I used to take my students at the end of the school year for a field trip to Corning Glass where they got to talk with one of the 5 engineers who invented fiber optic glass, seeing the happy faces of all of the school kids brought back many wonderful memories. I would have loved to have gone on their field trip, I bet it was a ton of fun!!
Because it was a non-revenue equipment move back to Chicago due to a BNSF derailment near Emporia, KS. All the passengers had been disembarked and put on buses to continue their journey to L.A.
Especially this weekend, it was nice to see the veterans and first responder commemorative engines. Some really nice fallen flags and beautiful lightning, and best wishes to the firefighters in Wichita. Thanks for doing another great one on a holiday weekend!
Once again, some great rare Freight Car Catches tonight, thanks VRF. I recently spotted the Observation Coach 'Caritas' on a RUclips vid. She was on the South Shore Line, being hauled by CSS 2000 and I had been trying to find out a bit more about her, so thanks again. Interesting to watch the Rail replacement at Revelstoke. Whenever I see MOW I often think that all the highly specialized equipment is very impressive, but those white Road/Rail Trucks, that are so versatile and can be configured to any duty, are the real Workhorses, the Unsung Heroes.

The covered hoppers at Roanoke with "clay" stenciled on the side were probably carrying clay slurry. They probably put "clay" on the side to alert people what is inside.
There have been several recycling business fires out here where I live in Southern California. They all are a total and complete loss. Everything burns. Product, buildings, vehicles, you name it. If the fire gets started, let it go. Too dangerous to try and put out.
I like the WC Heritage GEVO but those engines aren’t very amenable to variations on the prototype’s paint scheme. What is needed is a new “Red Barn” GEVO with acres of flat sheet metal just waiting for the paint shop’s attention.

As a 20-year volunteer firefighter and 16-year FDNY Paramedic, I absolutely LOVE that CSX First Responder loco!

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.
Love that lightning at the end.
Great view of the "Pere Marquette' and 'Seaboard Coast Line' CSX Heritage Units. Thank you VR for a great 'Grab Bag' as usual!
Nice touch, isolating that unusual rolling stock, letting us read what’s on the sides!
The lighting on the first Cumberland MD cam clip makes that look like a model railroad.
Happy Sunday VR Friends👋🏻

2:24, There's CSX 1967, the Seaboard Coast Line heritage unit!

Awesome video VR!

Great video and MOW work with the cut off saws and welding equipment!🛤🚂
💪🏽💪🏽
It's hardly a wonder that that rail joint needed replacing with that mud hole just there.
At 13:13, are you telling me that after measuring the rail they're still 2-3 inches too long?
4:00 geeze, and it wasn't even a K&O locomotive that passed by just before the fire,this time..
The covered hoppers at Roanoke with "clay" stenciled on the side were probably carrying clay slurry. They probably put "clay" on the side to alert people what is inside.
Is it used for paper making? I know some paper is coated.
10:14 I saw this in DeKalb IL and my look on my face was a confused dog.
wonder what K&O set on fire this time?
Has anybody ever noticed how close Cumberland looks like a model railway layout?
At the 8:08+ mark, what was being sprayed? Vegetation killer?
Probably
Yes, vegetation killer.
Lot's of fires at witchita
4:06 - Just “THE GLOW ALONE”??? I would say at least “3 ALARM”….

Why, at about 13 minutes in, did the road gang find it necessary to grind the web of the rail, where the weight and year info would be???
Good grab bag! How come that Amtrak went through La Plata non-stop?
No passengers?
@@TinkerTailor4303 Had been cancelled...near Topeka I think. Ran about 10 hours late, no passengers!
I wonder if Clay is the product with in?
A hopper between two engines? Grain power?
When do we get this livecam back?
waka waka
LOL.
Why did the mow guys grind the side of the rails off like that?
So the machine can get a good electrical circuit and or grip the rail to pull it together.
Thanks. I see from your user name that you would know! @@WeldinMike27
Why do they rough up the web six feet on each side of the rail joint?
Where's the Deshler toilet???
4:30 I heat my home all winter with wood pellets. I hope they didn't burn up the ones that I buy........
Is that Smoke or Fire?.
Both.
DARWIN, think about it harder 🤔,
You would usually get one with the other 😮 it's called a FIRE 🔥 🤣🤣🤣
Is there anyone else on here who had to use a manual bonding drill?
Chriskent helio love you 😍❤ 😘♥ 😍 ❤ 😘

Those days are over, long gone, done... The BCOL 'barn' came from a need to see when switching with a slab-side cowl unit. RIP the BCOL C40-8M.
