That vintage Baldwin 2-6-6-2 steam locomotive (1309) at 14:15 and at 18:37 is incredible! Love seeing the vintage Heritage Steam Locomotives still chugging along the rails! 👍What a way to welcome the Cumberland railcam to the world of Virtual Railfan.
@@kevinfan726 We have a few operational ones here in Michigan. The Pere Marquette 1225 Berkshire which inspired the movie Polar Express, the Little River Railroad, the narrow-gauge Huckleberry Railroad northeast of Flint, the locomotives at Greenfield village, etc. It would be great if the UP Big Boy 4014 could pay us a visit.
4:12 - this looks funny in first look, but it’s actually a maneuver to get around being stuck in the Tucson yard behind a freight being put together. 45 minutes lost in running out to the next switch as opposed to gawd knows how long in the yard. Fortunately M2 was clear for a good while. A freight actually did come in during the stop, about twenty minutes in. Sad day, too. Creamsicle lost her crow and dismembered hand.
It got much worse today. #4 was very late and ended up blocking the crossing. Lots of people in town, nobody waiting, so dozens of people walked down the platform and crossed the tracks right behind the train. Nobody wanted to go the extra few feet to the other crossing. On top of that there was a medical emergency with a boarding passenger.
This is the best grab bag ever and winter is coming in one month and I hope there is a lot of snow on the train cams and I like seeing trains in the snow
4:12 My best bet, they didn't want to stop on the mainline, or make passengers cross over a busy track, so they went farther down the line and backed into the platform.
What happened (I was in the chat when this was explained) is that M1 was blocked by a big freight being assembled, so, when it looked like M2 and the western switch were clear for a while #1 was switched to M2, bypassed the Tucson station, switched to M1 and backed up with a conductor riding the rear door. A 45 minute delay, but otherwise #1 might have been stuck in the Tucson yard for hours. Flagstaff has regular stops on M2, meanwhile. They load from one or another of the crosswalks in that case. Tucson doesn’t have that.
That right hand running rail looks a bit nasty, at Chehalis at video time 26:09, it makes the train dip and jump and even appears to have a bad bit at the crossing. Left rail looks OK though.
(@18:50) While filling the tender with water is cool, check out the old Bettendorf type freight trucks on the hopper car right behind it; you don’t see those anymore - especially the ones converted to roller bearings. 😂👍🏼❤️
This was a great Grab Bag, Doubles (meets), trios, and great horns! Favors BNSF and CSX. Great seeing of Western Maryland rail cars, and the vintage Stream locomotives. Can not understand human beings thinking that train tracks belongs to the rail system and is not for running in front of moving trains. You only have one life, value it. I wonder if Amtrak knew they had a fire? Thanks for this fabulous Grab Bag.
Again No trespassing on rail road property, & Never go around the lower gates! as always see track think train. be safe y'all. And Love The C&O.WMSR 1309!! 🚂🛤
If anyone has wondered the green box cars with circle with a 3 legged tree inside is Boise Cascade out of Boise Idaho. Some of the plastic wrapped lumber with a tree is a group of mills out of Idaho. Owned partly by Boise Cascade.
La Grange local L404s engineer retired Friday 4th, hope he has long happy healthy retirement. Guess end of an era with all the waving/filming from guy in the trailing geep 😁

Many trains have a combination of different companys locos. Is there enforced comonality of multiple unit controls. Here in UK there are a multitude of incompatable coupling and control systems which cause chaos when a train breaks down
I had no idea how continuous weld rails were transported until just now seeing this video. Being a layman, this channel is great (if not cryptic with inside info only railroaders would know) for getting an informed glimpse into the American railroad system. Thanks for posting.
Seriously? Is there some kind of contest going on in Flagstaff called Dumb*ss Chicken? First the fool that almost got hit trying to retrieve something on the tracks and a train nearly clocking them them other day and now this. Wow. These folks ain't the brightest bulbs in the pack.
Nope. M1 was available but you can't load/unload. Ran up about five miles and then switched to the M2. Took about a 1/2 hour to do this and reverse back into the station. M1 was blocked by a WB freight.
@4:35 this train looks like it bypassed Tucson until it could cross over to the opposite track, then reversed to the station. Why it wasn't on this track initially is why I don't mess with Amtrak.
Horn of the Year Award: Sounds like it is a microphone fault, not a horn fault. The background sounds are suffering a similar degradation to that evident from the horn.
You missed the spot there bud. good job keeping the cam clean at the end. For that Darwin guy that plays chicken to the train that was coming, that could've cost your life if you keep doing that.
look i believe in safety , but when the RR's block roads and hold up traffic people can't just sit for long periods of time ! in some of these DARWIN AWARDS should go to the RRs !!!!
1309 what a beautiful train engine!

22:04 -in Wichita, maybe, but we already had first snow in Flagstaff two days ago and it already melted. Boo.
That was nice that the engineer shut off the bright lights for a few seconds for the other train. Coutesy! Manners!

Wonder what the waiting passengers thought as the train rolled by.
I've seen as many as a dozen people cross in front of a train at Flagstaff. Hope I'm not watching when someone slips up.

On top of that there was a medical emergency with a boarding passenger.
At that point, I'd feel sorry for the engineer & the rest of the crew on board the train, at the time, when that happens.
Love seeing that girls reaction. When she turned around and saw the 'other one'. 7:34 😂
This is the best grab bag ever and winter is coming in one month and I hope there is a lot of snow on the train cams and I like seeing trains in the snow
6:07 “On tonight’s episode of the X-Files….”

I thought orginally a overshot. Glad to know it was a line issue. Thanks
@@wyldemusick Thanks for the explanation. They go about five miles northwest to a location called Stockham and the reverse took about 1/2 hour.
2:54 7245 new UP paint scheme. Flags haven't been put on yet on the nose
7:19 8479 New paint scheme completed. Wings are gone and flags in place.
Boy, Flagstaff is sure seeing a lot of Darwin's!
So is Elkhart!

Only one of the DC clips involved a moving train. Perhaps a little better curation by the editor, otherwise it's getting dull.
The lightning strikes at Big Sandy, TX during last night’s thunderstorms were awesome.
Haha its great to see the military vehicles where I work end up on here.

2.6 mile long freight train WOW unbelievable. Impressive or what.
The horseshoe curve stuff is always fun to watch. I was there once in 2020, and I'm hoping to go back in the future.
Again in flagstaff with people running across the tracks? Is there a bar there? Geesh

At 0130 in the morning they were probably powered up by alcohol.
Could there be any better use of "get a life!"....???? 😉
@20:04 do those cars say PPL on them?
When is it safe (for non-railroad employees) to cross tracks other than at a crossing? Never.
The weather was dreadful in Wichita on Friday November 4. Miserable cold rain and high winds all day.
it was the same here, as seen in Chehalis footage. terrible wind and lots of rain.

Nope. M1 was available but you can't load/unload. Ran up about five miles and then switched to the M2. Took about a 1/2 hour to do this and reverse back into the station. M1 was blocked by a WB freight.
0:07 does anybody know why Amtrak’s Cascade’s trains, which use horizon cars, have gone down to three cars instead of four?
Probably don't have enough of them now that the train to Vancouver BC is running
What would they be using the other ones on, though?
@@IGuessIDoThings They were running 6 trains, now 8 with the Vancouver ones. So they had to stretch limited cars across more trains.
@@oregonpaul3752 thanks I didn’t know that the frequency increased

Horn of the year sounds like a sad, homeless cat.
Simply walking across tracks where nothing is moving does not qualify as a Darwin Candidate. Perhaps that whole thing should just be retired.
Why does the editor of this channel think that the plural of Darwin is Darwin's? Apostrophes are *not* supposed to be used for plurals.
Yes!! More than one IS Darwins. Good catch there! Or, maybe darwins wd be better???
Second

Nope. Second!
Unsubscribed due to what I consider poor behavior however I will still watch from time to time. Hope that’s OK.
