Tampa Area Railfan Hotspots 2023

[@NorthCountryTrains]

Video railfan guides are something the community desperately needs, and this is a shining example. Maybe I’ll start doing these for the northeast, depending on how well received this is.

[@jameschristiansson3137]

If you start, I'm now subbed.

[@NorthCountryTrains]

@@jameschristiansson3137 I do provide narrated insight in my regular railfanning video trips. However localized guides based on a subdivison/city would use collective footage.

[@DH2906PRODUCTIONS]

Agreed

[@alfrancisnh]

Doooooo it please!!!!! That’d be amazing man.

[@rafjr4264]

I’m going to be doing a series of narrated Railfan Hotspots in my home state of New Jersey

[@Yormsane]

16:14 I love that Danny includes reviews of local BBQ joints in his travelogs. Diehard railfans appreciate his dedication!

[@SpencerRichKM4KFG]

Danny, if you’re ever back in Ft Pierce highlighting the new Brightline 110 mph service or FEC, stop by Moonswiners BBQ at the junction of State Road 70 and Okeechobee Rd. They’ve been around for more than 60 years, rebuilt after a massive fire gutted the restaurant couple years ago and has been a staple for fantastic BBQ for us locals for years. We drive an hour South from our home in Brevard all the time for a quick lunch or dinner with friends…it’s just that good

[@gregmaday1331]

My thoughts exactly!!! 😊

[@sroevukasroevuka]

Good BBQ place is always a good thing. That and a good diner or breakfast place. Part of the hobby.

[@berkeleygang1834]

Meeting you at the Jacksonville Train Show was a highlight of the event for me. Keep up the good work.

[@distantsignal]

Thank you!

[@WideWorldofTrains]

I always thought you had a great speaking voice, now I see why!

[@jackfisher840]

Hey Danny, I'm starting my 3rd week of CSX Conductor school in Atlanta GA. Last week one of our instructors showed your signals videos. He said he had just discovered you and marveled at how good your videography is!

[@CountrySedan400]

Distant Signal has to get a taste!

[@limbandtreeremoval]

So true...

[@ricksosbee3913]

Great video. Really enjoyable. I work on collins st in plant city. Train activity all day. I enjoy taking a break when they come through. Something really relaxing about train watching. Thanks for the video.

[@savannahhoward524]

David is my dad! Thanks for the shout-out.

[@distantsignal]

No problem. Please tell him hello for me!

[@countdooku1971]

Nothing makes your day like a Danny Harmon video. Educational, informative, and entertaining. I always look forward to seeing them pop up in my feed. Thanks for all you do, Danny and keep up the great work 👍

[@rickeyferguson296]

Hi Danny! I am so glad that I recently discovered your Channel. I have been hired as a Conductor for one of our nation's Class 1 railroads and I was searching KZbin for some instructional Conductor videos when your page came up. Besides being enjoyable videos, I find that I learn much watching your quality presentations. I will begin my Conductor's training in another week. I will be 500 miles from home but I know it will be time well spent as I am absolutely determined to pass the exams at the end of my training weeks and become the very best Conductor that I can be. Both my lovely wife and I are quite excited at what lies ahead just 'around the bend'. Thank you so much for all you have taught me. And your positive, upbeat spirit is both uplifting and encouraging. My very best to you always sir. God bless! Rickey

[@johndanaher6371]

Good luck with your training and future career.

[@cbmonje]

The railfan "Timesaver" game was developed in the 1970's, and is now a game ap. Deliberately difficult switching challenges are presented. Delivering three cars in a small yard with the minimum number of moves is the objective. Switching assignments get trickier, almost seeming impossible.

[@kevinheard8364]

Rickey: As others would easily offer, "Good Luck to you"; but this channel really is "the premier" railfan channel.... no hesitancy at all in that assessment.

[@SRQmoviemaker]

Best of luck out there on the high irons!

[@rapturebound197]

God bless ya Rickey! Enjoy your days railroading. 🚂 🚃 🚃 🚃

[@alexnorfolksouthernmedia]

I'm only 8 and watching your videos makes me a better and wiser video railfanner and hope to do the same to educate future railfanners when I'm your age! Thanks Danny! -Alex

[@wavesnbikes]

It's a good day when Danny uploads!! 😁😁😁

[@davidlewis9068]

Thanks for the frequencies. I live in Highlands County near the CSX and Amtrak routes and will be looking forward to watching and listening to the trains here.

[@gringo4x4do]

Another WELL Done Video and Narrative from You !

[@davidremy4470]

It's always a treat when I get the notification that Distant Signal has a new post. Ever the professional, Danny always has the best content, very through and easy to understand. Thanks Danny !

[@RCAvhstape]

He also manages to not have ads cutting into the middle of his vids the way some other railfan youtubers do.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Morning Danny. Always love your videos 👍🏻 I’m hoping to get out to America 🇺🇸 one day when I retire in about a years time so I can actually see theses magnificent trains instead of watching them on fantastic channels like yours 😀 Back home in the UK 🇬🇧 we have a lot of intermodal trains with a maximum length of 750 metres lol 😆 with a single class 66 with a EDM V12 two stroke engine that were built in the US 🇺🇸 Take cheers Stevie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@michaelburroughs7494]

You do know some good Bar-b-que places. It's nice to know where the good food is when out watching trains.

[@kens.3729]

Florida’s # 1 Railfan has posted a New Video. Always Enjoy your videos, Danny. Thanks! 👍🙏

[@johnfisherjr.5911]

Thanks for making this video. I'm in the Tampa area this week and have been able to visit 4 of these locations. I really appreciate all the info! Plant City is a great place, nice downtown along with the museum and train watching platform.

[@johnwinter8273]

Even though I rarely get to FL, I enjoy your interesting and informative videos. 👍

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Danny nails it again - I live in Tampa and agree with his list of hot spots!

[@distantsignal]

Many thanks Lee!

[@AlexW5354]

Terrific video as always. I would love to hear from you on the train derailment in Ohio and get some of your thoughts on the situation. Would be nice to hear someone who knows what they're talking about instead of everyone else who became a freight rail expert overnight.

[@davaldrumgoole4724]

Great detail. Well appreciated

[@Railfan62]

Another great video! I always look forward to seeing your videos! I also love the reviews of where you eat at! Thank you so much.

[@bobparsons77]

Great evening with Danny.

This was an awesome video. Thanks 👍

[@MikeG42]

Another excellent video 👍

[@rustyr0824]

What a difference from 2001 in GA to 2023 in FL with the quality of the video. Excellent job with voice overs, super clear and crisp voices, video cut ins and drone cut ins. Great Job!!!

[@joshuam.6404]

Spotted a Stobe sticker on the Remote Locomotives sign! ✊

[@jameschristiansson3137]

2:54 - I missed that, thanks.

[@billreal76]

Thanks for another interesting video. Love the memorabilia on your fence.

[@markmcconaughy6605]

Danny I just recently found your channel and I’ll tell your brother is one of the most professionally produced productions I’ve ever seen in it to unlike a lot of other train videos. It never seems to get boring you don’t dwell on just endlessly letting out of 200 car free train. You show me the whole thing I don’t need to see the whole thingand your information is always seems to be very accurate. I really appreciate your efforts her brother best to you Mark McConaughy.

[@southmassrailfan]

Im leaving for florida tonight and i literally NEED this right now. Thank you so much Dan..

[@shawnwhipple8503]

Great video Danny. It's always a good day when a Distant Signal pops up. Thanks for the work you put into these.

[@MrBillCNW]

Thank you Danny for taking the time to display another great video. take care sir. 🤓

[@MrKnowles77]

Hey Mr. Danny.. I’ve gotta admit that you’ve made me a CSX fan now. I grew up in Central Mississippi on what is now called the Meridian Speedway. Lots of intermodal trains. Former ICG.

[@guildpilotone]

Another fascinating video, thanks!

[@-KingOfKhaos]

Your channel provides so much valuable info for rail fans! Thank you!

[@wescreek3493]

[@jackdennis4908]

17:45 Danny I really enjoy Distant Signal. I have lived in Clearwater since 1985. I grew up in Huntington WV and my nephew works in the CSX shops there. Huntington was a great railroad town for many years.

[@talk2azs]

Tank you Danny for your knowledge off RR fanning in the centra/west Centralr railroading knowledge.

[@DesertRailProductions]

[@DB-xu5bm]
