Hey guys! I love the new introduction! This was definitely one of the best "Grab Bags" I've seen, especially with the engines saying "Hello!" to each other in Paradise and now in Wichita! Great work!
1:12 LTEX ex-BNSF SW1500 on a CSX train 1:33 12-unit power move 3:33 a race around the old station 5:14 I thought an Amtrak train in Massacheuttets was usually one or two cars long. Most of the other Amtrak Midwest trains were 3-4 cars long prior to 2017 7:32 mid-train DPUs showing a combined autorack and empty military train 7:50 UP 1996 as mid-train DPU. also the first time I remember seeing a UP train carrying FedEx and YRC trailers as those two companies partner with BNSF 8:00 BNSF 7695 leading! 9:37 UP 1943 as DPU 10:14 I like that old WP hopper 11:04 the BAR cowl unit reversing into Revelstoke yards 14:22 CEFX 2005 is a GP20D. I stood on unit 2017 in the year 2013 15:42 freaky horn on that unit 15:54 an OmniTrax geep on one train and a GMTX one on the other in an 11-unit lash-up 18:30 notice the cab moving separately from the rest of the body 19:42 N&W steam loco 475 and Amtrak diesel 100 "Midnight" 22:40 amazing snowplow action on the first of the pair of YN2s 23:48 Transportation Technology Services caboose! This company specializes in transporting special loads and making special freight cars to do so 24:10 quite the exhaust coming from this DPU 25:18 wow, a B&LE unit! 27:13 now this is a really cool shot 28:26 that, is broken!
5:15 “shortest Amtrak on our cameras” is simply not true. The valley flyer featured on the Springfield cam is comprised of 1 GE genesis, 1 coach, and 1 cab car!
@@dannymccarty6680 I'm pretty sure tornadoes could do it. All a gust of wind really needs to do is to be powerful enough to push the train over past the tipping point. It's the same principles an airplane uses to fly, if the wind on the top of the locomotive is sufficient even a SD60M could, in theory, be tipped over.
It looks like there is a bright light fixture that shines toward the VR camera, it is much more noticeable at night, if the light isn't blocked out (I don't know how they do that) it would blind the camera.
That’s a barrier erected to protect the VR camera from a blinding light. You will see why it’s there during night videos - during the day it not so obvious.
The choice of music for the dancing signal was genius.

YAY , 1ST GOLDEN SWOOSH OF '22
THX...
Very cool at 1:18 LTEX 1514. This SW1500 was built for Frisco, became BNSF 3428. I photographed 3429 in Duluth in 2016.

27:13 now this is a really cool shot
28:26 that, is broken!
11:35 What a Race!
19:12 this is the BEST part in my opinion cause the horn show
11:15 nice paint for the Bangor & Aroostook RR, one of a kind.
28:22 Now that is something you do NOT see everyday(definitely).
You know it's cold when the crossing gate is shivering. ;)
19:49 Midnight Blue!!
0:45 where will the military train go to?
I know it passed Wyoming by now
Trains heading toward California (that is, westbound) usually wind up at Fort Irwin.
I'm guessing Ft. Lewis, Washington for winter training.
Love ya content VirtualRailfan! Its really wicked! Love ya locos 😍😍
At the 8:56 marker I saw that same train pull into the Yermo yard this morning at 6:50 and I'm sure it's next stop is the Marine base here in Yermo.
Great Grab Bag! A lot of Commemorative Units as bonus. Thank you.
Fantastic grab bag 😃👍
Od Yishama is played at weddings
That new intro with the computer was nice
The shot beginning at 19:16 was worthy of the late, lamented Dave Oblivion.
Hey I was in Kearney on Sunday at the cam
Very Good one.
This is great
Nice
Wonderful video
Good Video 👍👍👍
You should do a VR funniest moments compilation and I nominate the dancing signal to be on it!
Fantastic
Keep em coming
Another great video! I wondered why there was no traffic on the line.
Nice video my friend
Would love to hit that train show up this weekend but that's a bit of a haul from KC. 😞
🌵☘️🇮🇳🌵☘️,
Nice Coverage
Don't pull away until after we can see all the motive power road numbers.

19:06 Almost got MARTA'ed there
Awesome grab bag!
At 26:29 it looked like a Plymouth switcher
It is! Unnamed, not numbered. Belongs to the museum, they use it to rearrange things.
Thanks so much, for all the work involved in putting this up! TEXX101 Rules!
Nice intro.
Spongebob reference: 14:38
27:42 what is that little diesel
What’s causing the bouncing at 18:16?
A gust of wind, most likely.
The wheels slipping on the rails.
@@DarkVoidIII Takes a pretty stiff wind to bounce a 386,000 pound SD60M!

#5 is ALIVE!!! just needs RUSSIAN boots 👢 and hat 👒 and don't forget the Votca 🍸🧊.
Why the grayed out area in Elkhart?-2:46??
It looks like there is a bright light fixture that shines toward the VR camera, it is much more noticeable at night, if the light isn't blocked out (I don't know how they do that) it would blind the camera.
That’s a barrier erected to protect the VR camera from a blinding light. You will see why it’s there during night videos - during the day it not so obvious.
So when is the next live chat for the train watching?
What would be an estimate of the number of rail fans?
Not sure of the exact estimate, but that was us at 15:41 catching 8103 in Elkhart!
@@Shakes1420 I just went back and looked............Howdy
24:53 this train i see it in this cam
