Well, the broadcaster's voice is how I make my living. Anyone can do it, trust me. All you have to have is the desire. The train knowledge comes from love of the hobby as does the video editing. Your kind comments are much appreciated. DH
If you are wondering how the bridge surfaces at the Crosstown Connector at 0:50 at FL 60 are hanging there, it is practically easy: Inside the hollow tube where the roadway rides above, there are a series of cables that hold the segments in place that go to the nearest support column. Once the segments are joined additional cabling is installed to hold the segments in place; construction is practically the same as the present 1987 Sunshine Skyway. Great video by the way!
Great video! I see O700 at least twice a week if not more, and have several videos of it. Of course it helps when you commute along busch blvd every day! Really enjoyed it and faved!!!
I knew that was concrete segmental construction, like the Skyway. Just never seen it done before. Did not know it was cables doing the binding. It's really stunning to see it in progress. Thanks for that info. DH
Thankx again Danny nice work ,but I sure miss all the older roads as a long time Santa Fe modeler . All the great stuff is long gone I guess we got about five road name's left.
Wow! What I would give for your broadcaster's voice! Also, I'm fascinated by your knowledge of train operations and your superb videography. I could watch this kind of production all day.
this is my side of town. I see this train ALL the time :) Thanks for uploading this! it's cool to see this in action (it's a rare ocassion I see this train en route to either the distribution OR to downtown)
Great catch on the 'private varnish' behind AMTRAK. While you might want to ride one to Miami, my dream involves *owning* a Vista Dome and roaming North America as the spirit moves me... Fantastic video, sir. Cheers!
Looks like I missed this one back when it was uploaded. I liked this one a lot, a true no-nonsense approach to the hobby we all love that was well thought out and well produced. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the randoms you've got coming along on the edit table.
Danny your videos are some of the best I have seen on RUclips. You are an excellent presenter and your information is quite interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I concur with Aaron (csxboy 187) near Drew park is a rough place to be at after dark, I also railfanned the Clearwater Sub from Largo to Tampa, Clearwater and St. Pete are both rough as well even in the day, good work Mr. Harmon
Hello Danny. You have some really nice narration skills, great videos and great train captures too. 6:15 great to see LA Rail PVs out all the way in Tampa. May visit some places like Plant City and Orlando in the near future.
it was good to see 6900 and slug, I serviced and done 92 day on that unit , I dont know how many times over the years at winston shop, witch is now closed I heard
Any other videos of the former Tampa Northern or the current Clearwater sub? In particular curious to see the North end of the line not to familiar with this route. Also any footage of a local switching the brewery at Busch Gardens before was torn torn and tracks removed, any thing in St. Pete?
Interesting that 2315 is a road slug and seems permanently hooked to that 6900. I thought it was weird that it didn't have any radiator vents so I went and looked up what it was.
Awesome Chase Danny on CSXT O700 really enjoyed it. You were in my neck of the woods near drew park I live only 1 mile away from that area. Its not a great place to be at when its night time just a rough place to be at. Great video all around Danny. I enjoyed it! Aaron Van Amburg
It's fun seeing parts of Tampa. I know the city well, but not the rail lines. I've seen one of those ballast cleaning machines working here in Kentucky on the old L&N main, now CSX Louisville division main line sub. Pretty cool. But, Danny....did you run that crossing signal? Of all people. Smh. Great video. You do such a great job of narration with great shots.
no problem, you should come up to michigan sometime and i can show you some good spots to catch trains. btw is lakeland getting track upgrades because i see new ballast has been layed for the second main line track?
Don't feel bad Danny. I have gotten thrown out of Winston yard and I wasn't even taking videos. I called Katch and he said best to stay out nowdays because of the new terrorism and safety rules. That sure sucks because Winston was a good place to watch trains.
Hi Mike: Did you mean June 1st? If you're shipping out Oct 1st, I'll definitely have a few new videos done by then. Good luck in boot camp and.... thanks for your service. DH
I really enjoy watching and listening to you. You catch some nice video of some really old rolling stock. Was wondering have you or are you a radio or T.V. voice? Your voice is so smooth and easy to listen to.
I use to work on one of those railvacs they are noisy and dusty machines. They are desgiened to suck out mud spots and help with cut in and cut out a TLM
Danny anytime you want to go rail fanning up here in North Florida (near Waldo, Starke, Anthony etc) Let me know! Would love to share some track and trains with you!
I haven't chased any locals, but a lot of them near me are chaseable and have a lot of potential, given nobody gives a shit about getting them on these spurs
My hat's off to you some of these crossing don't look like your Sunday go to meeting hangout places. You've got your closed switching tower with graffiti with a lot of desolated places. Then there was the couch there on the side of one street, but I guess you are going to find a degree of urban decay in every city. Hey we even have it in our city. I know what you mean about chasing locals. We have short line that runs on ex TC, exL&N, exCSX and you never know when they're coming through. They have to work around morning and afternoon commuter rail. They often haul crushed stone into the city as well as sand for asphalt paving. It's as if they have their own class one railroad though they interchange with CSX and terminate about four or five counties east of Nashville. I've watched them go from a rag tag bunch GE U25s to all Dash 8s all with four axle configurations.
Union Pacific Fan slugs have no engine, therefore they do not need a radiator, and they have a cab so the engineer can control the "mother" unit from the slug
If I had too much money and could afford my own private rail car I'd be coupled in right behind them. Call me pathetic if you must but I'd have my OWN railcar! :-P

After 7 years, still a great video!
Now that's interesting. I did not know they could swap cabs like that. Very cool.
Thanks!
DH
Thanks Danny. I'm always amazed how interested I am, in South Western Florida Rail Operations.
Blessings to you,
R.B.

Yes, National Train Day has become Tampa's annual railfan meeting. I try not to miss it.

I bet they a few horn shows alot when you see the same train

Thank YOU Mr. Bryant.
Thanks for the ride and the information. Great job.
Superb as always Danny! Looking forward to the next installment.

These videos are just too cool!

Just saw Salisbury Beach and Pacific Sands in Grand Central Terminal for National Train Day. There was a very nice layout of private varnish there.
Muy buen vídeo excelente. Gracias pir el trabajo
I've noticed that in some videos its all CSX and Amtrak trains, but in others see a UP or BNSF train in them. But, again, I like that.
Hello Danny. You have some really nice narration skills, great videos and great train captures too. 6:15 great to see LA Rail PVs out all the way in Tampa. May visit some places like Plant City and Orlando in the near future.
Yes there is
Excellent as always Danny
it was good to see 6900 and slug, I serviced and done 92 day on that unit , I dont know how many times over the years at winston shop, witch is now closed I heard
Thanks very much Aaron. I didn't know you lived in that area. Cool.
DH
Couldn't tell you.
They just show up down here, I assume as run-through power.
DH
Nice chase and catches! I also LOVE seeing privet cars on the rear of the silver meteor and silver star I

You know everything about railroads!
Great Job Danny!
You did it again! Another fine video. Loved the private cars.
Interesting that 2315 is a road slug and seems permanently hooked to that 6900. I thought it was weird that it didn't have any radiator vents so I went and looked up what it was.
I was worried about TN tower, myself. I take it you were at National Train Day at Tampa Union Station.
my aunt renea used to live in saint petersburg plus csx6900 is a youtube channel in my area this video is just mysteries to me
TN tower by CSX is considered historical since its the last one by the SAL. So they kept it there.
Next time you haunt the Lakeland Wye I might see you there. That's going to be a very busy place soon!
Awesome Chase Danny on CSXT O700 really enjoyed it. You were in my neck of the woods near drew park I live only 1 mile away from that area. Its not a great place to be at when its night time just a rough place to be at. Great video all around Danny. I enjoyed it!

Loved the Amtrak black nose! I've only seen it on 156!
+Carson Bean They call it the "black knight" I think. It happened when the paint shop goofed.... XD
4:57 UNION PACIFIC we got the right away
We got the right of way
Down from Omaha to Portland
Nice job, Danny!
thanks, im always in oldsmar waiting for them
Usually around 7:30AM.
DH
Awesome video Danny! Thanks for sharing
I believe the A line is also the one that goes through Pembroke North Carolina.
great job as always,thanks
Really great video!!!
I enjoyed it
Mi
6900 was a nice locomotive
It's fun seeing parts of Tampa. I know the city well, but not the rail lines.
I've seen one of those ballast cleaning machines working here in Kentucky on the old L&N main, now CSX Louisville division main line sub. Pretty cool.
But, Danny....did you run that crossing signal? Of all people. Smh. Great video. You do such a great job of narration with great shots.
Amazing video Mr. Harmon. Eevery time you have a new upload, I HAVE to see it lol. I might miss something cool.
I've been seeing him on tuesdays and thursdays lately leaving yeoman yard anytime between 12:30 and 2:00pm. Hope thats helps some...
Hmmm...would I be right in saying O700 is a train of solid autoracks for a smaller distribution center?
no problem, you should come up to michigan sometime and i can show you some good spots to catch trains. btw is lakeland getting track upgrades because i see new ballast has been layed for the second main line track?
I'd hate to see those huge bridge parts in a hurricane.. You better hope you don't get one very soon :o
Amazing as always my friend :)
If you look closely at 4:15 you can see a CSX train in the distance
Don't feel bad Danny. I have gotten thrown out of Winston yard and I wasn't even taking videos. I called Katch and he said best to stay out nowdays because of the new terrorism and safety rules. That sure sucks because Winston was a good place to watch trains.
4:50- Ditchlights are on but main headlights are off.

The black nose locomotive may had the anniversary paint
I heard 177 was supposed to be the original Phase IV heritage
I've noticed you're getting more and more UP units. Are they used as "Foreign power?"
I guess so
Nice Video Mr. Harmon..
Was the Clearwater Sub former Seaboard Coast Line or Seaboard Air Line?
I sometimes see O700 on my way to school if the timing is right
it is hard chasing locals you set up meanwhile it is switching plants then you leave and a minetes later the train coms.
I use to work on one of those railvacs they are noisy and dusty machines. They are desgiened to suck out mud spots and help with cut in and cut out a TLM
hey danny, you wouldent happen to have scheduals for o701 and o702 would u?
Danny anytime you want to go rail fanning up here in North Florida (near Waldo, Starke, Anthony etc) Let me know! Would love to share some track and trains with you!
163 maybe Referencing K163 that run in Aus
Why don’t they run Amtrak on the S line anymore, I use to see it years ago.
Nice Video!
What time does O700 leave Yeoman Yard?
Wow
The Empire Builder will pull those private cars every now and again
I haven't chased any locals, but a lot of them near me are chaseable and have a lot of potential, given nobody gives a shit about getting them on these spurs
National train day

Ah ok. How long does it take him to get to Drew?
i also want to go to winter heaven but im stuck in tennessee
Lucky it was travelling so slow.
cool units on p091
Will somebody explain why the slug had a cab and no radiator?
Union Pacific Fan slugs have no engine, therefore they do not need a radiator, and they have a cab so the engineer can control the "mother" unit from the slug
Hey what’s the name of the garbage company
If I had too much money and could afford my own private rail car I'd be coupled in right behind them. Call me pathetic if you must but I'd have my OWN railcar! :-P
cool at 3:04
Chasing a train is not so easy for me
CSX 6900!!!
Nice dude
People with too much money riding their own private rail cars.....pathetic!
