Have ridden and worked the Northern Sky and sister car the Northern Dreams several times. wonderful cars and wonderful owners.
Dont lick the truck,dont drool an drive. Gotta love the ad campaign. 😊
5:38 The rail-gang member riding on top of the rail-train made think what it must have been like back when the tops of long trains were dotted with brake-men, tuning the hand-brakes upon signals from the locomotive. Quite a view!
14:16 That's a double Darwin! Trains coming from both directions.
0:09 this SD9043MAC is still owned by UP. Most were sold to CP and NS around 2017 to become SD70ACus
0:48 Greenridge farm trailers. I've seen "Please don't 👅the truck" ones a few times on trains
1:46 nuclear waste train
2:10 Soo Line hoppers
2:45 CSX 1973 leading
2:59 NS ex-BNSF dash 9
3:19 wow, NS 1069 and 8098 doubleheading!
3:34 Amtrak 161 "Arrow" on the Southwest chief
4:05 12-unit power move. All dash 9s except for the 11th unit which is an H2 GEVO.
5:02 CP GEVO, KCS SD70ACe, CP GEVO, CP Desert Storm Military SD70ACu, CP AC44CW, CP heritage SD70ACu, and CSX AC44CW
5:19 one of the cars on this NS welded rail train has a height gauge wire to clean the roofs of tunnels
6:02 ex-citirail GEVO and an SD40-2 that was built for CN which explains the extended roof of the electrical compartment, sold to KCS and got repainted gray, then sold to Grand Trunk Western where it got the number 5951 using Illinois Central Stencils and the CN logo
6:14 CSX 1852 in Western Maryland country
6:42 CSX 1976
7:04 Northern Sky private car on the Capitol Limited
7:52 large mOW equipment moving itself over the Burlington bridge
8:25 CN doubleheader with marker lights on! The trailing unit is an ex-BC Rail unit
8:56 NS 4005 with new CPKC GATX autoracks. i believe only one loco has been painted in CPKC red, yellow ,and black so far
9:22 Chessie and Conrail boxcars
10:03 this one car missed its opportunity to turn right before the train blocked it. It's only a 4-car local job so the train managed to stop before it hit the car
11:24 busted SP boxcar door
12:13 CP heritage and CN doubleheading
12:43 Amtrak 187 with Big Game Train logos leading the California Zephyr
13:33 BNSF 5441 is painted in H2, but has the mid-section of an H1 loco
13:40 UP yellow and warbonnet doubleheader
14:14 this guy runs in front of two oncoming trains! One has a KCS, NS, and CP triple-header
The Northern Sky Car people looked as if they were having so much fun--travel on guys! 👋The bridge at Burlington is always beautiful, and so is the Virginian. It's been a while since an ad slogan (or two) made me laugh out loud, but Greenridge Farm managed it. Another great one--thanks so much!
That SD90MAC catch was insane
I thought UP had sold all of theirs off. I guess not
2:03, a wild caboose appears. lol.
Great Grab Bag! Thank you VR. ❤
That dragging piece of debris from the SP boxcar can be deadly.
What was it anyway--anyone know?
@@donnaj9964
Looks like it was a long piece of wood, like maybe a 2x4 or something that was part of the wooden crate that held the steel wheels in place so they wouldn't shift and it ended up breaking?
@@sanddabz5635 It certainly did look dangerous...ty for the info!
@@donnaj9964
👍
something defiantly shifted in that boxcar
I knew it! At 01:54 the gov't has found a UFO
ARE YOU KIDDING?? The loco must have stopped within INCHES of that car! The engineer was too good/nice.
Ending is perfect!
Yes, yes it was, lol!
Very nice videos ,very nice.
OG 90MAC to start the video off is absolutely awesome!
Did that person really think the train was going to "back up" and move or go around?
They were probably waiting for the train to swerve.
Probably sitting there swearing and yelling "MOVE!"🙄
GATX auto racks were nice, vintage road names, local in Lagrange, nice motors in Roanoke, great video!🛤🚂🍻
1:45 that train will most likely end up in Idaho.
That 4 x 4 timber wigglin' around like a toothpick in a pool shark's mouth.
1:11 YOU CANT MAKE ME!!!
And to think they have a driver's license.
No guarantees on the license these days!!!
Or maybe not. I see a lot of news stories about drivers without valid licenses. When the authorities take away the license, they should take away the car, too.
Excellent grab bag video !
I love the grab bags.
Is the Belen camera working? My brother lives watching train yards- Belen is his favorite. TIA
What is the frequency, Kenneth? Too much strangeness in La Grange. Is it in the water or the air?
LOL, Poor Dan Rather, He didn't have a clue.
Kentucky Fried Chicken 😂🎉
*Nice Video Nice Catches*
Wow, that SOO Line hopper at 2:20 looks free of graffiti...how does that happen, what's that car's story? They all have stories...
That Box Car is blind.... didn't you see it tapping a stick to make sure it wasn't straying from the rest of the train?
How do humans build such advanced machinery
I shall stop saying how dumb can people get? Some are taking as a challenge.....
"Please don't drool and drive." 😆 Whoever came up with that deserves a raise. Edit: NS's Conrail and Virginian units together!😃 Great catch. 2nd edit: great to see Western Maryland heritage unit made it to Cumberland.
Well if isn’t emd’s most powerful single prime mover locomotive
Wish there was a closeup of the Darwin award drivers face so we could see who they were
When you see a car with something hanging out of it like the box car with the shifted wheels, does someone report it or try stopping the train. Thanks for your vlogs from John in the United Kingdom.
13:29 There I am!
3:25 The OG Conrail heritage unit.
Up 90 mac incredible
Trains start your engines
0:33 waver at Tucson AMTRAK station.
Can anyone comment on whether the “debris” dragging from the SP boxcar in Wichita would have been detected by a dragging-equipment indicator? 🤔
The detectors I have seen only have detection plates along the tie length. The object hanging out in Wichita would probably not be detected - looked like it was dragging out beyond the tie.
@@yyzedd Thank you for your response! My speculation was that it would not; but for the safety of the train, it would seem an important feature for a detector.
Dont worry, relax, I won't 👅 the truck! 😅
Hi Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy
(sigh) The deranged of La Grange strike again.
12:11 Attempted robbery, for sure.
We were told a skid of steel wheels shifted, busting the door open. You can see the wheels.
First
Who cares
@@keithclark681 about you
I was hoping to see a VR Grab Bag with just trains, tracks and train fans
without seeing any Darwin Candidates in it but they just creep or run out
of nowhere nearly getting hit but I really enjoyed it as always Thank You.
🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲
We really don't want to see Darwin's either for the crew's sake, but they can't help themselves.
That Cask car wasn't loaded with spent fuel rods those get carried in a different carrier looks like a barbell. That one had a full core for a new either submarine or Ford CVN onboard and since the new Big E is getting her reactors soon I would bet that was one of them.
Thank you! I was wondering like anything what that was!
Men in black riding in that caboose, lol
Salutări din România 🙋🙋🇷🇴
I always loved trains and railroading in general. My grandfather on my mother's side would take me to the station when i was about 4 or 5 there to see trains.
That's great! Ask any Railfan how they got started and most will start out, "When I was a kid, my (fill with someone's name) took me to..." And let's not forget the first "Horn Salute" we all received from waving at the Crew, that might be the biggest bond of all!
@Peter-mt6lg: My grandfather was an engineer on the B & M, and against all regulations he took me on several rides including one overnighter on the pulp train up to Littleton NH… I still have his kerosene lantern clearly marked “property of Boston & Maine RR”.
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the trailers from trucks, that says, "Please don't drool and drive", the Heritage Units, and so much more, I like them, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.
Great comments. Don't forget the people who wave at the cameras!
Bro what in the, a 90mac???
Seems like 2015 again
The Hillshire Farm's Brown sugar sliced Ham tastes really yummy.
10.45 some people just aren't capable of having a drivers licence
Part of cribbing for the wheelsets!
When video recording any freight, expect the very unexpected, stay back and stay safe.
Road rage with a locomotive. Who will lose?
Simply beautiful video made ! Have a nice weekend, greetings from Switzerland
5:19 Today's silly question: How come the rails on the train don't stick out "longer" while they're going around the inside of the curve? 🙂
OK so the car at La Grange turned just as the gates lit up and barely started down, should they have stopped then and backed up? What would you have done driving? What if the parking stalls were full?
0:55 Commented on the Greenridge food van. Really good advertising.
love the food trucks
Never a boring day at La Grange 😂
I enjoyed seeing the Northern Sky Charter, Dome-car at Elkhart. It must be great having Coaches like that, our lousy UK Loading Gauge is so small and Victorian-minded - there's no chance of anything like it.
The name 'Northern Sky' reminded me of the American Folk-singer John McCormick, whom I met a couple times on his UK Tours and he performs the song, 'Northern Sky', which I like very much.
So Amtrak still allows private cars on the rear?
Hi Peter, Exactly what I mean. Private Cars attached to a Service Train is another example of something that would never be allowed or tolerated by the Rail Operators, Network Rail or Trade Unions - here in the UK. That is one of the reasons why USA Railroads are so good.@@Peter-mt6lg
Belle catture good job 👍💪👏
Great job grab Bag lots good stuff
