Long Train Out of Tampa
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 апр 2020
- I snuck (sneaked?) out of the house on Saturday in hopes of catching something. I got a call from a friend with a tip that CSX was combining two of their big trains into one move. Here's what I discovered.
When you see the notification that Distant Signal is premiering, drop everything and watch!
lol yes!
Yup, everything....except money xD
EXACTLY!!
Heck yes!
agreed. always a better day.
Danny, I'm a conductor with CSX in NE Ohio. Home terminal is QD 173. The corona virus shut down so many factories, That is what killed our shipping. Thank you for these sir. Keep them coming!
Queensgate Yard?
Railfanning is the perfect hobby for quarantine: isolate yourself next to a railroad crossing in the middle nowhere, and you're all set! Great video as always!
Thank Dan- I like learning all the little known facts that you " teach " us.
I have been following your account for 2 ½ years now, and I have to thank you for your content. Coming from a very different railroading background (I work as a locomotive engineer in Italy), I found your videos very informative. Thank you from KP (kilometer-post) 147.48 (Verona Porta Nuova station) along the Milan-Venice railway line.
I know it's hard that go out and visit your friends I'm glad we can watch you
Excellent video! From one RUclipsr to another, I must say that I have learned a lot from your videos! I hope all the workers / companies in the railroad industry appreciate your hard work in putting out accurate, educational, and entertaining videos.
Love your videos.
Gotta be said, that was a superb bit of shunting, especially with the length. A fantastic crew.
I liked that one. A little of the conductor's job this time. Interesting.
Thank you Danny. You are a ray of sunshine during these dreary times. I really enjoy the way you incorporate the drone video into the show.
I bet I have seen 99% or more of you videos and love them.
Did NOT expect to see you here at all! Deeeeeeeeeecent
3:22 "And there's Danny…"
Be Surprised if ANYONE caught that.
He's like that one guy that goes to the same restaurant he's basically a regular trackside
@@RailPreserver2K That's an interesting thought.
nice!
Hard at age 70 to believe that here I sit at milepost ll4 of Amtrak's Empire Service line (CSX for freight), trying to hear "And there's Danny" at 3:22 on a cheapie phone. Okay, I guess I hear it. Maybe someone can tell me about the previous phrase. Is it "We got limping on the bottom"??? Or maybe "leaking"??? The best of us here in the Kearny Metropolitan Area actually love and appreciate this southeastern linguistic conspiracy to mystify us. After all we're the ones getting the orange juice. Fabulous video! I still have some sort of cousins in Piedmont region NC and northeastern Georgia, maybe Toccoa, btw. Thanks again!
@@michaelleighton6879 Yeah. I had headphones on, so I heard it pretty clear.
This was tremendous!! The only video I ever posted was last year when the Union Pacific Big Boy went through Andover, Minnesota. Your knowledge is tremendous. Thanks for the post. Best videos out there!!
I sit in front of the PC, play the video and watch and learn. I'm glad I discovered this channel. greetings from Chile
Absolutely Nothing Better than a Monster Mega Train. 👍 You do a Great job, Danny! 👍
Tropicana is shipping more juice then ever, but largely from the greatly expanded Ft. Pierce plant, which sends cars north to Jacksonville on the FEC, where they join up with CSX. Large number of oranges processed at the East coast plant are from S. America, this due to urban expansion into the groves and various Florida citrus diseases.
Thanks, Danny; no one does it better. So nice now to have some fresh content. Be safe!
I guess you could call that a "jack of all trains, master of none"? Really interesting consist, nice video as always.
Thanks for getting out and photographing some train action. More to look at while sitting at home. I imagine you didn't have too many social distancing complaints from the residents of the cemetery.
Miss you Danny!! we love you chap
You have the best narration of any railroad channel I have watched.
I only hope you understand how much of an inspiration you are to fellow railfans everywhere! You're humble, well informed, equipped and genuinely love what you do.
Great video as usual Danny. The only thing that would make it better for me, would be, seeing Chessie and Seaboard power on the lead end. 👍🇺🇸
Hard to believe that just two locomotives pulled that way cars without being in full "Notch 8" and a strained motor. Well done and I must complement your knowledge on the different rules of the FRA.
Great film Danny, very interesting and great to see the massive trains you guys run over there. Makes a change from the tiny little one's we see here in the UK.
Love the video. Brings back good memories for an ex southern pacific hoghead who misses doing exactly what's in your video. Thank you!
Thank you for pronouncing Kearny NJ correctly. I was born and raised in Kearny.
Excellent video. I like the narration as well 👍
Glad you comment on what the conducter is doing and what the purpose is to some of the actions taken. Gives a layman much better understanding.
Awesome job as usual Danny. I, too, am one of those guys that has watched all of your old videos. As a matter of fact, I was watching some old S.A.L. history videos and I heard an old familar voice. Checked the credits, and laughed to my self. Thanks for keeping us entertained.
Gordon O'Connor do you have a link?
No, sorry, I don't. But it was something like Seaboard Air Line Vol#1. Hope tha helps.
Hey Danny stay safe out there. Thanks for the new video. You need to keep at least 6 feet from a moving train or you stand the chance of catching something. Lol
Hello again Danny, while working a swing shift off the extra board at Yeoman, we used to build a big train similar to the one on this video. It required a crew on both ends of track 2, and a full eight hours to complete. Lots of down time waiting for our turn to move. Not a bad shift, time for supper cooked on a little grill the conductor built. Fun times.
I get excited every time I see videos of my home town. Thanks for the video.
I’m not seeing much interaction in comments but ...I enjoy the story. Danny knows so much inside information. Sad to see the Tropicana cars cluttered up with spray paint.
Hi Dan. Thanks for talking the time to video this train. Very interesting watching the cut 👍🏻 Take care buddy cheers Stevie 😎🇬🇧
I sometimes wonder why I watch these RR videos but given my childhood back in the late forties and early fifties, steam engines were still in use. I am from coal country in NE PA (Shamokin) where hard coal is still king and it is that coal hauling, by large trains powered by up to five engines with three in front and two pushing on the back, that got me addicted to trains. We could hear them coming on the Sunbury line a mile away and when they finally came into view less than fifty feet from me, I think my eyes were as big as the drivers wheels on the train! What a sound they made but sadly, in all the years that have passed, I have not been close to a steam engine pulling a hard load again. Well that's another one for the bucket list but at my age, the bucket seems to have a hole in it:) BTW, I have been to Steam Town in Scranton, PA and it's worth the visit! They even have a Big Boy parked there....
Danny as far as I’m concerned your work of making videos is a crucial thing to keep all of us entertained so that we all don’t go stir crazy keep up the good work and wish you had more time with the day so you could crank out more videos for us sheltering in place people have a good day bye-bye
Great video and catch! Always neat seeing an intermodal train combined with other traffic like this, especially with a mixed freight like this.
Danny keep up the good work I enjoy all your videos and I'm going to pass this on to a friend of mine on Friday when I see him he's going to like watching your videos he is a real fan just like me you keep up the good work stay safe may the Lord's blessings be with you may the good Lord take a liking to you can you be safe take care for now and keep up the good work I enjoy your videos
Answered many questions on how trains are put together. Lets hear some great train horns.
I've been looking for videos like these for a few years. I'm glad the mystical algorithm finally recommended you to me!
Thank You for going out and sharing your time and videos with all of us, after all, you are social distancing, even if you're not at home !
Great video! You got me started into flying drones to get some real different shots. Keep up the great work
I needed this Danny, thanks for posting this. Also always exciting to see another video from you
Appreciate the mix of drone and line side shots! Excellent and informative narration and editing. As a former resident of North Port, makes me happy to stay plugged in to SW FL rail activity. Thanks for taking all the time and trouble to create your videos and then to share them with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great as usual. Excellent video Danny.
I cannot thank you enough Danny for you insight, camera footage and just plain train information for us train enthusiasts. You're a reach champ. But put your mask on brother!! We care about your health!!
It's kinda amazing with trains getting longer & longer that they don't come up with a way to carry an ATV or something for the conductor.
Nice show,we need to take our mind off of these times,thanks !
Thanks for the great video and drone shots Danny. I always look forward to them, especially now being stuck at home. If you get locked up while sneaking out to make your fans another video, let us know, a bunch of us will get together and throw your bail. Stay safe, we want you around for a long time. Don in nh.
Thank you sir for another exceptional video! Always educational and fun to watch. I am re-watching ALL of your videos!!
Really enjoyed this video Danny. Have a great insight into what my brother’s work life has been like these past 25 years in Jacksonville.
Agree about Tropicana. Tropicana Grovestand w/pulp has been my favorite orange juice for the last 25 years. I buy the gallon. Dont care about the price. Great video as usual.
Always a great day when you drop another video, Danny! Great as always!!
Like the videos. My father worked out of Wildwood. He was there when it was Seaboard. He retired in 1993 after 45 years.
Wow! Wish I could have seen Wildwood back in those days!
Great videos! I love seeing big intermodal out on the railroad.
Thanks Dan, we used to come to Florida ( Anna Maria Island ) pre-pandemic and the only trains I seem to see were the Tropicana Trains around Bradenton, more recently we travelled further and Flagstaff Az is a favourite. Many Thanks for your explanations. Nigel.
Love the videos! Arizona native who loves the Flagstaff Depot love cams. I enjoy the information you provide as I am learning so much
Greetings from the UK!
Really enjoy your videos. They are a delight to watch; excellent filming, narration, production and editing - love the way you include drone and lineside camera cuts together. Very slick!
Thanks for breaking lockdown rules to bring us this one.
Looking forward to seeing some more from you, whenever that will be.
Stay safe, Mr Harmon.
Oh, and please wear your seatbelt when you are chasing...!
Im a railroader and just love these videos.
Nice one Dan keep up the good work. Thank you for taking the time. In joy what you do. Out.
Wonderful, informative video. Thanks a lot.
This is top quality content. Danny, you’re amazing. Thank you. Great story on this one! Be safe!
Excellent video. I really enjoy your comments. Very informative.
So welcome to view your video! Thank you for including us. Always such a good job!!
Danny. You are doing a great job. There are something I don't quite understand. The one is how to identify which is Main one and two.
The other is north south east west bound. Thank you for you hard work.
This is Robert over and out.
Great video Danny. I thou would be much longer as well. Two six axle locos and 129 cars based on the axle count is still a big train. I like the little trivia you tossed in about the different sides of a train. Very interesting. Now go home and wash your hands, LOL. Cheers.
Thank you for the "fix", Danny!!
Thanks Danny, I have been binge watching these videos ever since i watched the first one, great content, cheers, Alan, from Australia.
Tropicana needs to start sponsoring your videos as I now purchase their orange juice on a regular basis from seeing them go by on your channel. Calgary Alberta here.
Nice video. Love seeing the tops of those cars- very useful for weathering.
Thanks for shooting and editing the videos you put up on your channel. It helps pass the time and something to look forward to.
Another great video. I wanted to be an engineer before I ever wanted to be a pilot. I went the aviation route instead, so I'm not terribly well versed in railroad ops. Your videos are helping to remedy that. My son and I love it. Maybe we'll run into you one day at Folkston. Thanks again.
Very nice video! Really liked the perspective from the conductor's job.
I always look forward to seeing your videos. It's one of the bright spots on RUclips !
Thank you again. Another well shot video. I always look forward to your new videos.
I love reading the names from the Cryo-Trans refrigerated boxcars when I see those. Awesome stuff as always, Danny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Danny, you are a ray of sunshine on a gloomy day. Literally. We're expecting rain, here, in Kalispell MT.
Stay healthy. Stay safe. Hope to see you on the high iron, again, soon. Out!
Greetings to Kalispell from Omaha!
Thanks again for another great video Mr.Harmon,hopefully you and yours are safe and healthy.
Love the videos. Information, information, information. Love it! Learned alot watching your videos.
Absolutely brilliant, I look forward to every video
For a doubled train, I would’ve thought it would be longer than 8139 feet. Up on the CP, intermodals and manifests can push 15K feet... there was a 17k foot UP manifest not too long ago. Great video, danny!
Always great content and editing. Please don’t ever change your intro with Amtrak dropping the clear signal on the search light, it’s so timeless!!!!
Thank you for the long train out of Tampa. I found your videos about a month ago and you sir are THE BEST . I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Keep on keeping on. I have learned a lot from you. Thanks again from the Upstate of South Carolina. 🚆
"Upstate of South Carolina"??? That's the first time I've ever heard that. You did transplant down there from New York, did you???? Ha! Many thanks for your kind comments.
@@distantsignal LOL, not from New York. The upstate of South Carolina is a term I heard when I moved from Texas. It's all the counties that boarder NC. 😊
Thanks for the video Danny. Love them all. Stay healthy and keep those cameras rolling.
Excellent video yet again and very interesting Danny. All the best from Scotland and stay safe.👍
Great work Danny. Liked it so much I watched it again a week later.
As always, 1st Class. Stay safe...
Absolutely made my day lol. Yes I have worn out RUclips since mid march lol. Looks like it will be at least may 4th before I get to go back to work lol. Keep them coming and you and your family stay safe
So glad to see a new video from you Danny! I had been wondering and considering the times hoping for the best for you and your family.
As always, and awesome video. Thank you Danny.
Danny ! You rock ! Thank You for the uplifting train video !!!!!!!!!!
As always - a classy and well done video presentation with valuable commentary!!!!! Danny - you are a PRO!!!!
Thank you kindly, Larry.
Nice! You always get some wonderful footage. Excellent camera work. And nice repreive from the you know what that You Tube does not having mentioned. We need to tend to our mental health as well and that requires a little fresh air and sun shine!
Fun fact y’all he’s the narrator for all girls garage. Great show!
Thanks Danny, really enjoy all the yard work stuff. BTW nice hat.
Thank You for all your excellent videos. Love the commentary, it's obvious you enjoy doing these. Once again, Thank You!
Thanks Danny always look forward to your videos especially in these times.
Wow. I live much north of Florida (NJ) and I see a lot of CSX action but I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing!
ALWAYS such fascinating and wonderful you found anything during the slowdown!
Long time subscriber. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Thank you Danny for another interesting great video. Your videos take me away from all the sad news going on. Keep up you great videos, and stay safe and healthy.
