That Rocky Mountaineer Train set is totally awesome. Also, a huge shoutout to each and every camera crew member doing a smashing job on focusing in on the unusual logos and the fallen flags. We've got nothing even close to this in the UK.
it's never nice to 'spend' other people's money, but, why don't you start a UK version of Virtual Railfan? Sometimes the only way to get what you want is to do it yourself. You 'know' lots of railfans from around the world will watch.
@@chaosdemonwolf1 Let's try this. I'm making an expensive suggestion that may 'cost' you in the way of time, and/or money, and/or effort. (It's me spending your money for you.) I do not know 'how' the funds were raised to start VRF. Could be any number of ways. How you go about raising the needed funds to start your future virtual busness is out of my hands. Not that you're on your own, as I'm sure you have some like-minded friends who'd be happy to help in one way or another.
@@thomasboese3793 Well I could always reach out to VRF. Perhaps he could advise me how to get started. I'm a pub owner so the funds are there depending on how much it would take to get started. I've got a railway station a block behind ne.
Yellowbonnet at 4:40, and it doesn't even have "BNSF" painted over the Santa Fe logo, and then there's a silver Santa Fe locomotive followed by another Yellowbonnet. Then a couple two, tree more silver Santa Fe locos, a Yellowbonnet slug, and then four MORE Yellowbonnets! Great catch!

Esas ferrococas han de habér entrado ahí mismo en la frontera de Sonora con Arizona ya sea por Nogales o Agua Prieta, quizá igual por Ciudád Juarez Chihuahua para ir hacia El Paso Texas o quizá entraron por Mexicali Baja California para pasár a Calexico California y de allí agarraron hacia Tucson Arizona, lo digo por que las locomotoras ferromex se avistan mucho allí en California y Arizona.
Sin embargo hace un año subieron otro video donde 2 ferrococas también allí pasaron y fueron grabadas en esa camara de esa estación ahí en Tucson Arizona.
Esque yo fui trabajo del ferrocarril en Aguascalientes cuando eran nacionales de México y luego se privatizó a Ferromex y a Kansas y antes los ferrocarriles no pasaban a los estados unidos de América no más llegaban a frontera
Good video. My favorite was the 75 containers from Amazon. In Flagstaff. They speeded up but it was fun to count them. And the military train. At Altoona. I am not into freights but will watch military trains.
1) @4:32 Geo car? I just learned about them. 2) @6:23 What's so rare about these Ferromex locomotives. I've been seeing a lot of them here on Grab Bag. 3) @9:28 What the heck is that?
Thanks for another great video. How do you choose your cmera locations? I think a good location would be a view of the Queensgate Yard off the western Hills Viaduct or the NS viewing platform in KY.
I know the merger is 'on', but has all of the ICCs paperwork "t"s been crossed and the 'i's dotted, and has the final ink been dry for a month or two? Yes, I believe the little KCS has shown up far more than in the past but who really knows.
By the 'front unit' looking at the 'target' trailing behind it, it knows if the alignment of the rails ie superelevation and degree of curvature are proper for the location. If it's not, then the 'arms' (not seen here) in the center of the front unit will realign the rail.
🇨🇦 Challenge for viewers...To place a 🇨🇦 Flag or a 🇺🇦 or a 🇺🇲 flag on any rail car if you can. Train must be stopped for you to do this. This challenge is for train workers as well who watch this channel. Good luck.
@@CRPULSE300 Yeah, it's like loosing a friend, or a family member when I hear a locomotive is scrapped. I wish every locomotive ever made could, would be preserved, and put in museums, ran on preservation/heritage railroads it's heartbreaking that it can't be a reality.
An exceptional musical ending. Sunset, a train and a fine sipping whiskey. Wonderful. Life is good.

Rocky mountaineer appearing a lot now. Cool paint scheme on the Ferromex. Already intrigued by "Crayola engine". Great grab bag!
That was a great compilation of our nation's rail system. Well done! -John
These grab bags just get better and better every day

Think I saw a Lewis Grain Co car on the Tucson camera this morning. I know it was an "old soldier" though. Thanks for keeping them alive.

Do new locomotives come with that new loco smell? New planes do.
Exteriors painted with Dupont. Imron do.
Over 40 years on the ATSF/BNSF, I can tell you that yes, yes they do!
In my opinion, they smell better than a new car!
New locos or coaching stock has its own unique smell when it's new.
Been watching old Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton movies on RUclips. Hilarious. Your little men in yellow just like them. So funny. 🙋♂️🇬🇧😀
Let us spray. Good one!
Love'd it....the end split screen...another beaut ! !
That Sante Fe engine at 14:00 has certainly seen better days.
These ferromex units are know as Coca Cola o Ferrococas, for the colors. I remember that I made the comment a few monts ago.
The Horse Shoe Curve caption should have read, “Trash passing on railroad property.”
Cool af watching the man on the Mountaineer catching the cam
That's Ferromex SD40-2 and SDP-40-2 wow that's awesome
Wonderful catches VRF!!
Is there a locomotive refurbish/rebuild facility in the vicinity of or south of Oklahoma City? Quite often, the nominal BNSF northbound trains appear to have several "brand new" NS locomotives in the head end consist!
Wabtec is just west of Texas Motor Speedway and just north of BNSF Alliance Intermodal yard in Fort Worth. Drive by there often on Hwy 114.
16:20 That's a little mean to NS. 😆😆 Also, I love the fact that some CSX employee rattle canning a logo onto a train has now entered into railroading lore.
Wow, fantastic lash ups in this grab bag!
Es un orgullo ver esas máquinas de Ferromex en Tucson Arizona saludos desde la CD del ferrocarril en Aguascalientes México

Also the Rocky Mountaineer at Revelstoke. Cool.
Nice to see sd40-2 and a weird sdp40🥰
We’re going to La Plata on Saturday! Expect to see us on the cam!
It still amuses me that LTEX is the reporting mark for "Larry's Truck and Rail".
1) @4:32 Geo car? I just learned about them. 2) @6:23 What's so rare about these Ferromex locomotives. I've been seeing a lot of them here on Grab Bag. 3) @9:28 What the heck is that?
Some of the Santa Fe units have really faded. thank you.
Loving this channel much more exciting than the UK stock I'm sorry to say
Thanks for another great video. How do you choose your cmera locations? I think a good location would be a view of the Queensgate Yard off the
western Hills Viaduct or the NS viewing platform in KY.
Wicked awesome video 🚂❤️😎👍
I think the NS locomotive fleet must be west of the Mississippi.
Also in the west of Pennsylvania.😀
Mexican trains are not lacking in the United States, they are made by Ferromex, in Mexico they are called ferrococa
Hopefully, if things go to plan and after years of saving, will be on the Rocky Mountaineer in August, can't wait!
This locomotives ferromex is sd40-2
Does Amazon have their own Intermodal terminal/distribution Center out West? Or do all of those containers go to a Railroad owned intermodal terminal?
Is it me, or have there been more KCS engines showing up since CP acquired them?
CPR has yet to acquire KCS as the STB is reviewing the merger before they allow them to merge.
I know the merger is 'on', but has all of the ICCs paperwork "t"s been crossed and the 'i's dotted, and has the final ink been dry for a month or two?
Yes, I believe the little KCS has shown up far more than in the past but who really knows.
I laughed hard when I saw that CSX Crayola engine. It looks silly.
At 1:28-1:35 All You Would've Needed Was A Union Pacific Diesel Locomotive LOL.
What is the purpose of the MOW equipment at 8:56? My guess is to measure something about the tracks, but what????
By the 'front unit' looking at the 'target' trailing behind it, it knows if the alignment of the rails ie superelevation and degree of curvature are proper for the location. If it's not, then the 'arms' (not seen here) in the center of the front unit will realign the rail.

I think the freight with the 20 locos along with the two slugs was a powermove and a mix freight combined into one?
I wonder how many of them will end up going to LTEX to be parted out and scrapped

4:36 is that a bnsf funeral train
Yes
What is the locomotive at 12:55?
What is that Crayola engine?
Those are some SD40's that were given the new scheme....
they are locomotives from my country SD40-2 and SDP40 gue de auguro fueron yebadas a Reparación pienso yo
If viewed quickly this would look like a Monon unit with the 1950s scheme
@@paulbergen9114 Good ideas never die, they pop up anew.
9:45 Catfish dinner!
Ha ha... The "Crayola" scheme. In Mexico, this new Ferromex scheme is called the "Coca-Cola scheme."
