I love this video! A lot of good information- nice locations as well...I can't help but think what it was like back in the 70's! Or before the merger!!! Great video! Rich Hill
we had that kind of thing like at 6:34. there was a CN train that was turning on the wye at 15 mph, and the cars, especially the tankers, were making a sound like they were gonna tip over. Some of the tankers carry liquified petroleoum gas.
Danny, this kind of stuff is what I love...so do you know why the road has never been opened to traffic in Lakeland??? That is an awful lot of money for crossing equipment that basically serves no purpose...not CSX's fault but still...and next time you're at Vitis see if you can find that old wye track that once existed there...well, I read somewhere that one once existed there, not sure Eugene
Ugh, scrapping scrapping scrapping. Why not store them in Baldwin, I mean, that's what they use Baldwin for now, lol. But that's just my opinion. Cool video, as alwayz ;)
What i like about this is you gicve us the locations of where you are catching trains at which is good for anybody whose never been to the area or is a rookie ;)
Simply awesome! Not only the camerawork, but also the commentary. It's invaluable to someone like me planning a move (or a least to spend the winters) to FL within the next year or so.
Experience, my friend. Many hours of sitting and waiting, writing down train numbers, times and locations. Plus some help from company timetables and sometimes...yes, ATCS. Ooooooooohhhhhhh!!
that was nice with the 3 Dash8's on that CSX, and nice an SD40 on O822 i think, and just once again, great video, you need tio go railfanning more often, and what type of editiing do you usefor your vids, WMM, or something else. And one mor ething, what type of scanner do you have and antenna, i have just gotten a new scaneer, but the antenna is crap. Happy Railfanning
Great job, Danny. Nice catch of the very rare K974 that somehow flew under the radar of both Tim and me, and of the usual suspects and my personal favorites, Q452 & Q453. That spot in the parking lot of First Choice looks really good. Five stars and Fav'd... I gotta know --- Did you plan your outing to coincide with the final move out of Coronet or did you just get lucky that day? ;-)
Both 974 and the Coronet move were just dumb luck. Coronet happened on May 9th and several of us were out for "National Train Day".
The job caught my attention when they came around the Lake Wales Jct. going south. We chased them down to the Coronet storage track and watched the whole movement.
I thought there was a supermarket warehouse on the Coronet spur that CSX was delivering cars to....that must've been some time ago though. No chance of that warehouse ever getting rail service if CSX takes the spur out. Always sad to see the last train movement on any line.
once again another great video from the great mr. danny harmon, hey danny, im going to be moving and there are tracks that belong to s shortline 15 from it, i cant wait
Excellent video as always Danny! K974 runs from Miami to Jacksonville. What day was that taken? I was waiting for the longest time for one to finally leave, but never saw it.
AWESOME VIDEO, Danny! May I ask what day you caught K974? I live 3 miles from the FL Rock Plant in Tamiami and the sunlight looks like you caught it recently. Great catches of the other trains too! Faved!
I remember seeing a video of Q452 and Q453 meeting at Vitis Junction and Q453 had a same train I think.

Really enjoy the maps you have added! I always tried to find the spots on Google maps (helps get the big picture feel), but this makes it easier.
What is the situation with the "crossing gates to nowhere"? Looks like land that someone would want to develop in the past 18 years.

Did the defect detector at Kathleen go off as soon as the train hit it? I thought they went off as soon as the train passed over it.

Most DD's will announce an ID when the first axle rolls over. Then, when the train has fully passed they report.
At least this is how it is ON CSX.
