Chasing Road Freights - Summer 2019

I got out for a few hours over the weekend and found some really interesting stuff. Here's a little nature, a little history and a few road trains.

[@Joeybagofdonuts76]

It's a great Sunday morning when I see a notification from digital signal.

[@ncmainlineproductions9290]

Always a great day when you upload a new video! Job well done, Danny!

[@JakeS4636]

Indeed!

[@Victorted]

Ridiculously fun stuff, I have to agree.

[@EmergencyGuy]

Indeed, my friend!

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Great video as always! That car at 5:43 looks like it lost some of its load.

[@murrayangus]

Danny, I've been watching many of your videos and I think the quality of filming and your narration is excellent. I don't get many opportunities to travel over to the States to railfan, so watching your videos really makes up for this.

[@railfanowen9372]

Danny I most say I love your videos your narration voice/videos are so good!

[@SD40Fan_Jason]

Wow that drone really gives a birds eye perspective on the curve there at Owensboro. When I used to run through there we had to slow down because the curve was sharper than a knife. If we had gone through there at that speed, we could have picked flowers out the window as we rolled! Also that picture of the old crossing and the US-301 bridge is amazing! I've only seen one before of it and there was a little shanty that someone manned in that photo. Thanks Danny and also thanks to Fred Clark, Jr. For sharing this.

[@paulperrottet113]

Excellent. Your drone shots are very good and significantly improve our understanding of the territory you have been covering in your great videos over the years. I need to watch multiple times just to absorb all the details.

[@davidbarnett9312]

You mention the Bone Valley often in your videos and last night whilst watching some reality show about python hunters in Florida, I got to see what you mention. They went to the abandoned phosphate plant. Huge. Reports from TV stations back in the day mentioned the ecological disaster that was part of this plant, and the rise in cancer and other related diseases for folks who purchased homes that developers constructed in or near the plant. What a mess! In one scene, using her cell phone app and checking for radon emissions, a four is dangerous and her check showed a 3 on the radon scale. They did catch two huge pythons and 3 kiddie pythons. There's a bounty on pythons, it seems, plus you can sell the skin for boots, I guess. Now, back to your excellent video.

[@Steve-xf4uv]

One of the nice things about the drone coverage is that it lets us see what is in those gondolas; interesting mix of stone and crushed stone. Great video once again Danny. You always seem to have such a good time out there railfanning.

[@Galaxy2517]

Every time I see one of your videos makes me want to get my Mavic out...Love it."Fastest lawnmower I've ever seen"...Must've been in notch 8!

[@JM603]

You have the most well produced, interesting and informative rail-fan channel on KZbin. I have learned so much and really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@coxsj]

Best rail vids on the net! Now we just need to figure a way to get Danny to do a bunch of vids in the southwest!! ;-)

[@jimt6880]

You do such great work Danny....thank you!! Really enjoy your work. You inpired me to get back out there chasing trains, I even bought a new scanner! Thank you for sharing you talent, your knowledge & passion with us railfans.

[@Mercatoyd]

Danny.. it's been said over and over and its worth saying again.. your footage, the drone view, the info provided all done with your narration..you have the very best channel out there for us to enjoy. Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge with us. It's always most interesting. Tom

[@budharriss1416]

Thanks, Danny, always a pleasure to see you protecting those Ospreys!

[@jamesdearinger3674]

Love the variety of units you feature. This has been one reason I follow your channel. Your knowledge of trains, units, and routes is amazing. Keep posting, Danny, and I will keep watching.

[@ratfink55]

This was the perfect compliment with my Sunday morning coffee Danny. I can't thank your enough for your time and high flying production value.

[@distantsignal]

Many thanks, Ken. I always look forward to your comments.

[@ratfink55]

Distant Signal This works out because I always look forward to your videos.😉

[@roberthope7787]

Hi Danny, I love your rail videos of Florida railroading. They are the best of this genre on You Tube. Robert from Sunderland England.

[@Spenceman0831]

Anytime I get a notification that you have uploaded a video, I get instantly excited! Your production quality is off the charts amazing! I truly loved this video! Please keep them coming and thanks for all your hard work to bring us quality productions!

[@ekwilcox2456]

Everyone of your videos are always so informative and so well prepared. A real pleasure to view. Please keep up the fine work.

[@misterPSYCHOPATH3001]

The thing about tracks being cut off, as a resident in Jacksonville, i live close to CSX's Kingsland Subdivision, i found out some time ago that the line was originally called Everett Subdivision since the tracks used to go into Savannah, GA however the tracks were cut off in the mid 80's and now it ends in Seals, which is north of Kingsland, also i happen to discover this by complete accident, in the Dennis street area, just close to TTX's shop there's some street running tracks on Harper and Swan Street, the tracks leading to those streets were removed sometime in the 80's, then i discovered that there's two S-Line rail trails, one stretches between Norwood and East 21st and the other stretches between Boulevard St. and Myrtle Ave. i can guess those tracks were removed sometime between the 70's or 80's.

[@SD40Fan_Jason]

With a little research on it you can find the history of every rail line, active or dismantled, in Florida.

[@55nimrod55]

That CSX caboose on the rail train has certainly seen better days.

[@cliffsta87337]

Another excellent video Mr Danny! I always look forward to new releases by you. If you ever railfan Louisiana give us a heads up.

[@distantsignal]

Thanks Cliff!

[@clevelandmaker386]

@@distantsignal it's nice to see a bay window caboose!......but anyways, great video again!......and he's right you should come and railfan Louisiana! I'm on the UP main line to Addis a former MP yard so theres a lot of spots to see trains

[@trains5.9]

What's crazy to me, is the fact that South Lakeland is A851.7 and the place where I go to railfan, south of Richmond, Virginia, is the A26.7.. 825 miles south of me and sees mostly the same traffic! (with some exceptions) Love the video, as always!

[@onesandzeros]

Would have liked to see more of that lawn tractor 😁. Great video as always Danny.

[@billywhite3020]

Danny you do a fine job on keepup with the trains when i was younger coal trains in east ky was great now trains do not come around no more i miss hearing the trains and flowing the with the scanner Jacksonville i headed all the time now i do not hear them coll out the blocks anymore

[@bradklingensmith]

That 453 was like a train you out together as a kid, whatever you have gets hooked.

[@jerrysimonoff2021]

Love your "railroad archeology"! I often see the juice train near Acca Yard here in the Richmond area. I'm also in Ashland frequently and note the juice train brings special attention from those around when it splits Railroad Av through the middle of town--something about being that close to those big oranges!

[@jbrat4313]

Another Sunday morning special... thnx👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@heididarlingdcscrewcreator1649]

Hi! You have the perfect voice for radio and TV shows Also thanks for the awesome videos

[@ironhorsethrottlemaster5202]

Good job Danny great aerial shots with your drone keep up all the great work you made my day with your video peace out into the world that have a great day your railroad documentaries are my favorite you're such a good narrator

[@EricTheOld]

Danny, the longer you do this, the better you get! Great HD and editing. Bless Liz, it's hard to find a railfan partner too. Thanks for sharing

[@marquestainter4131]

Love watching these, I work weekends so watching this on Sunday before work, makes for a good day, keep em coming :-)

[@scottmccullough6136]

Another fantastic job Danny. Loving the drone footage and the DPU at the end of the train and the end of the video. Keep up the great work.

[@FalconXE302]

Great video again Danny... I always think an unused rail line is such a sad sight. I know it is a bit silly... but seeing a rail line laying there, waiting for the train that will never come is so sad. In the south west part of Western Australia where I live, up to 400km from Perth, North, south or East, I love finding trains on the country lines, but too many lines have been abandoned over the years..

[@st7650]

Thanks for all the great videos I like trains and so fun to railfan

[@michaelbrennecke7929]

Great stuff as always, Danny! Loving the drone work!

[@ekimp252]

Another great video, thanks for sharing your rail fan adventures with us.

[@diesellocomotivefan5400]

I'm always learning more about thr rails from your video, thanks!

[@dmorgan28]

Excellent video. Loved it. Thanks Danny👍👍👍❤️

[@JoshRidestheRails]

Another excellent Distant Signal video. Very information and well shot. Great job.

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Seeing an abandoned shop suggests to me that there might have been a rail/way/road station situated there in days gone by. BTW Great video. I'm from Australia and , thanks to You Tube, I can watch rail videos from around the world.

[@zrayray3054]

wow that FGE converted work car.. amazing!

[@daveadams3897]

Great video! I always look forward to yours.

[@afterparadise7425]

Your videos are always so informative and relaxing to watch. Keep up the great job!

[@andymills1687]

Glad to see you are covered for the 'just in case' in the back seat of your truck :) Awesome as always!

[@steveamurray59]

Great Aerial Shots there Danny. Thanks again for another Great Adventure.

[@WBJ1942]

I really enjoy your videos. The drone adds so much more to the story you are telling. Love it.

[@osrx1]

Every railfans best friend in the back seat!

[@distantsignal]

Many thanks, Tyler.

[@TolgaEastCoast]

Great video, Danny. The first cut of A782 rock is SFL limerock and the second is Junction City rock.

[@distantsignal]

Yeah, that's what I figured, but was confused seeing Junction City rock going north

[@TolgaEastCoast]

@@distantsignal I reckon it came in on Q603. As puzzling as it is, as they all say "it's the railroad!"

[@CSX500]

Great shots Danny! Another wonderful video!

[@dontderockmeriz4546]

You’d love it here in Chicago. The railroad capital of the world!

[@Dirigo207]

Or St. Louis ;)

[@TNS17]

Don’t de rock me riz definitely minneapolis

[@bobjennings6673]

Ha! He would love the mountains above Denver. Those are real trains.

[@kman-mi7su]

Or the Philadelphia PA area or across from it in NJ. I recently discovered some great spots in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia where some beautiful shots of trains can be had.

[@KDM66]

Another awesome video!!! Great job!!!

[@TheVideoSteve]

The drone footage really makes for a great addition to the videos. Way to go, Danny...another QUALITY video.

[@railfankenneth5545]

These are some cool fascinating videos i love it

[@djtrainman2]

I love the lawnmower guy. I haven’t seen one around here.

[@dang25272549]

Enjoy watching..... Thanks for your nice catch. 👍

[@danmartin8414]

Another great video. I'm really enjoying the drone footage in your videos, as it offers a much more satisfying perspective of railroading. Thanks Danny!

[@donhunking2286]

Another good video . Always well made , well narrated , informative and entertaining .

[@danieldowling7421]

Awesome video as usual!! I was lucky enough to meet Fred Clark Jr. and I will say he has stunning old Florida railroading pictures! Keep up the excellent work!

[@pisacksen]

Another great video. Like the drone shots.

[@Eric_Hutton.1980]

I really enjoyed this video. Even the Osprey but not as much as the trains though.

[@jamiemcfall2523]

really enjoy your videos danny,have a great day thank you,

[@vmelvinkey]

Fantastic video as usual. You get better each time. Don't know how that is possible but you do! The non-rail-related items in this video were the nesting Osprey and the worlds fastest lawnmower?

[@haroldsmuck3569]

I don't know how many videos you have listed here, but I think there are more still to come, very interesting catches an comments which I have enjoyed as well, I will keep looking (searching) to see if there are more, you should put them on disk and sell the disks, I believe a lot of loyal RR enthusiasts would be interested, I am from Canada near Hamilton, Ontario where it used to be very busy lines (CN & CP) now the traffic has decreased very much, keep up the great work, I enjoy your videos very much, Canada clear.

[@ericsturniolo]

Awesome video as always Danny! I laughed with that fast moving tractor! That was hilarious!

[@carlalyles]

Enjoy everyone of your videos, I am a train fanatic!

[@roballen5670]

Great video. Can't wait for your next one.

[@jmadden50]

Great video Danny! Thanks.

[@timturrell1241]

Great job as always Danny.

[@dabuya]

Your drone work is absolutely wonderful!

[@talaminia]

Top notch videos and drone footage.

[@jimmyruss9986]

Growing up in Dade City I remember where the SAL came through town, and lots (and lots) of rides over the overpasses at Owensboro where U.S. 301 went over the tracks

[@Frosty-productions]

Great footage as always, keep up the great work. Gordon

[@bogusbits6810]

Nice composition and pleasant narration!

[@RailfanDaniel1997]

As always, great videos!

[@dmorgan28]

Cool video Danny. Loved it 👍👍👍❤️

[@seaboardsystemproductions9714]

Awesome video Danny great job!!!👍👍👍

[@WaffleDragon]

That Q453 looked like some of the monster trains that FEC has been running for years now, with blocks of autoracks, followed by aggregate hoppers, followed by mixed freight.

[@buzzydeft]

Always a great video.

[@williamjacobs236]

Another great video Danny .

[@gatortrainchaser2080]

DRONES and BIRDS dont mix. BIRDS usually win! Good thing you took mama birds advice! Nice catches too liked the Q453 esp.

[@WaltANelsonPHD]

Thanks for another great video, Danny!

[@jarroddark8560]

good to see you danny and i am still watching your dvd i ordered from you my friend.

[@WVRailroadPapa]

Another great video as always Danny.

[@ray_road]

You caught the Seaboard System sticker unit at 8:56.

[@WVRails10]

True nice catch Danny

[@jerrysmith7385]

Great job Danny ! Thanks !

[@generosen999]

Great video Danny !!!! You are on point again

[@tfs4499]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, KEEP 'EM COMING DANNY!

[@foreverrailfan]

Nice Footage,Narration | Fan From India 🇮🇳

[@PC10.8]

Always love to see a new video. Great job Danny!

[@russgrunert3955]

IMHO yours are the best rail fan videos,out there.

[@UP9390]

Excellent footage and commentary! Just for future reference, CSX symbols do not have a dash in the symbol between the letter designation and the train number, and between the rest of the symbol and the origin date, for example, a Q453 originating on the 1st would show up on the CSX Mainframe, Paperwork and the Dispatcher Display as "Q45301".

[@distantsignal]

Correct, but I don't get into the date minutiae. I shoot a lot of trains and it's sometimes weeks before I get around to editing. Too much room for errors in that time expanse.

[@bruceritchie3874]

Thanks for another great Video, love the way you use the drone Danny

[@csxrailproductions8205]

Great Video Danny. Really enjoyed it

[@danphillips9364]

I was out last night and they are preparing road closed signs for every crossing along sr 663 from bradley junction south to sr 62.

[@jerrysinclair3771]

Danny, great stuff!

[@Simpleman62569]

Another great video.

[@ronfontenot4534]

Another great video!!

[@IMRROcom]

Always good to have a back up roll of Toilet Paper in your Truck.

[@distantsignal]

Ha! That's true, but those are paper towels
