really gotten good at using that drone. Getting a look at the loads from that perspective is great!

The drone views add a lot to the video. Well done!

Drone shots are great. Good production. Thanks.

Danny, as always, great video! I learn new stuff every time you release a video which works out to about 12 new things I learn from you every year! 😀: :😎

Interesting and well presented thanks from Orlando

Liked the video. Narrative much appreciated. Thanks.

It's quite sad that your Christmas video got taken down! :( That was one of my favorite on your channel! Still, thank you for the quality content! I love how you get better and better as a pilot in every video!

You're getting good at the drone! Another good one!

It's really nice from the drone to see just what tracks look like Danny, especially a diamond. Yet another great video! Greetings from Canada.

So awesome Danny ! Your work is superb and now to top it off you use a drone ! Thanks for sharing your fantastic video :-))

Great stuff enjoy your work.

Another great video Danny!!!!

Great video, Danny!

You have a good voice for recording. Thanks for sharing.

Getting real good with the drone work there... and love that “big band” sounding horn on the coal train in its tone and Key it is in. Thanks as always and hope all is well...

I love these. Reminds me of the VHS tapes i used to watch about trains.

Excellent video

CSX continues to change up their local operations. O713 is gone, replaced by either A784 or A864 in the middle of the weekday night. This summer they’ve also pushed back Q604’s departure time by 5 hours. Another nice video.

Another great video !!!!

Another awesome video

Great video(s). You almost make me want to go back to railfanning. :)

Superb as always

It seems in this day in age, GE widecabs are the norm for road trains. The spartan cabs, four and six axle varieties, seem to be common for any local run. Though with how long they are, I do question the effectiveness of running a LHF SD50

You do a fine job.

Nice work Danny! Now I want a cocktail. ;)

Thank you for the reply,appreciate it

Nice video first ever seeing it from a drone angle nice view

Thank you for sharing

Thanks Danny. Nice trains.

Sweet video brother

I am an engineer and I think u know more about trains than I do😁😁

Nice video enjoyed watching.

Like the videos, and really like how well you identify where the location is. I can find them on Google Maps and see the overhead view.

Great story again

Cool post, always like to see action on a diamond.

Cool video. Very informative too. - Drew

Nice one!

I seem to remember seeing the Tropicana pass an autorack several years ago at the Valrico siding, back at the little Miller Rd. crossing. They must have been fairly short trains.

Very nice!

Nice switching action.

Awesome video! I'm guessing you talked with a member of the crew about details of the operation. Either way, I enjoy watching switching more than any other aspect of freight railroading. If you're into them, you can find GP50s working the yards and hauling loads for the ATN in Alabama.
