Thank You for making your wonderful videos. I started watching your videos my Jr year of high School. And your videos encouraged me to work for the railroad. Which I did, I started as an NS Conductor in 2015, was promoted at Engineer in 2019 and now in 2022. I'm continuing my railroad career as a Amtrak engineer. If it wasn't for your videos, I don't know if I would be in the position I am today. Thank You!
Wow! Thanks so much, TrainGuy. You're bringing tears to my eyes. I never though these little videos that make would ever have that kind of impact on anyone, especially in their career. As you are learning, enjoying your work is important for success. Congratulations...and thanks again.
Welcome to the family! I saw your comment and I am also an Amtrak Engineer out of Toledo, but started my career in Denver. Be safe out there, my friend!
Danny, you are the super detail wizard. The information you give takes trainspotting ( railfanning ) to a stratospheric level. thanks for your efforts. very best wishes
Awesome job Danny! Glad I found your channel and got back into railfanning last year. It has been a pleasure emailing you. I hope to meet you at the Folkston Railwatch. You have the perfect voice for videos. I hope to see you up in my home state again soon up north! Can’t wait for the journey to come from your channel this year! Keep up the awesome work. - Carter
He's a professional radio announcer so he's well trained as well as having a great voice. Best narrator of railfan videos that I've found on RU-vid. I'm glad he's passed the 100K subscriber milestone.
I've got a sign just like that hanging in my garage, only mine says S.C.L. R.R. PROPERTY NO TRESPASSING. Mine came from a crossing that CSX closed just south of Rocky Mount at Sharpsburg. It was tossed onto a trash pile, I saw it and "appropriated" it. Another great video Danny, you've got the best content on here.
Congratulations 👏👏👏 DANNY ....BE SURE TO INCLUDE IN A "Distant signal " update....film opening your "YOU TUBE 100,000 WALL HANGING....ARE YOU GOING TO HANG IT "On your fence of signs....or in your den at home....nice job "UNCLE DAN ...OUT.."..Thank you for taking us all to watch "THE SIGNAL DROP"....Was a Engineer on a tourist Railway for 18 years "ANACORTES RAILWAY ",,, NOW IN LINCOLN CALF 😀,,,, YOU MEET THE NEATEST PEOPLE IN RAILWAY BUSINESS....GLAD DISTANT SIGNAL 😀 CONTINUE THIS TRADITION 👍
Your videos make me home sick for Ocala Wildwood area, many family and lifelong friends there. I remember seeing purple ACL passenger trains between Ocala and Candler down through Weirsdale and Leesburg, early 60’s. I live in south central Texas, UP here. Great videos Danny.
All your vids are great and fun to watch. The way you narrate the vids makes them much more interesting and informative. Much more enjoyable than just watching trains roll past! Thanks!
Danny, I love watching your videos. For me as an European/German railfan it's very interesting to see how you guys do railfanning in the US. And I have to say that you talk so clearly, that's why I'm able to understand almost everything from you. :) I like the most when you are chasing the trains and when you show us the whole day of your trip, including having lunch and driving around. Best wishes from Germany Bjoern
Danny you are the reason I got into Railfanning. I really appreciate your videos happy 100,000 subs just know all of your viewers including me really appreciate you.
Just wanted to say thank you for helping me rediscover the interest in trains I had when I was little. Because of this, I recently started the planning stages of making a documentary about Rail fans plus some other projects. .
Congratulations Danny on 100,000 subscribers! There is no other RU-vidr that offers the quality and professionalism that you do Danny. Thank you for providing this great content to us rail fans.
Excellent video Danny, great you caught two Ethanol trains back to back. Also nice to learn the A and S line designation on the signal bungalows! See ‘em all the time and never realized it,
Danny those double yellow signals on CSX are approach diverging signals out west on our railroad, it's the last signal you'll see before you approach a siding or crossovers!
yeah CSX does things differently than the railroads out west. You also use Block signalling while CSX uses speed signaling. If you saw the one signal there showing yellow over green, that means the same as your approach diverging for us, but the key difference is it also has a speed restriction. Approach Medium - Approach the next signal not exceeding medium speed. (30 MPH)
The S-Line happens to go through one of the most pristine railroad towns in America, right south of Raleigh, NC, it’s an amazing town, the chamber of commerce is a 1900s Seaboard Air Line brick-built station. The Silver Star goes through twice daily. To anyone in the Raleigh area, I highly recommend spending a day there railfanning. The town is Apex, North Carolina.
Really enjoying your videos, sir. As a kid, I always made my grandparents take me to the train tracks in Titusville, FL when I was visiting them... Fast forward 25+ years, and now I find myself logging the train times in my little town of Winder, GA. I can hear them from the house. I also have a set of tracks parallel to my hunting properties outer most trail and hwy 278 in Crawfordville GA... the guys all tease me when at anytime of the day or night, when I hear the train coming, I load up on my 4 wheeler and boogie towards the tracks to catch him (as long as I'm not in a stand of course). I've never "rail fanned" the way you do, but I feel like buying a radio and a camera to keep in my camper. LOL! Thanks for the entertainment, Danny!
HI Nick! Thanks for the compliments. I've heard that Winder and your area are great railfanning country. I may give you a shout next time I'm in North GA.
@@distantsignal That would be great, Danny! Would love to meet you and see how the pros do it! There is neat little caboose museum right along the tracks that would serve as a good watching platform.
I have a piece of "pearhead" rail from before the War Between the States, a piece of U rail, a piece of rail made up of 2 pieces of rail (one over and clamped to the other), a piece of 8 lb, a piece of 136 lb, and a piece of girder rail made for street running(approximately 8 inches high).
No other rail RU-vidrs explain the details as well as you do. No wonder you’re at 100K. If I were guessing, I’d say you have been in the rail business for years. I’d appreciate knowing about your background. BTW, fantastic job.
Congratulations on hitting 100K! Huge accomplishment!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I’m watching videos while my husband drives and I just showed him what I was watching and he saw your Seaboard sign right off the bat! 😃🚂
Great job! Your filming in Polk County my home county brings back memories of my childhood. Thank you as always for your excellent presentations! Happy New Year!
Thanks DH, I also am a DH, Daniel Hoffman, Love your videos! My farther in-law Was a railroad men! And I've always wished I could have been! Thanks again, Dan
We got to see Union Pacific’s Big Boy earlier this summer when she came through Southwestern Illinois. There is something so special and cool about a Steam Train. Thanks for the great videos!
Another fabulous video. Thank you so much for going out and taping the trains and explaining things as you go. I think I've learned more about how trains operate by watching and listening to your videos that I have in any other option that I've had. Thank you again for putting in the time, I for one really appreciate it… Bye for now
Danny, A recommendation came up for a video called: " And then there was one". I was delighted to see that you narrated it. It was a great documentary.
I've always liked trains starting as a youngster when each line had their own passenger trains and freights weren't nearly so long and always with a caboose. I've never been a student of railroading so thanks for the visual lessons. Much appreciated, Thanks, Danny
Another terrific production Danny! Can’t believe all the information I can pick up from your work. Thank you for using defect data to calculate the length of train. Nobody else explains with such detail what’s being presented…..thanks again!
Nice video Danny it is funny the two of them all trains had the exact same consist but if they had the same origin point it might make sense because they might’ve been cuts that originated from the same train that were divided tomorrow on the way into two separate consists for reasons that we don’t know
Danny, I want to thank you for all the hours my husband Gil enjoyed watching Distant Signal. He went to be with the Lord December 27th. He got me hooked and I will still be watching. Congrats on 100K! Dee
Danny, it is a pleasure to be a part of the 100k subscribers. You had a lot intel on the block signals and several segments changing aspects from yellow to green and dropping to red. I always enjoy this in your videos. It is an educational experience watching "Distant Signal". Thanks Danny and Happy New Year!
I recently subscribed because as a novice I learn more in one of your vids than I do watching a year of others. It seems like everything is a big secret, except here.
If I recall correctly, there's still at least a couple of defect detectors up here on the CSX S&NA North that still read-out the length. I know the High/Wide in Tanner, AL does.
I have watched many videos of trains but your videos are by far the best in my opinion. you are an educator and explain many aspects of CSX operations I did not know. I live in the Villages and see many trains coming thru Wildwood. The other day I observed and northbound phosphate train that I learned about from one of your videos, may have been an old one about the orange juice train. love your work!
Hey Danny. Really enjoyed the video. Great job! I am in Bostic, NC near the old Clinchfield line. Been a railfan since before I could talk. Even remember sitting on my Daddy's lap behind the steering wheel (before safety was a thing), at the Bostic Clinchfield yard watching the trains come through. Many times the friendly train staff would invite us on board to let me look out the cab window. Miss those days. I used to do the same for my nieces and nephew. But 9/11 changed everything. Thanks again and God speed!.
Not quite sure how or why RU-vid brought me to your channel, but I love it. Use to ride the old Southern Crescent from central Va to Philadelphia several times a year for 5 or 6 years way back when. Great times.
