  • Here's a mashup of what I got at Folkston RAILWATCH 2021. I didn't get everything because I was talking to so many old and new friends. I had a fantastic time and cannot wait until WINTERWATCH in December.

    I like your narration Danny. Not being up to speed on all things "trains", I find it useful. Many rail fans don't talk and it leaves us wondering what we are watching. Having spent 30 years in the trucking industry and seeing all sorts of railroads, it is nice to learn about the backbone of this nation.

    I find it interesting that people like to watch trains...as a kid, I enjoyed watching them, but once during my teenage years, one of my friends was driving and pulled across a set of tracks in front of a very slow moving train. We may have been 50ft from the engine but when the engineer blew that horn it scared everyone in that car so badly that we were all ready to go home and change our clothes. I grew out of watching trains, then we took Amtrak from Chicago to Emeryville, CA...and an interest was reborn. Anyway, I enjoy your videos and enjoy your commentary. One thing that plagues RUclips are videos that are produced without a lot of thought to what the presenter is going to say; it drives me crazy. Thankfully, you research your videos well, and you provide an intelligent narrative.

    Danny Harmon and Distant Dignal. It really good to see and to show that this railfanning is definitely multicultural. I wish I had known more about this when I was younger. But it wasn't till after I retired I took a serious interest in it. I would love to make it to Folkson one day maybe to the next Winterfest. I think it be worth it coming from Kentucky.
