Our VRF Grab Bags (GB) videos are compiled from content from our cameras as Mods and fans spot something neat while watching our cameras. In the GB you will, of course, find a variety of TRAIN content, special trains, maintenance, steam, diesels, interesting rail cars, cool paint schemes and more. You will also find fun people, city events, boats, planes, cars (sometimes going wild) and nature. Thank you for taking the time to sit back and enjoy these highlight reels that we call "Grab Bags"!
17:30 That’s 2081, a Boeing hill locomotive. It’s one of the only four units certified to take Boeing parts up and down the 5.7% grade from the Puget Sound to the Boeing plant in Everett, WA.
It was also featured in Microsoft Train Simulator.
That driver in the white truck had a "OH SH*T" moment.
Cycist too
@@gradnitzerslin the same place, no less!
The passenger was closer.
I really appreciate the way the cameras capture a sunset or sunrise. Makes my day!
In my 60 years i can honestly say that was the first unit pipe train I've ever seen. Also, in Fort Madison, that was the longest blade train I've ever seen. Two rarities in one video. Very cool.
Boy that was a lotta pipe! And the wiggles on the ends of the wind-turbine blades always catch my attention. I guess they have to be that flexible to keep from snapping off.
There was approxamitly 27 miles worth of pipe on that unit train. proof that I have no life on a saturday morning.
@@canyonrunner953 I did the same sort of math on a rail train not long ago. Full train = 7.5 miles of track. lol
At 12:50 nice American Kestrel.
AKA the Sparrow Hawk - a falcon, and the smallest raptor in America.
Single coal car on empty trash train: Looks like a bad order set out that they fixed and are sending on to where it's supposed to go.
Thanks VRF. The Fallen Flag catches are always good to see. I liked the Meteors too. Cool views of the Commuter Trains at S. Norwalk, the Locos and Carriages looked very smart.
I hummed along with the song, speechless.
id say that bumper missed that train by 20 feet at most
Beautiful ending ❤
Wow, another awesome video, thanks, Scott, have a wonderful day.
One of these days, that dude is going to attempt to run over an employee while going around gates and get nailed by the train! And then of course, his family will sue the railroad for not providing enough protection from the train. Flashing lights, warning bells, a gate obstructing the road, the horn from the train and a guy in an orange vest waving frantically to stop were not enough warning.
Chehalis at 10:19 wins again for the Darwin award of the day. Just about a month ago or so, it was a group of kids on the tracks taking photos.
That kestrel *was* beautiful--and so were the bald eagles on the ice in Burlington! Loved the reflections from the cart in Flagstaff, but loved the real meteorite in Kearney even more. The repair at Altoona was amazing--I have no idea what they did, but it sure worked! I always like to watch the Loram grinders at work--and just when I think we've seen the best-ever sunrise at Arvada, you show us one that's even better. This edition was packed--bravi and thank you!
Wow out standing grab bag 🎒 thanks VR
That guy must be arrested and charged with reckless driving
Nice catch of the hy-rail lift frog before and after the train. I've never seen that before. LORAM is always fascinating. Thanks VRF.
Was that what happened? I was trying to figure it out without any background--thank you! And I find LORAM fascinating too!
If that pickup was there another second later, you would've seen a horror show. Add four crossing gates on each side for once...
More great sunrise colors over the Big 10 curve.
10:19 Fun fact: In France they have signs that say “Un train peut en cacher un autre.” Now we aren't gonna need those here, are we?
Nice capture of the CSX 'MONON' Heritage Unit at Cumberland. It looked spanking new; I was unaware that it had been released. Thanks VRF!
The sped up blades going through the curves were cool!
I'm seeing it now. Awesome.
Another great compilation just keep them coming! More greetings from UK!!!
The little heritage people pushers are the bomb. 😊
Sporty stop on that grade in PA!
174 looks well smart in the new livery.
10:21 Yup. For I think the first time, I agree with you on the Darwin Candidate business.
My goodness that was close.
Lavoro eseguito alla perfezione 👍💪💯
Thought the bird might be an osprey until you identified it as a kestral! Beautiful capture of it, and absolutely serene capture of a winter sunrise! LOTS of interesting trains, too! Or should that be "CHOO"!
Nice music at the end.
Marvelous!
10:14 Blatant disregard of safety
13:30 Emergency stop
17:49 Amtrak crew gives peace signs
12:45 American Kestrel
Fun package delivered here
Missed it by that much.....
Jeez, was that truck and its driver even one second away from being atomized...?
26:03 Awesome catch of my favorite p42 160
The driver of the pickup must have ate SFB for lunch.
Well done VR!
That Darwin was too close. Don't or didn't they see the News of that car getting hit twice?
Everyone is in such a hurry now days, those Darwin's couldn't even wait for a short high speed passenger train.
13:55 Just can't help myself this morning "You are the weakest link, good bye"
No one should ever try to beat a train, nice catch on NS going into emergency stop and NS MOW workers replacing coupler knuckle, good video as well!🛤🚂
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains, especially the Heritage Units, including the CSXT1897, the Monon, and CSXT1853, New York Central, 2 battle tanks in Elkhart, Indiana, a driver beats the train in Chehalis, Washington, the Loram railgrinder in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, an adorable hawk, also in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and so much more, I like them all, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.
Why would there be buffer cars on a full train of pipe? Prevent the locomotives from getting skewered in the event of a wreck?
10:19, that Darwin definitely made the engineers heart skip a beat. If he had gone around the gates a second later, that truck would have been hit and totaled. Never ever go around lowered gates.
For his sake the truck driver was also scared enough to think twice next time. Maybe.
"Don't let a double track double-cross you!"
--from several Union Pacific safety films
More than one track? Think -- there could be more than one train!
In the unlikely event that truck driver was thinking at all, he probably thought the gates were down for the barely-moving MOW train.
Maybe the State of Washington should put up some license plate cameras on the Chehalis crossings. There seems to be enough Darwin candidates in the area that their fines would pay for the cameras pretty quickly.
@@Mikey300we caught him so he must be held accountable
🍂🏵️🇮🇳🏵️🍂
Nice Video!
The driver in the white pickup clearly thought that the crossing gates were down for the slow moving equipment and decided that he could make it, not taking into account the other track could have something coming as well, with the slow equipment blocking his view. This is why it's often stress by safety experts and Operation Lifesaver to always expect another train on double tracked lines. Hopefully that guy's close call taught him a lesson.
BNSF windmill train looked like a whale bone Express. Fantastic pipe train and the rear buffer car still doing its job but just not oil cars what rather what it will flow through
@10:15 - A really close call indeed. But there's something fishy there - we didn't see it, but it didn't look like that worker even attempted to stop the truck. Quite the opposite, in fact - he just casually turned away after the truck passed him, almost as if his mindset was the same as the truck driver's. The close call didn't bother him a bit, if he even saw it.
curious about the pan am box cars...saw them in toronto and thought this company is still in business?
Q: on the NS wb hopper train separation at 15:31, I'm guessing the cars were empty? I don't know how much train/tonnage was behind the Conrail hopper but if not much, how does a knuckle give way in that situation?
Excessive slack action as a result of the train handling and/or hidden defect in the knuckle casting giving way would probably be the leading candidates.
The guy in the truck needs a good week with First Responders dealing with accidents especially at rail crossings where people perish..
10:14 truck should be found and fined a very significant amount of money and possibly jail time . That was near death.
The Darwin candidate… geez. Two of them.
What's This Reading and Northern Hopper Cars!?
That's a lot of piping there in OK
*Nice Catches*
16:17 ok I'm awake now 📢
Did that gate runner get called in?
0:26 replacing the entire Alaska pipeiline all at once?
10:20 that guy just blew it like it never even existed, had this man reacted 1 second further, it could have been the TRUE end of the line...
Emergency Stop Train so close.
Sadly it's the world we live in nowadays, entitled behavior wall to wall and treetop tall😢
The white pick up was coming out of a track side drive with 2 MOW workers within 15 feet of him. He probably thought the signals were for the stopped MOW train he just passed. Close call...the train clipping his rear end would have given him a good spin -o-rama.
So what happened to the Amtrak engine 62 ??
What is it about those big generator things that always makes them such a big Grab Bag thing?
Transformers, friend-and I suppose that the depressed-center flatcars (with 8, 12, or more axles) on which they are riding are sufficiently unusual to interest rail fans.
1:10 Interesting... Buffer cars used in pipe unit train service. I see my need for more pipe loads.
16:27 The sad state of coal railroading, single car operations.
I can't read most of the writing at the top left of the screen. It happens on several TV screens I have tried. How can I fix this? 19:31 😊
Did a derailment happen in horseshoe curve?
Not a derailment, just a knuckle failure as captioned.
Were those actually meteors or space junk?? Weird color of blue.
7:46 What are these?
Scale test cars
Yellow Submarines 😁
The Darwins see trains amd their brains turn off
Oh? They have brains??
0:22 Hmm Help me with my math think 60 cars 64@40' on each car about 3800 pipes or 152,000 feet. or 30 miles of pipe. Hate to be the one who applied fluid dynamic to run. Hope its all going down hill. The train itself I think just at 1 mile long.
What is that little green car at 1:47?
Scale test car
10:21 is the exact moment poo came out.
Sleepless in Seattle? 22:22 orange tent looks like homeless in Chehlis.
You have to wonder if that Chehalis pickup driver even had an oh sh** moment. Sure didn’t look like it. SMH
The number of ads played during each Grab Bag has gone way up recently. Today I had 4 ad breaks with 2 ads each. Is VRF getting some of the money from these? If so, I'll keep watching - happy to support.
I wish you would show more railcars with grafitti. It could inspire someone pass a law stopping that low rent activity.
There are already laws against that activity-they are "vandalization of private property".
@@kennethhanks6712 That went right over your head didn't it? The word graffiti already implies it's illegal. That was my way of trying to get them to show more.....
@@joshuapaul349 Think your aim was way low for "over my head level"!
hello Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan Friends Randy
Always adds an extra element of Darwinian stupidity when people risk it all for an Amtrak or a Geometry train, which take literally a few SECONDS to pass.
Those useless wind turbine blades. Hate that junk.
1st
Who cares
