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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
How does the conductor get back to the head end?? And two locos was enough power for that massive train?! I can’t understand how just two locomotives can pull all that weight?!? Mind boggling
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
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.
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.
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!
Hi Danny, Thanks for all the well done and informative videos. Yes, this last one was certainly welcomed by this home shelterer. My father used to work w. the Chicago & NW back in the late 60's and early 70's. Your videos remind of so much railroad knowledge that I have lost over the years from disuse.
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.
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.
Thanks for these great videos, Danny. I have a young daughter (18 months), and she loves watching your content with me. Almost every morning she says "Choo-choo train - see it!" That's when I start up one of your videos. Just know that you're making a little girl, and her dad, real happy!
Hi Danny , another great show from DS !! When I was in the US , I made sure I got some Tropicana Juice , as I have a dozen of their older reefers on the layout! I have to agree, it was a great tasting juice and I brought an empty bottle back with me to Australia..LOL. Nice drone footage of the yard too ..if you tried to fly over a yard here , you'd be in big trouble! Not that we have a lot of interesting yards any way! Thanks for another great show SIr. Cheers Gregg.
To me, freight trains are usually boring unless they have a story behind them. Thank you, Danny, for giving us the stories behind today's freight trains.
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...!
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!!
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
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.
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. 😊
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.
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.
You sir, are a fantastic narrator. Every single video is of professional quality, love them all. Your editing skill is only paralleled by your knowledge of Florida trains. Salute from PA.
Thanks for sneaking away from the wife to provide us another video, Danny! We appreciate all you have done for the last dozen or so years. Have not watched all of your videos yet, but I am sure making an effort with nothing else much to do. Also taking in some live trains through Virtual Railfan all around the nation!
Thank you for the video. Yes youtube content creators have become very important to so many people in the last 4 to 6 weeks. In Oregon we started governor ordered lock down March 23. And we will be there until April 30th. Just about 6 weeks. My wife and I appreciate all the time the creators have produced.
Danny it’s so good to see you out there doing what you do best. You are an inspiration. I thoroughly enjoy these videos. This one was another great video. Thanks Danny. Have a good one. 👍👍👍❤️
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.
I guess times have changed. In my day inside the yard limit sign, switch crews did the work. Here I see the road crew making up the train in the yard. As a brakeman on the local on the SP's Hearne sub, we picked up our train at Englewood and did no work until we were outside the yard limit sign, which in those days was somewhere past Campbell Road on what is now the old Hempstead Highway. We coupled the engines in the yard, but yardmen coupled the air hose and another boarded the caboose and checked the air pressure.
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!
Danny, another great job. I never cease to be amazed at how professional and informative your videos are. I'm not sure I've watch everyone, but I haven't missed many. Keep up the great rail fanning work!!
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.
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.
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!
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?
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.
So welcome to view your video! Thank you for including us. Always such a good job!!
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.
Thanks, Danny; no one does it better. So nice now to have some fresh content. Be safe!
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.
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.
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.
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
Gotta be said, that was a superb bit of shunting, especially with the length. A fantastic crew.
I know it's hard that go out and visit your friends I'm glad we can watch you
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.
Miss you Danny!! we love you chap
I guess you could call that a "jack of all trains, master of none"? Really interesting consist, nice video as always.
Hi Dan. Thanks for talking the time to video this train. Very interesting watching the cut 👍🏻 Take care buddy cheers Stevie 😎🇬🇧
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.
I've been looking for videos like these for a few years. I'm glad the mystical algorithm finally recommended you to me!
How does the conductor get back to the head end?? And two locos was enough power for that massive train?! I can’t understand how just two locomotives can pull all that weight?!? Mind boggling
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.
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
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 !
Im a railroader and just love these videos.

Absolutely Nothing Better than a Monster Mega Train. 👍 You do a Great job, Danny! 👍
Love the video. Brings back good memories for an ex southern pacific hoghead who misses doing exactly what's in your video. Thank you!
I get excited every time I see videos of my home town. Thanks for the video.
Hi Danny,
Thanks for all the well done and informative videos. Yes, this last one was certainly welcomed by this home shelterer. My father used to work w. the Chicago & NW back in the late 60's and early 70's. Your videos remind of so much railroad knowledge that I have lost over the years from disuse.
I liked that one. A little of the conductor's job this time. Interesting.
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.

I have viewed many rail fan videos. I love your concise video shots, reporting on train information, and professional presentation.
Great job!

Answered many questions on how trains are put together. Lets hear some great train horns.
Thank you sir for another exceptional video! Always educational and fun to watch. I am re-watching ALL of your videos!!
Thank you for pronouncing Kearny NJ correctly. I was born and raised in Kearny.
Excellent video. I like the narration as well 👍
Very nice video! Really liked the perspective from the conductor's job.
Thanks for shooting and editing the videos you put up on your channel. It helps pass the time and something to look forward to.
To me, freight trains are usually boring unless they have a story behind them. Thank you, Danny, for giving us the stories behind today's freight trains.
I needed this Danny, thanks for posting this. Also always exciting to see another video from you
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...!
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. 👍🇺🇸
Thank you for the "fix", Danny!!
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.
Always a great day when you drop another video, Danny! Great as always!!
i'm a trucker that cant see my family or friends because they are on lock down. your videos are keeping me sane through this madness. thank you.
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!!

The other is north south east west bound. Thank you for you hard work.
This is Robert over and out.
Great as usual. Excellent video Danny.
Nice one Dan keep up the good work. Thank you for taking the time. In joy what you do. Out.

Thanks Danny, I have been binge watching these videos ever since i watched the first one, great content, cheers, Alan, from Australia.
This is top quality content. Danny, you’re amazing. Thank you. Great story on this one! Be safe!
Love the videos! Arizona native who loves the Flagstaff Depot love cams. I enjoy the information you provide as I am learning so much
You sir, are a fantastic narrator. Every single video is of professional quality, love them all. Your editing skill is only paralleled by your knowledge of Florida trains. Salute from PA.
I always look forward to seeing your videos. It's one of the bright spots on RUclips !
Thanks for keeping us in videos during the stay at home period - always appreciate them!
Danny, PLEASE keep making more videos; I miss seeing your train videos. Always the best.. stay safe
I have friends buried in that cemetery. All from Lakeland, Plant City, and farms around the area. Old is bad. Death is worse. R.S.
Thanks for sneaking away from the wife to provide us another video, Danny! We appreciate all you have done for the last dozen or so years. Have not watched all of your videos yet, but I am sure making an effort with nothing else much to do. Also taking in some live trains through Virtual Railfan all around the nation!
Nice video. Love seeing the tops of those cars- very useful for weathering.
Thank you for the video. Yes youtube content creators have become very important to so many people in the last 4 to 6 weeks. In Oregon we started governor ordered lock down March 23. And we will be there until April 30th. Just about 6 weeks. My wife and I appreciate all the time the creators have produced.
Thanks again for another great video Mr.Harmon,hopefully you and yours are safe and healthy.
Great video! You got me started into flying drones to get some real different shots. Keep up the great work
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!
Thanks Dannie Alway enjoy watching. Stay Safe.
That’s crazy the locomotives are a mile away from where they started smh mind boggling
Danny it’s so good to see you out there doing what you do best. You are an inspiration. I thoroughly enjoy these videos. This one was another great video. Thanks Danny. Have a good one. 👍👍👍❤️
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 videos! I love seeing big intermodal out on the railroad.
I love reading the names from the Cryo-Trans refrigerated boxcars when I see those. Awesome stuff as always, Danny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Thank you again. Another well shot video. I always look forward to your new videos.
Great work Danny. Liked it so much I watched it again a week later.

Excellent video. I really enjoy your comments. Very informative.
Again another calm, relaxing few minutes. Good shooting, effects, info. No schoolboy drama like the other two. Love your work.
Danny, another great job. I never cease to be amazed at how professional and informative your videos are. I'm not sure I've watch everyone, but I haven't missed many. Keep up the great rail fanning work!!
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!!!!
I've never seen the Bone Valley flip-top hoppers before, I also liked the conductor holding his radio up in the air.
As always - a classy and well done video presentation with valuable commentary!!!!! Danny - you are a PRO!!!!
Thank you kindly, Larry.
