That part on the buried 4-4-0 was spectacular. You never know what you can find.

It was quite common in the Bone Valley for crews to bury the locos when they wore out. Gold Coast Railroad Museum has an 0-4-0T that came out of one of the mines.

You have just gained a happy subscriber, and I'll tell you why. Your video is extremely well done. Nice and steady camera work, not waving it all around making the person watching it sea sick. Also, I really enjoyed your intelligent and easy to hear commentary. One other point, and I wish all u tube publishers could read it. No obnoxious music playing. I love documentaries that are informative such as yours. Keep them coming. I, of course, also love trains. Thank you.

I HATE your videos Danny! Your awesome narration has spoiled me to where other trains videos i watch just don't compare and lack luster. Keep up the awesome job

Hmm... an engine that's been buried for what may be the better part of two centuries, beyond restoration? Sounds like some museum's "Challenge Accepted"

Excellent video!, to those who put this one together. Great to have information on the trains destination, loads and origins. Narration is great, and is what's needed on these kind of video's. Keep 'em coming. Thanks, from Australia.

The excavation crew was digging at the spot where they found the steam locomotive at first they thought it was a piece of pipe and one of the operators tried to cut thru the pipe and when they could not figure out why it would not break a crew started to dig around it and they found some old pieces of track underneath the locomotive. And the reason why it was buried is because when a pit ran dry of phosphate and they had no other use of the train what they would do is dig a huge whole drive the train into the whole and bury it.

That Streamsong place looks more like central Arizona than central Florida.

Thanks for the Charlotte Harbor and Northern shout out. I live in Murdock and love what little history that is in this area. I remember as a child watching the phosphate trains go to Boca Grande. Fond memories.

Another fantastic video! Thanks so much for taking the time to shoot and edit quality content. Love your work.

You should be a spokesperson/ narator/ voiceover artist

My cousin got married at Streamsong several years ago. Beautiful hotel. The only problem? There are no trees anywhere! In the hot Florida summers, this becomes extra apparant, especially on the golf course.

I love this one. That No RIght Turn signal is a beauty. I'm enjoying working my way through your back catalog!

Boy, Danny you never change, just no. 1 . Top quality video’s one after the other, Thx so much for what you do.

Amazing to see that old buried steam locomotive! Another great video viewed from here in the UK.

Just came across this teriffic video and now I am seriously hooked. And to my surprise, KZfaq has revealed a veritable gold mine of lots more of your wonderful visual rail artworks. THANK YOU!!!!

Nice catches Danny,that's an interesting operation with all that phosphate stuff. Was on verge of buying Mosaic stock, LOL

If your ever up in Connecticut along the NEC go to the beach at rocky neck state park. The line from New Have the Rhode Island runs right through there cutting off the beach from the rest of the park. It's also high activity with at least ten passenger trains a day going through there with the occasional miscellaneous freight

Subscribed. I quite like the narration, giving some insight into the specific purpose behind each train. And 60fps is a godsend too

Yep! We were right; you had indeed caught at least #4677 in the Bone Valley and posted it here in this video at the 3:54 mark! It’s nice seeing it still wearing the full CSX paint scheme and not the giant “CORP” emblem it now has on the long hood! I’m still looking for #4655 in your videos and hopefully I’ll catch it before too long lol :-) Keep up the awesome videos, Danny!!

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner Danny but the Train ID you'd requested was O829, empty Wet Rock Shuttle from Ridgewood to Agrock/Four Corners. Awesome video as always.

I was going to argue that there are no valleys in Florida. But now that you have gotten me to read-up on the Bone Valley, I can see it does have to refer to NOW. Thanks again, Danny, for helping me learn.

I love the Mulberry area. We stay there at the Best Western to watch the trains and I like the diamond in the middle of the street.

Look forward to your vids. I wish you were still postimg everyweek ♥️

Great video! I have been to Mulberry a couple of times, but don’t know the area well enough to find trains like you did. I hope to get back there again while in Florida this winter.

that engine is actually restorable just get a new cab, get a new boiler, build a front bogie, make some valve gear and side rods, rebuild the chassis, rebuild the wheels and tires, make a funnel, and make a tender

Neat to see that area again. Great video. I visited there in 1981 when U18B's and U36B's with slugs were the power of choice. A few rebuilt GP7's were out and about also.

That's a good question, Adam. It comes from out west and Canada so I don't know what it takes to keep it heated.

Poor old girl. By the amount of major missing pieces, it looks like she was at least part dismantled before interment. There are actually several, similarly buried engines over here in the UK - one, very well known, in Cumbria and another in Lancashire, which tragically took her driver down a pit shaft with her, and they still lie together, too far down to ever recover either.

2:36 CSX 4695 (involved in the 2004 Zephyrhills, Florida collision and was repaired, is now retired as of 2021)

Love your video's! I'm a big train fan. Loved them since I was a little boy. Still in awe of them. Keep up the great video's!

Really great video, it's these kinds of productions that make me long to visit Florida and railfan!

GREAT video! When I was a little kid around 50+ years ago in San Antonio, there was IIRC a grade crossing at a railroad yard that had cross bucks with the standard signals (no gates), but they were yellow, not red, and I think ALWAYS flashing. The one in your video is about the only other one I've ever seen even close to that.

Just love your videos for the information and the shots. Great work!

I can remember when trains loaded from W. R. Grace phosphate sitting on the track on Highway 60, blocking traffic for hours.

Nice video. Florida is an interesting venue. Regards to all my Florida pals...

Another great piece DH. Btw, at Dinsmore, AT is not doing track speed, which is 79. He's limited by CSX to 70. Just an info tidbit. Cheers....

Awesome video, Danny! Looked like a photographically perfect day.

I would like to thank this reporter for using the proper terminology, i.e. "diesel fuel". "Diesel" is not a noun.

Love the all EMD power! Nice production Danny; hope to make it to the BV one day.

Bradley Junction!!! I have photos of the station before it was torn down. Great little station, all the attributes a good station should have. Was going to model it in H.O. but still that has got to happen. I even put marked measuring sticks in the photos to get the gauge just right.

hey, im a new subscriber and love your videos,i like that you give info about the trains that roll by!

2:15 the perfect shot in my opinion

Long gone are the days where BV was all EMD. Now it’s just whatever they have operational. Times have changed so much

Excellent video no annoying music in the background

WOW! Another great video you've made Danny.

4:27 - We have those in some locations up here in Ohio. They're along the former Pennsy in my hometown of Bucyrus as well as along the former NYC/EL tracks in downtown Marion. In Fostoria at the B&O depot at the entrance to the parking lot between CSX (former B&O) and NS (former NKP) there is one that has both "No Left Turn" and "No Right Turn" lights that light up depending on which track trains are approaching on.

Great video! It was nice to see those SD40-2'S working the line. Here in California we very seldom see any on the road,it's usually just newer stuff

Awesome video, and great camera work. The narration is top notch. Great vid!

US&S's are still common on the old B&O and P&LE up here in the north, PA, MD, and WV.

Is there anymore Information about he steam loco that was burried

Your video's are outstanding! From your number 1 Canadian fan.

What is the difference between he "Wet Rock" and the "Dry Rock"?

Mulberry is about the best place to Railfan the BV. Start at the yard on SR60 then move east to downtown. Bradley Jct is also one of the busiest placest in the Bone Valley.

You should come to Arcadia,FL and see CSX's O725 Mulberry to Arcadia train and also the interchange with Seminole Gulf Railway

There is no difference between dry rock and wet rock other than that the raw phosphate rock(dirt as it's called by the crews) has water in it. The "phosphate " as is referred to in the video is actually finished product aka fertilizer. The processing plants used to take wet rock and spread it on the ground until the water evaporated, then took the "dry" rock and run it through the processing plant to make fertilizer. When doing this they added water ack to the rock to help the chemical reaction. Later on they rightfully realized it was a waste of time and resources to dry it out. The dirt stacks you see at Ridgewood and New Wales these days are just for storage, not drying out the rock.

I love seeing only EMDs on trains. We saw the 8004 3 times. The second was with a SD70 or 60

Danny, your the best!

Nice 2 see these old trains still working!!!

Cool video I love EMD! I also like that you recorded me when I was recording a train.

Cool. I have been to the phosphate meuseum before.

Great video! When i go down railfanning the CSX S line this summer, maybe ill bump into you! Awesome video, as always

Danny, not sure if you read comments on old videos like this but liquid sulfur tank cars in this video raises a question that I have had for a long time. Usually, when I see a train video with tank cars that look exactly like these in this video, how does the man behind the camera know they are ethynal cars vs. something else? I know that there are a lot of things carried in tank cars and I do not understand how someone can just say what they are carrying on a mainline track. Of course, in the instance of this video, someone familiar with the area would probably know what goes in and out of plants like this one. Love your videos, you were my second channel to subscribe to when I started watching KZfaq, Don

I just did some rail fan there last week. Man it was fun

There is a no right turn at or near Gettysburg Pennsylvania along the CSX train

Another greaat day of watching trains on 5/24/20>

Fabulous job, Danny. Maybe one day we can meet up down here and railfan for a day. I live right near Edison and I railfan BV frequently.

Danny, Your videos are really excellent. You get into the details that make the subject interesting. I particularly enjoy your narration. Were you professionally trained? Your delivery is superb!

That was very interesting. Thanks for the video. 👍👍👍

Worlds best narrator right here 😂

at 4:51 i got tired of waiting for the buried loco

4:28 The no right turn crossing signal is similar to some a few miles from my house, except those are brand new.

3:46 wait, Jamison is my name!

Brilliant informative commentary.

Just letting you know of a derailment in Lakeland. Gay Rd and International Dr. Just happened an hour ago.

The NO RIGHT TURN signal at 4:28 is neat. I remember seeing a few of these along the track that parallels Busch Blvd when I lived in Tampa. Don't know if they're still there or not, as I left Tampa for good in 2005.

Y’all should be careful of radiation ☢️ in the bone valley area. Especially at that phosphate museum.

There's a set of those US&U Y pattern signals on the CSX Chicago Line in Bergen NY. Probably being ripped out soon, as CSX is ripping out the old New York Central signal bridges on the line.

Wow, thats crazy! nice catch with the CSX Action.

As a new sub to your channel, can only say, i love it, but one thing puzzles me, when you say the train number, nothing matches up on the loco, ie, head board on on the sides, where you get that number from, will certainly be watching out for more videos from you, thanks Danny.

Great video! i would of seen this video the day you uploaded it but for some reason youtube i guess unsubscribed me from your channel! i just resubscribed before watching this video.

Very informative and I thank you for posting great video.

DON'T 🚫 Restore that Old Locomotive . . . it has A Story To Tell, just *as it is* !

How can you get the name of the trains? How did you connect to the radio?

Do I understand you right or not in that the first gondola hopper cars you talked about are tipped to the side to dump? I'm just a dummy when it comes to this stuff and if that's how they do how are the axles kept under the cars? Please educate me on how this is accomplished.

Danny, as much CSX territory that you cover, have you ever thought about being an official spokesman for the railroad? I think you would be great at it.

Wow, great set of pipes!

Man I freakin LOVE your videos!!

There's some no right turn signals in Wilson NC you should railfan there

Loved it! Great job

Thanks Danny

Nice video danny can't wait to see my first American train not long now :-)

also what camera did you use to film this and i'm wondering as to if you've heard of cordele Georgia

How do they keep the sulfur molten, do the tank cars have heaters?

How do they keep the sulphur molten, do the cars have heaters?

Excellent narrating!

Hey could you come out to Illinois and railfann with me and a buddy of mine some time

How in the world did CSX find so much rolling stock that the scumbag taggers hadn't gotten to yet? It's great to actually see a "clean" train! RARE as an honest politician these days.

Danny: With the Winter Haven center now open, do you think CSX will bring up any intermodals from the Miami area ports?

I Love CSX, BNSF and many other American Diesel Locomotives......... I think India must have these massive and attractive Locomotives..... 😊😊😊😘😘
