0:13 UP 1983 leading
0:28 BNSF cab slug 55 and SD40-2 trailing
1:06 five boat-hauling pickup trucks and a jeep get a police escort
2:52 BNSF, FXE, and WAMX power on one train
3:08 P42 with a Talgo 8
3:23 that's a lot of centerbeams
9:05 9-unit lash-up
12:02 I like how the paint and the fiery exhaust reflects in the night-vision camera
14:06 MOW equipment closeup at Ashland! Installing a new crossing surface that wasn't there before
19:00 ATSF business car 33 on the Sunset Limited
21:30 WOW! Nice to see some freight action at South Norwalk. Quite an unusual thing to see such a line without an abundance of freight trains
25:40 two of the private cars heading back from their excursion behind US Sugar steam locomotive 148
28:18 this is the 2nd time in this grab bag a train had to stop before this crossing. Such a fault is rare except on Denver RTD
I don't recall another train having to flag the Chehalis crossing right there. The one on the south side of the depot where it's mounted, however, malfunctions often
You can learn a lot of train stuff here on the VR. The frog thing was something that I've never seen or heard of. But it was a very interesting thing to behold.
That pink "Santa Fe" train 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I know it's time to get out and enjoy the riding around in a train 😁
Those standing lumber cars looked like specialty and new!
27:40 I actually saw that "bsnf" engine down in BNSF's Lindwood Yard in St Louis, MO. what a catch!
Some paint shop guy was real close to retirement!
@@shooter2055 Somebody replaced the doors in the wrong order.
@@royreynolds108 I suppose so. Still, it's the sort of prank a short-timer would do. ;-)
Wow, 30 minute grab bag, how I love that Western Pacific Heritage unit. Great grab bag!
Man that new camera in Hesperia is crystal clear. ( Waves at other Railfans )
In Cearney. A two unit train, the lead
unit had that fimilar sound of EMD"GM", wisper.
I can rember hearing a four unit of the same linage working AConrail train in the Hudson Valley as extra!!
The operator of the front end loader knows how to drive the railroad properly in Ashland.
Hello from the UK. At 16:14 laying the crossing blocks. This looks really dangerous and I hope that all of those workers still had the same number of fingers as when they started!
Those scrap gondolas looked like theve had a menally a mile rough and loaded with fine grind "!!
Oh"nothing sounds like a EMD "GM"unit wispering turbos on the "notch up"!!
always a pleasure to see the grab a bags
First time I ever saw a lifted frog. When I was a kid there were a lot of frogs that had Springs and the flange would kick the rail out to go thru. When no flange was present on diverging track the rail would spring back filling the gap. Do they still have those, haven't seen one in a long time.
santa fe 33 was on a siding in sacramento for many years, was recently on the market. maybe sold and this is new owner
25:44 I remember the days when it was sitting at east Strasburg station just sitting there
I like to see old Santa fe engine still in use
Someone said New York Central Private; That's a Gem of a catch!!!!
I can ember picking up a strange looking peice of shaped steel .
I was asking a railroad employee what it was? he told me it was a "frog" and squatted down and hooked it to the rail and described to me if a train car was "on the ground" close to the rail It would roll up the frog"slowly" re rail one and the second! i was "Amazed"!!
00:58 when you got to fish, you got to fish.
I was curios.
out of all power rebuilds, are all getting retro fitted with Pos Train Control & computerized where they
can be DPU s?
I like the "Boing" part.
The BNSF "Executive Train" sure gets in a lot of mileage!
It certainly has been well travelled over the system lately. Can you or anyone tell me who is riding it?
@@johnpfeffer3933 No, I do not know the reason for the mileage. It would be nice to know, though.
Waiting for the next car on the tracks in Ashland...
Florida gets Its berry own Brightline from Orlando to Miami Soon to be complete!!!
I wonder if loco 6778 @ 27:40 has the stuff up BSNF on the other side as well.
Ima get virtual railfan merch soon😆😆😆
What’s with the parade of boats in la grange?
I was stumped at first. I thought that they were just stop-sign-runners. But, I believe it was a quirky funeral procession.....maybe?
Woah those sd9043RMAC's at 12:38
Those guys in KY take their bass fishing seriously!
Another great Grab Bag video VRF .
2:37 i saw that unit when i was on my way to my baseball game rare catch:)))))))))))))
The BigBoy Artemis gets launched from the cape Caneveral Fl. At831 am Check it out folks Next one is manned to the moon!!
Two amtrak smoke and little fire
Just curious are they building new track in Florida or replacing
Building new. Those new tracks are for the brightside service in the lower Florida area from Miami to Orlando, and hopefully in the future, Tampa bay
Is that all-silver consist a BNSF business train?
Yes
Id Imagine that pink BNSF unit was Breast cancer awareness?
Why did Amtrak need a flagman at Chehalis?
Fantastic!!!!❤❤
The crossing panels installed at Ashland are 1800 lbs for sides and 2600 lbs for centers to the best of my recollection.
It is amazing how rail. working equipment has. evoled in the speed
it does. from AtoZ on the main
So La Grange was that a Funeral with boats?
Where is that train heading with UP 1983 leading???
Nice race in Kearney
7:48 Giant cat on the GREX engine!?
At 23:45, ,is that a train way up on the farthest hill?
There was an outfit out of Kentucky putting new rail and replacing cheezy sleepers in Central Florida.
Cntral Fl Railroad is mid size family owened The rest is CXS & Amtrack!
What's the story with the pink Santa Fe locomotive?
Really faded red paint?
There warbonnets
Awesome
What was with the parade of boats in La Grange?
Probably heading for a water search/rescue.
Boaters getting a police escort?
That is dangerous I can see it could be injuries or Death
BSNF? How cool is that? A dyslexic painter.
25:37 I was on 92 in behind the two private cars
*gaddammit where is the frog!? I’m here to see the frog but I don’t see the frog! Where is the frooooog!?!*
4:20
@@rtz549 *i've never been more disappointed. i thought for sure a sunny afternoon frog was going to entertain me.*
"Where's that confounded frog?!"
Hey,a 🚹 waved.
4:20 frog time
i was hoping for actual amphibians
Ribbit, ribbit...
🥇
1:06 Since when do boaters get a police escort?!!?
I'm thinking that was a funeral.
@@alexandermckay8594 possibly maybe Bruce’s Legacy or something like that?
I hate scab railroads…I.e. gw
It's not called a "jump frog," it's a flange-bearing frog. Get the correct terminology right. Jump frog sounds like a kids game.
Thank you. Streetcars have been riding on the flanges through frogs for years to reduce the banging and rough ride but only through the flangeways.
Flange-bearing frogs, also known as lift frogs, jump frogs, or more colloquially leap frogs, are used on switches or diamonds where the main route sees far more traffic than the secondary.
First
