    Glad to see Kearney had the full-size wheelchair ready for LaGrange in case some pedestrians couldn't stay to the right of the.white line. Extra credit for tying the ropes for the tents on the correct side

    10:30 Bravo!!! Your sequence of the eastbound "Rocky Mountaineer" all the way from Big 10 Curve down the Front Range into Arvada I think has to be one of your most spectacular and impressive.

    Surprise- that new VIA paint scheme is a take-off of the C&O,same colors,and relative positions! Wonder if the graphic designer was looking at some old color slides,or used a book from the 50's and 60's! Anyway,that design still is classic 👌! Thank you 😇 😊!

    The #4 with 203 leading had a big Darwin award moment earlier in Emporia, KS. It went through as the Unbound 200 bicycle race was starting on Commercial st, and DOZENS of riders ignored the warnings and went right around the gates. The last cleared with the train about 50' from the crossing. The engineer had the horn button down nonstop. One of my friends caught it on video.

      Hi Ladybug. I am a fan of GP15s and judging by the general condition of the Locos I will leave it to you to work out why I found it saddening to see them so. Rather than sitting for years in a Breaker's yard, hopefully some may be refurbished and find new homes on Short-lines.

(The only thing she wanted before she died was to ride Amtrak ) She never got to. In her honor, I'm going to continue to keep her Railfan subscription so she never loses her badge.

    • @arnoldgrubbs2005
      @arnoldgrubbs2005 Год назад +4

      Not sure what was going on, but next Saturday, June 10, 2023 the Big Boy steam train # 4014 is supposed to be passing thru there on the way to Omaha on its Home Run Express tour. Ariving at 12:45 PM CT. and departing at 1:30 the same day. Its going to stop at the Central Ave Crossing, which I don't know if it will be in view of the camera, but it should be as it passes. Might want to make a note to watch for it! It will return on its way back home sometime on June 30th, but no stop over is listed for Kearney.

      I think it was the Shriners. It looked like one of their emblems on the “street train” that went by. Plus the wheelchair, of course; they are famous for helping children with medical needs.

    • @kennethhanks6712
      @kennethhanks6712 Год назад +5

      As for now it appears to be for general revenue freight service. In this Grab Bag it is seen in a northbound manifest successively 0:55 in Waycross Ga, 1:45 Cordele GA, and 16:55 Decatur AL. CSX has implied 1827 is first of a series of heritage units a la NS and UP. CSX OCS remains in realm of the F40s.

      That was the BNSF OCS (Office Car Special) which, when used, draws from their heritage fleet of passenger and office cars for official inspections, customer relations events and other publicity functions.
