Why They Run Locomotives Back to Back

I get this question a lot and thought I would try to answer it as I understand it. Also some pieces of video I've shot over June and July 2021

No loud garish music...
No robo voice...
No manufactured drama...
No false info...

Man this is so enjoyable to watch! Bravo!

This video convinced me that it would be way cooler to have an executive train than an executive jet.

Word on the street (or should I say rail) is the guy who narrates this was the backup for modern marvels on the history channel. This dude has an amazing delivery.

Sincerely,
Someone who could care less about trains but I'm 15 min deep and it's like a "train wreck" ha. I can't look away

[YaMMsAh]

Is it just me or did this guy narrate every informative video you've ever watched?

[htoddgriffin]

Almost 23 minutes of pure, concentrated education. This man really knows his stuff.

[jerrys]

I just stumbled onto this channel, I'm not really that interested in trains, but this is one of the most entertaining videos I've seen in a long time. Your passion for, and knowledge of the subject is impressive. Very nicely done.

When I was a kid 45 years ago, I had my model railroad set that I pieced together. Well 1980 went into the Navy as a radioman. Got out and slugged out a small career as a cook. Got tired of that and got doing light auto and truck repair till 2 years ago. Now at 59 I am working on mainline fire and heavy diesel engines. Watching these videos makes me wonder how I would of done as a locomotive mechanic. I am absolutely hooked on this channel, and the narration is so spectacular. Keep up the good work and thank you.

I don't generally watch this kind of stuff with any form of regularity, but the quality you've presented here is utterly amazing, it takes me back to watching train stuff with my Grandpa as a kid, you've definitely earned a subscriber! I look forward to watching more and seeing your new stuff as time goes by!

There’s NO Other Railfan Channel that gives a play-by-play detailed narration. You’re Off the Charts.

Anytime I see a younger railfan out with their parents I make sure to give a good horn show. I remember the feeling getting the same thing growing up. Love the channel!

[haroldseaman]

This is my new thing my son just recently graduated and is now a conductor for CSX! He was a jock growing up and I a nerd so we had little to talk about lol! Growing up I had several train sets and have always been a fan. We are always talking about his job and might I say I'm jealous lol!!!

[SurplusMarket]

Recently reignited my childhood love of trains after playing some train sim games, and this channel perfectly scratches that itch that’s been building because of it. Love building on the education, and learning the systems and processes behind everything.

[bogusbits]

I really appreciate Danny narrating the video in post production and making the scanner audio mixed with the train sounds during recording. It makes for a most pleasant viewing and listening experience!

[truckinpoppop]

The cadence of your voice is so professional and the narration is outstanding!! I’m a fan. 👍🏼

[loftsatsympaticodotc]

What wonderful diction you display in this very clear video that you have made. Thank you from a lifelong railfan.When about nine or ten years old, I used to regularly hop a slow-moving Freight. it took me two thirds of the way to my school after lunch. It was great fun though probably quite risky hanging on a ladder staring down at the moving rails and the hundreds of tons of boxcars to which I was completely oblivious of course at the time. Of course all of this stopped suddenly when the principal was contacted by the railroad! In retrospect, it was highly risky what we were doing, but the memory is still thrilling some sixty years later.

I'm 69 years old now and I live in Indiana and I have been around railroads and trains all of my life in one way or another from riding on passenger trains when I was young to living near railroads and listening to the freight trains pass by day or night. Up until I was 13 years old my Mom, my brothers and sisters, and I would start our summer vacations every year by taking the Rock Island Express from Chicago to El Paso Texas in order to get to Juarez Mexico where I was born to visit my moms family. I loved it and I would always look forward to it every year. My parents have both passed away years ago and I have not been on a train since so I treasure those memories. But now I have always managed to find myself living near railroads and listening to the freight trains passing by and bringing those memories back to me. Thank you for giving me an insight into the workings of the freight trains that I have enjoyed listening to and watching pass by all of these years.

[brothacontext]

That young railfan brought a tear into this railfans heart. This is what we like seeing.

[pacificcoastpiper]

Your young buddy made me chuckle about how darn smart he is

[WilliamCooper]

This is fantastic. I am from the north of England and know almost nothing about American railroads, but find these videos incredible. And your narration is fantastic.

[comis]

I am a grown man and I waved back at the conductor when he waved to the camera... I felt silly until I realized how entertaining this video is and how great the narration is. It reminded me of a local newscaster from when I was a kid who would talk about the beauty all around us using almost the same voice and cadence. This is the most relaxing thing I have done all year! thanks! I just subscribed
