When I watch his videos it's like being in school with your favorite teacher is just the best time of the day you get the right information,, Terrific education and how can you beat that.

I just started watching his vids 2 days ago and ive watched over 20 already

Danny - you are the Creame de la Creame of railroad videographers. You explain what is being presented in both context and business purpose; that is so rare among those posting railroad videos.

"This is Danny Harmen, out." That's got to be the saddest part of the video, but also a great, signature way to sign off. Love the vids Danny! The ending always puts a smile on my face! See you next time, somewhere out there on the high iron!

Danny’s son has me in tears by the first minute. What an offspring!

Danny, I'm retired Navy and ran local and through freight between Baldwin and Tampa for a year in 2003. Your videos bring back some good memories. For those that do not know there's a definite skill to switching cars without taking more than a step or two. When new you'll run for ever and get wet in the rain until learning to switch smart. Good memories, and would have loved to make it a second career if not for the difficulty of being junior on the board. Being displaced on the board makes it a challenging life. With that said nothing cooler in life than running a train at 50 or 60 through a tight turn and crossings between Jax and Wildwood. Thanks for the memories. Bob j

I recall seeing the 1776 painted unit at Baldwin, from the I-10 bridge back in 1978. The crazy kid in the car waving wildly at that lead engine was me. I miss SCL. CSX is larger and better in most ways, but I will always have a special place in my heart for those black and yellow locomotives, with Mars lights, of SCL. You not only heard them coming towards you, but felt them back then.

I visited the Baldwin yard once while taking a railroad concepts class during my time as a contractor for CSX. I was amazed at how smoothly everything operated. The Yardmaster is a true multi-tasker. He was able to talk to our group and keep track of all the traffic coming in and out of the yard at the same time. I work as a CAD operator for a local railroad signal engineering firm. It's nice seeing how signals work in real life settings.

Gotta love having a Danny video show up in your notifications

You are Chock Full of information, Danny. You have more Details than Any other Rail fan. Thanks!

Clicked on it as soon as I got the notification

You make some consistently amazing content. Candidly educational, with its own hurry, but also incredibly soothing. I hope to continue watching for many years to come.

Railfanning and droning at the same time you are living the life, my man. Thanks for what you do.

I'm new to railfanning and now that I'm retired have time to watch videos. Yours are the best! I spent a day going through just about all of them. I love your explanations and I've managed to learn quite a bit! Thank you very much.

Awesome story about your son, Dutch Harbor, and all that it means to you. Sentimental items and memories are the best! Thanks!

I always love me some Distant Signal!

Thank you for explaning track 3 on the Callahan Sub. I've always wondered about that. Your arial photo and narration make it clear. Well done!

You know, rumor has it that there once was a young lad with a name much like yours, who tried his hand at being a railroader, quite a few decades ago and I even imagined what that might have been like on a regular basis, after having watched you in your latest incarnation...and the flashback that I had almost seemed real...and I remembered the thought that I had as you got off the locomotive. It would sure be nice if all the new hires that were coming up through the ranks were as good as that one...and it still holds true to this day! I'm proud to have known you and keep up the good work! -MLV.. (Engineer, retired~ 40 yrs. of service.)

Hey Danny! I was out railfanning that day and remember you posting about Q453 being +13000ft out of the yard at waycross and that inspired me to go chase that train. But earlier before that I caught the same Q177 at the 301 overpass in Ocala. I love your videos! You’re the reason I got into railfanning!🙌

Your drone work is always amazing. It was very helpful to see the track layouts north of I-10.

The 11 people that dislike this video are not true rail fan because this was a excellent video 👍🏽

We often travel from near Statesboro GA to Winter Haven FL often via Hwy 301 (also via Amtrak) to visit family and so this very well made video is interesting to see what's going on on the rails. Have passed by these places many times. Your videos, explanations, and knowledge is outstanding.

Always a pleasure watching Mr Danny Harmons videos...THE voice of Railfanning! Cheers From Melbourne, Australia!

Great video Danny, enjoyed the discussion and history of Baldwin Yard, can’t figure out why rail management always seems to be trying to get rid of it. You have real dedication to get up at 4:30 in the morning and stay out to almost midnight, please don’t get so tired that you fall asleep at the wheel, stay safe and well! Nate

Can’t get enough of your great videos, you’re definitely my favorite railfan to watch! Greetings from Washington state & have a merry Christmas!

Another incredible video Danny, you are the best on KZfaq. Have you ever thought of starting up a railfan podcast talking about history of railroads or hotspots in the south or anything regarding railroads? You have the best voice for it. I learn so much from you regarding the railroad industry watching you for the last ten years of my life.

Speaking of Deadliest Catch, I have a Time Bandit T-shirt. My favorite crew.

Im gonna speak for, what appears to be the vast majority of Subs & Viewers, by saying we've ALL Binge Watched Danny's Distant Signal channel. Thats not a bad way to spend your time. Rather, one of the most, if not the most enjoyable channel I Sub to. I enjoy it because I have family who were Railroad folk as far back as the 1930's. They've all since retired and passed on. Wont be long, and I'll be there with them. Hopefully, family are Still Railroad folk working today. So, thanks to everyone who take the time to post. And thank you Danny, for providing us Fans with a place to enjoy!

This video of Baldwin Yard was AWESOME Danny! You definitely get to see some AMAZING TRAINS and to have you NARATING adds to the PERFECTION of your videos! Btw, the "STREET RUNNING TRAIN" at the end was my favorite!

You spoil us with these great videos, Danny! A pleasure to watch as always.

A Dutch Harbor hat!!! Holy Comoley!! I love Deadliest Catch too! Wear the hat, never mind Key West!

Outstanding video job well done I cannot wait to meet you you have a wealth of information and I'm ready to learn I just need to win the lottery so I can go and see you keep up the good work and be safe We're All in This Together stay safe

Thank you for sharing the story about your hat and son 🥰. That's so heartwarming.

Another great one!!

The World thanks you for your Voice and your Experience in your work life.... Fantastic Videos...

Thanks for the aerial shot over Baldwin, thats great narrating, gosh I don't think there anything you don't know ! So Starke has great Pizza, yum. That was one busy day. Thanks for keeping us all entertained. Welcome to all the newbies on the channel. Greetings from New Zealand.😎👌👍 PS - Only one thing will compliment that Pizza, an ice cold Tropicana OJ !! 🥶🥶

Always just love watching your train videos Danny. I’m in the aviation business as a mechanic for AA here in Tulsa, but still always get a thrill out of being the first one at a rail crossing to watch a BNSF or UP training go rolling by. Grew up as a kid in Waterloo, Iowa and the RI ran by at the end of our street. At night we’d peddle our bikes hard as we could go watch the 9:30 Rocket go roaring past heading south. On the way home from school walking along the tracks, could sure dilly dallying along if I saw a distant signal light turn red, knowing I’d get to watch a freight switch out cars at the siding tracks at the end of our street. But still love trains. Thanks for your information and great train videos. Be safe!

Danny, your volume of RR operation details is mind boggling. Facts, tips, notes and misc info just keeps me glued to each video. High ball it from here!

Another great video, thank you Danny. Really liked the overhead view of the freight and the overhead view of Baldwin yard. Plus the evening city views at Stark. Great Job.

Really enjoy listening to the host. Very intelligent and professional.

Awesome footage, you railroad knowledge never ceases to impress me. Keep up the great work.

Hey. Danny; hope all is. well. on your end! As goes. me, The good. Lord. gives me another. day. Moving forward gives. a. day. to watch. you do the things we love. Keep up. the great work

10/1/2021, Thank you. Better just keeps getting better. Wouldn't it be great if our congressional personages could work in such harmonious ways. Amazing rules and regulations followed and maintained do work when given the authority to do their job!!! You honor integrity extremely well. Thank you again!!!!!

The night time video shots were amazing. Thanks for bringing us along.

Danny, you are the man . You are always thorough with the quality of your videos, great explanations and camera work.

Great video I really like baldwin yard when I was very young my dad worked at the baldwin yard he drove a tanker truck and refueled the locomotives, I often went with him in there and got as much up close time with all the train excitement as possible so definitely my favorite yard

I’ve just fallen in love with CSX

Catching up on some of your older videos. I just made my first trip up to Folkston and 21:16 Waycross from Port Charlotte. I went up on 301 and caught a lot of SAL heritage. I ventured into Baldwin and parked across from the post office. I met another KZfaqr there and learned that CSX had pulled the diamond. I agree about your assessment of Baldwin. Your other videos have been a great help in my learning new territory after upper Midwest for the past 10 years.

Another great video! Glad that Baldwin is getting busy again. Now, if only Wildwood. Kuldip get busy again! Thanks for all your great videos!

Lot of tracks at Baldwin. Love freight yards and the action! Another great post. Thanks Danny

Thank goodness! I was getting bored here in South Dakota. Keep 'em coming!

God Bless " Ole Baldwin" Loved the nite shot in Stark !!!

Wonderful video I learn so much from you I am a train Rider and a railroad watcher daily thank you for all of your hard work to make it possible me to learn what's going on in the train world smile

Happy holidays, stay safe out there. Just getting over the covid and it's no joke it honestly brought me down to my knees!

Great day of railfanning around Baldwin, Florida. Thank you for all the information that you provide in your videos. I really enjoy watching them for your comments and information about what we are seeing.

You are a railfanning beast! That's a long day but it sure looks like fun. Plus all of the great food you find along the way! Thanks for the wonderful videos.

Enjoyed this video very much and look forward to more. Be safe Danny and thanks for your videos. What a joy to watch!

In July I went to Savannah, GA by way of I75 and I10 as we passed over Baldwin it was loaded with autoracks and i hollered "Thats Baldwin the place Danny talks about" My mother traveling with me was like "Who is Danny?"Love your videos was excited to see a new one!

I'm definitely addicted to your videos. I was hoping earlier you would post a new video soon, and look what happen? Yay! Thanks Danny! Your KZfaq channel is my favorite channel on KZfaq. Stay safe, happy recording!

As usual, expertly filmed and your easy-going and informative commentary is a pleasure to listen to. In my opinion by far the best rail videos on KZfaq and always a joy to watch. The drone shots are particularly interesting. And I'm learning a great deal too about rail operations in the US!

Dear Danny I am avid follower about 6 months I like how u teach technical tips on trains and Railroading an meanings and terms. History of railroading on the company's and the towns its towns

Thanks for another very well done video and I’m glad that yard is surviving. With all the mergers, many aren’t. It’s one of my worries as a train hopper to end up having to bail inside a large yard. Not sure what would be worse, at night, or during the day;)

I'm going to stop here in a few days...on my way to Florida tomorrow...can't wait to check this out. thanks so much for the great info provided here!!

Great video, Mr. Dan. Great narration. I've learned quite a bit from you. Very much appreciate you brother. I love trains too! My only complaint, I want a new video every week! LOL.😂 Cheers Danny.

From what you described, Danny, it would seem Baldwin Yard to CSX is like what Davis Yard (Roseville, CA) is to Union Pacific: a vital block-distribution hub for a high traffic volume region, even with flat-switching.

My dad is from Plant City and went to school at Florida. Needless to say I got so excited seeing the video about Baldwin. I don't even need directions to get from Augusta, GA to Plant City using Highway 301! This brings back a ton of memories of making the drive!

I miss being out on the hi rail.....these videos are the next best thing.😊

Your videos make me happy, especially because you put your heart into it. often i find that is what makes these videos the best.

Wow Danny what a long day! Very good video segment, especially the artistic night shot. Thanks for your excellent post.

It's nice to drive early in the morning thru Tampa and Lakeland. I had to race from Anna Maria Island to disney in orlando by 7am for work. It was temporary. Your high on my list (top 5) for your videos and creativity.

Very nice video that shows skill and experience, thanks for sharing.

The passenger station reminded me of the old passenger station in my hometown of Hannibal, MO. They stopped passenger service in the 1960s. I can remember when there was some steam locomotive on the main lines. A lot of rail history has happened in my lifetime.

Love that double doppler effect of that DPU in action.😎👌👍

Thanks Danny, another fascinating video to watch, always enjoy it when your notification pops up......always informative and interesting especially form a Brit just gaining interest in US railroading 😁

Distant Signal Video is like an early Christmas present. Thanks Danny and Merry Christmas !

Thank you, great video showing how trains rail work to supply and feed our country.

Always enjoy your videos. Please keep up the good work.

You make railfanning a habit ! Very good info & video..

I really enjoy your videos and of course your narration. Thank you from this old city boy. Marty

First timer watching this channel very impressed with the information shared. Keep up the good work.

Danny has forgotten more about railfanning than I’ll ever know. A day of hanging out with him is on my bucket list. Thanks for the great vids and Merry Christmas 🎄

you really get an idea of the power and efficiency of the railroad system when that train with all the UPS trailers goes by.

I always look forward to your videos! Another well done video of great train watching.

As I watch~~Outstanding Videos !! I as well as others really appreciate you!!

Wide world of Trains catches lots of UPS and FedEx trailers piggybacking on the CSX and NS tracks running along Lake Erie in Dunkirk NY. Always delighted to see a Distant Signal video!

Thank you for this video! I’m going to be in Jacksonville tomorrow and I will have about three or four hours to kill, so I am definitely going to hit this yard and do some rail fanning! Thanks again!

Wonderful Show! Nice drone work too!

Hey Danny - Nice steady hover on the overhead shot directly over the consist. Well done!

What a beautiful spot for train watching!

I love when something can spit in the eye of short term profit gains for long term practicality. Baldwin lives on .

I used to live in Baldwin for a short period of time when I was a kid. I loved going over to the main switching yard, sitting under the overpass and watching the trains.

Instant happy!! Go, Danny, Go! Keep knocking down that searchlight in the intro! Love your content!

I see the dual air conditioners, all I can think is thank god for unions! 😉

Another one of your great videos. The radio chatter really adds a lot to the videos. Thanks.

I'm a big fan of yours and I cannot wait to meet you as soon as I hit the lottery I would like to see that you're that you just featured please keep up the good work and be safe and may the Lord's blessings be with you PS remember we're all in this together no thanks to China

Your precision with drone cinematography is impressive.

Love your videos. You present them very well with lots of interesting facts.

Love your vids! I’m a truck driver and have been frequenting the bone valley almost weekly from up north. Always going through Baldwin, Waldo, Hawthorn and of course Mulberry! Always looking for the sites you record, but kinda hard to pull over and train spot, so thanks for the vids!!!

The dislikes are from Tony & Al and their employees. Lol

We have no R.R. traffic in our area. The nearest place for train watching is 20 miles away and no place to watch the many daily trains going thru the old R.R. station you may park and up to 30 trains go thru every day. Thank you for your videos..
