7:50 Brave squirrel; patient eagle. 👍
I'm sure CSX & Amtrak would love to have a word with the pickup truck driver that knocked down the crossing gate. The Darwin in Fairport was lucky to get that car pulled out of the tracks before a train came along. The same can't be said for the other Darwin in Chehalis, regardless of the outcome. Either way, I hope we railfans got a good example of what these railroad companies mean when they cite "vehicle incident" as a reason for a train's major delay.
9:25 i was there, parked right out of frame when it happened. ran to the gates and called the emergency number, really glad I had that knowledge in the moment!
Good for you! It's excellent that you knew what to do and did it--thank you for helping.
2:30 The train coming out of and disappearing into the fog is really cool.
The closing video of the train crossing the fog-covered river was surreal. It looked like the train tracks were floating on a cloud! Great work to capture this masterpiece! Thank you!
I was going to say the exact same thing, 😎
I believe that this is regarding the vehicle on the tracks at Chehalis:
A woman was arrested in the 500 block of West Main Street at 11:10 p.m. on Dec. 20 and was booked into the Lewis County Jail for driving under the influence after her car was hit by a train. She and the vehicle’s passenger reportedly got out of the vehicle at some point, leaving the vehicle on the train tracks, but the driver told dispatch “she doesn’t know if she was in the car or not when she got hit by the train.” Possible minor injuries were reported. BNSF reported the collision just after 11:15 p.m. on Dec. 20 and stopped all trains until the tracks were cleared. The tracks were reopened just before 12:30 a.m. on Dec. 21
No wonder it took them so long to get going again. Thanks for the info--what a mess.
The girl that got back in the car qualified as a Darwin Award candidate!
I'm sure her eyeballs dilated.
@@bengone3349 And I'll bet she had to change her underwear too! Toot, Toot!!
She acted like she’d missed a parking space at the mall. She acted like the train was trying to steal her parking spot.
Actually that was the smartest thing she could have done, her and the door was taking all the room that the locomotive needed to squeeze past her car, getting out on the passenger side would have been a much better choice under the circumstances.
I just wanted to say Have a very 🎄Merry Christmas🎄 to all of the
Train fans here at the Virtual Railfan Grab Bag and Thank You.🎀🎀
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨
LOVE the train on the bridge in the fog at the end of the grab bag! What a great scene. Merry Christmas Virtual Railfan!
Dear Drivers, If you see a dark gravel road with two shiny parallel streaks running perpendicular to the paved road you're on, it might be railaroad tracks.
That second one acted like they missed the parking space at a mall and that the vehicle coming at them was a van. Sad.
Or just don't drink and drive.
Gee, d'ya think???
“Here’s your sign,” as Jeff Foxworthy would say.
I believe a Kentucky or Tennessee beverage could have been involved but 😏
I can't believe that the person got back into the car right in front of that train. That pick up knocking down the grade crossing signal. Last on the video, a truck trailer knocking lights off the crossing arms or gates. What a crazy world we live in.
Not a crazy world, a crazy country....shouldn't lump other countries in with U.S.
Yesterday looking at the Burlington cam I saw the Amtrak train crossing the fog covered Mississippi. One of the greatest things I have ever seen on Virtual Railfan. Truly magical. Thanks for showing it and putting music behind it!
Gotta love a Great Grab Bag.
Looks like there's a lot of impaired driving going on right now. Be careful on the roads over the Holiday Season, folks.
The last take of the bridge above the mist is pure poetry.
Yes, loved the melody with it also.
The car in Chehalis got at least clipped by the train. The car was just close enough to where the overhang of the train would have made a slight impact with the car.
Just love those Amtrak engines,setting new records,as 45,and 78 RPM! Bit old fashioned,but there are available puns! Way to go,Amtrak Los Angeles!! Thank you 😇 😊!
VRF Merry Christmas to Staff and crew for the excellent time and efforts you provide to the Railfans the enjoyment of the great videos (Grab Bags) that we all enjoy seeing. Thanks again for the great job.
Blows my mind how drivers are so careless at crossings. hope your Christmas was great.
Nice touch at the end. ❤
awesome grab bag
Had to rewind tom see if Eagle got the squirrel. First look I thought he was dinner. Keep the great camera work.
That was a whole lot of craziness, all the same day?
Wow! Great catching all the trains, especially the military trains, train meets in Altoona, Pennsylvania, 2 cars stuck on train tracks, one crossing gate knocked down, and more, @Virtual Railfan, thank you and merry Christmas and happy new year.
*Nice Catches*
That bridge shot is stunning.
Those BNSF EMD units at Chehalis were a nice way to start, also the 3-way at the Horseshoe Curve. Good to see the Steam-hauled Freight at Paradise again and the view across the Waycross Diamond - it makes a perfect Back-drop for a Model R/R.
Amen brother those classic EMDs are the best looking engines.
Thank you Virtual Railfan, my 2 year Anniversary is today, on Christmas Eve. So I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and thank you for all you all do across America, God Bless you for having moral and values so children can watch trains. A great Big THANK YOU.
Nice to see those EMDs with fresh paint,
Love the first BNSF engines 277, 264, 268 tried to look the number up on line got they are SD75M's. Love the drop down front windows.
Already. Know it's gonna be a good one!
“Severely” disappointed at the lack of “boing boing” when the first car went cray 😛 onto the train tracks 😂!!
Thank you Joe and team for the wonderful Grab Bags throughout the year. Glad the situation at CHE resolved.
They sure made the crossing signals at Ashland a lot fancier, huh.
Man.. this is not Ashland's year for their signals...
Merry Christmas
Awesome Video!
🌴🌿🇮🇳🌿🌴
20:19 I hope they don't re-paint CSX 4419 anytime soon, great to see that livery.
That actually looks like a fresh coat of paint. That's a very clean YN2 scheme appearance.
@@bowlinerailfan it was repainted/touched up by the same group of railfans that did the Chessie and RF&P nosed units in Cedartown, GA.
@@tomahawktrainz1877 Oh, that is good! I'm not 100 percent sure of what CSX thinks of the other two locos, but surely they wouldn't mind one of their locos being cleaned up and looking brand new again. That certainly doesn't qualify as vandalism. It appears like it was heading for Waycross so I hope I see it along the bowline soon.
Anyone driving on the tracks should immediately be given a sobriety test !
19:00 Lookin at you, sir! Best camera wave ever!
19:37 I'm surprised that crossing gate didn't get knocked off by that trucker.
Poor squirrel. I almost thought he got away. However, the Bald Eagle needed a quick and easy lunch.
He did get away. Look closely. He darts down the branch.
I'm still hoping to see a Penn Central boxcar!!
Horseshoe Curve needs four tracks again
SMH...That second one gets out of her car, not to run, but to look at the oncoming train like he should go around.
The only shocker was that neither of the cars on tracks were in Lagrange or Ashland, though the pickup driver at Ashland was “special”. Gevält!
10:42 I guess driver was safer in his car , but I started laughing when he/she started bouncing when they started to move the car.
11:53 aint no way she got out of the car and got back in like it was no big deal
To much to drink at Christmas parties, later no brains 🧠 😅
Austelle GA has the same pickup parked in the same spot for multiple videos
17:35 I hate when posts like that just jump out in front of me!
24:40 Texas, Oklahoma and Eastern. I'd been wondering what railroad that paint scheme was for. I've seen them from time to time on the CSX bowline. But what does the PN in the blue square stand for?
Did RUclips tell you to stop using the "Doing" sound, if so that's sad.
I agree!!!
lol, we give it a rest occasionally, it will be back.
@26:30 Sweet❤
And that's why we use safety chains!
You got to watch those crossing bucks they like to jump in front of you this time of year
9:38 not again
She parked, got out, then got back in her car...
Who is in that research car? How do you get that job?
The 3 bnsf I saw With boxcars
hello virtual railfan it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
Just needs a truck with a hiab and grab. Extend out, lower, grab the vehicle putting the grab through windscreen, rear window and side windows, lift, recycle.
18:46 BC Rail BCOL
Wow now you see him now you don't
18:28 perfect opportunity for a tagger to write julia and maybe something like "you cant spare a square?" 😂 seinfeld fans will get it
Anyone know what crossing is that in Burlington, IA around the 22:00 mark? I'm trying to look it up on Google Streetview.
That is Valley Street
At grade crossings were a mistake
17:34 17:35 Whoops
did any one figure out what that box looking thing was on the dirt road along the side of the tracks in the last part of this video with the amtrak train passing it ?.
Voleva testare i nuovi pneumatici appena aquistati
Well they need Flange oilers at horse shoe curve I wish you could let them know
There are greases for all 3 tracks on both approaches to the curve.
Not so sure about the tow truck operator either. just saying.
Like any industry, there are some who are experts in their trade, and then there are those who probably need to switch careers
Spot more rare railcars
No fostoria or deshler? :(
Could anyone see the road number of the 2nd RJ Corman unit in Austell?
Maybe they need to put up a sign that says no turns till you cross the tracks. NOT!!!!
I am a bit unsettled by the man at 2:25. Why is he there, what is he doing? It seems out of place
He was a roofing comtractor taking pics of the shingles for a bid quote. I agree though...looked weird.
Fact: people on Ludes shouldn't drive.
When will poeple learns to stop at the gates
These need more meat and less broth and potatoes
Here’s to the brain dead track drivers, your drivers license needs to be immediately revoked and to get it back you need to take 1 year of drivers education 😂
WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE THAT CANT THEY KNOW TO DRIVe???
Yet America lets people like the lady in Chehalis vote.
And they vote for D. T. for president
Lol lots of dumb drivers in this vid that oickup truck that crash and knock down the gate crossing lights
Meet in the fog with Military and IM, Darwins 😮, Meet at Altoona, Ashland, more Darwins 😮, wide load in Spartanburg, side panel car,welded rail train,Amtrak on trestle in Burlington, Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!🎄🍻🛤🚂👍
