Nice start with a modern looking shinny CN engines in on Wisconsin. UP is looking sunny with its many engines in Southern Arizona. Squeals of Joy! All the excursion trains. One can only dream of owning just one car. The green machine BN is leading in Washington. I know railroad road safety with the blowing of the horn before a road...but the black diamond NS engines running with the Virginian sounded like dueling horns. CSX was moving some new engines? Such intricate construction work going on both in the east and the west. A wave in Washington with construction crew. Plus a unknown always fun flashlight morse code type flashes wave. Thanks
A few unusual locations on this Grab Bag. Been a while since we have had Texarkana, Greencastle, and Laramie make appearances. The big shock though was Norwalk.
I wish VR would put up some webcams here in San Antonio, TX. Especially downtown & the yard on the NE side (if it still exists) out by the old Joe & Harry Freeman coliseum where they held the rodeo every year about this time (late January/early February.)
The most interesting part of this grab bag was undoubtedly seeing all of the railroad tie replacement activity in Chehallis at 2:41, 7:10, and 18:54! And get a load of that bird in La Plata at 24:47!
Finally, a Darwin candidate situation where we actually get to see the crew catch them red handed in the act! I can never urge people enough, no matter how much of a hurry you're in, NEVER climb on railroad equipment to get around!
@@relentlesscactus i was joking about the "Never climb on railroad equipment to get around" part,since passenger cars are railroad equipment made for the sole purpose of people climbing on them to get around
@@relentlesscactus Agreed; probably train punks. If it had been folks just wanting to cross, they could have walked down to a crossing (road or walkway). It's not that far.
Given the relatively infrequent train service in the US, you must have to wait a very very long time to cross the tracks right in front of a train... Equally, given the scarcity of tracks compared to roads in the average town, you must be really really dedicated to seek out that track and drive your car on it. I feel like we've not been giving some Americans proper credit for their patience and persistence...
Those people have a lot of nerve doing that when they could just as easily walk around the train with the engines so close by talk about lazy & dangerous
we missed on all that major snow that went thru CO to mid to east Nebraska 😜 do not hump is still funny & I even know what it means! 🤣🤣 is that red & grey loco a former NS? What was on it?
I got tons of snow! My mechanic 1.5 miles away from me said 13 inches. I thought at least 10. Nebraska. I think I have never seen that commuting train engine before. Was that in Connecticut? The no hump to me means do not let it move on its own. Right? Thanks
@@microbusss the hump in my area is a gravity yard with a deployment station, moving independently. Like the dealing of cards. So do not hump means to me .... zero independent movement. I suspect very fragile cargo. Delicate. More guided movement. Thanks
Thanks for the mow equipment that’s my favorite
Loved Thanks VRF👍
I like watching the trains and how many they have behind them and in the snow and the new rails and all the animals bout as well thanks
Cool shots thanks Railfan !
Great video!
Some real nice catches of different liveries and the Grinder formation stood out in the setting of the Curve. Thanks again, VRF.
*Nice Train Video*
That crazy starling bird!
Excellent Video

Thank you, MB. All of these videoshould have the times. In EMS I have no time to watch the whole video.
I haven't been able to watch a VRF video for a week. This was stupendous! Thank you!
Zoning Out with Trains from around the Nation..Nothing better soothes the mind..as for the very moment.

I love watching Virtual Railfan
04:12 Our biennial show fall in Tucson (TUS).
2 Pennsylvanians meet in Paradise! Nice
Beauty in the camera lens at 24:44 🕊
19:32 the cefx loco on DPU is sure a great find!
Hope everyone's staying warm
Awesome video

Thanks for posting these videos VRF. This is one of my favorite channela on RUclips. Alway a great variety .😀
Kearney looks like the Polar Express.
13:10 sounds like a horn battle!
25:55, UP narrowcab?? Something new?
Virtual RAILfan is maybe coming to my town
Where? I'm in Armstrong county PA.
Where?
Coraopolis pa
Great job catching the fallen flag rolling stock!!!!!
I think the trespassers on CSX were going to try to ride . Not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
A few unusual locations on this Grab Bag. Been a while since we have had Texarkana, Greencastle, and Laramie make appearances. The big shock though was Norwalk.
25:13 Looks like KLWX 9530, a Low Emissions Cummins-Powered version rebuilt from an SD70MAC. Built as a test variant to expand T4 compliance.
I wish VR would put up some webcams here in San Antonio, TX. Especially downtown & the yard on the NE side (if it still exists) out by the old Joe & Harry Freeman coliseum where they held the rodeo every year about this time (late January/early February.)
12:00. Yes!!!
hello virtual its is randy and i like u video is cool thanks friends randy
🥳👍
We got to ride in the Virtual Railfan mobile from FMD to Keokuk and back.
Nice work with the close ups of the Maintenance of Way action at Chehalis at 2:34 and 7:25. And again at 19:41👍👍.
So robotic & kinda creepy...🤔
11:57 busted 😮 🤦♀️
At 5:22, cold weather at 0316...wow.
7:51 Interesting as piece of metal falls off tamping machine rail-guide.
5:19 reminds me of a scene in runaway train
5:32 Man, I wish this was BNSF's standard paint scheme. It's the best one they've come up with yet. Even with the kind of dumb logo.
4:55 Did he customize that flashlight with a VR logo? Sure looks like it!
The most interesting part of this grab bag was undoubtedly seeing all of the railroad tie replacement activity in Chehallis at 2:41, 7:10, and 18:54! And get a load of that bird in La Plata at 24:47!
wow.....what was that?? 🤔
18:46 That coach sure is far from home!
Must say, cool van. burlington Northern is not going away quick.
25:10 interesting…
Railfans usually make sure nobody goes trespassing
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The crew on that CSX train in Ashland handled the train hoppers really well
Ashland has gone ..Misfit .
Finally, a Darwin candidate situation where we actually get to see the crew catch them red handed in the act! I can never urge people enough, no matter how much of a hurry you're in, NEVER climb on railroad equipment to get around!
Bankrupt passenger railroads with this one simple quote!
@@relentlesscactus i was joking about the "Never climb on railroad equipment to get around" part,since passenger cars are railroad equipment made for the sole purpose of people climbing on them to get around
@@relentlesscactus Agreed; probably train punks. If it had been folks just wanting to cross, they could have walked down to a crossing (road or walkway). It's not that far.
11:58 I really hate it when people were train hopping at least those CSX guys honked at them and said Get off my train
Stopping trespassers was good, one thing that urks me is the youtubers that post jumping on the trains.
Okay seriously, are those KLWX locos on a national tour or something?
I have seen that rock island rail car several times on the KC sub east of Moberly MO
This week I was thinking about MHC and if they are used anywhere.👌🏾
Thanks for another great Grab Bag. I just feel sorry for all the kids who won't understand the Pac-Man reference
Ahhhh, the good, old days...at the arcade on Lake St. in Minneapolis, MN w/ma man! 🥳
Guy jumping on front of the Amtrak could have waited a good 40 seconds 🤦🏾♂️
No BN fallen flag logo for the covered hoppers???
Kato or Rapido needs to do an Nscale BNSF executive passenger set
One of these days, you are going to catch a Darwin winner instead of just a candidate.
Given the relatively infrequent train service in the US, you must have to wait a very very long time to cross the tracks right in front of a train...
Equally, given the scarcity of tracks compared to roads in the average town, you must be really really dedicated to seek out that track and drive your car on it.
I feel like we've not been giving some Americans proper credit for their patience and persistence...
Wa-waaaah......well said, satirist of rail!!...
Was the ballast regulator creating all that dust ? Also interesting LORAM find in Ohio .
Those people have a lot of nerve doing that when they could just as easily walk around the train with the engines so close by talk about lazy & dangerous
They looked like they were planning on train hopping!
Some people just don’t care
@@dakotabedwell6829 I've noticed
In OKC, Fred, Fred, Fred, Fred hey your not Fred, your not even red!
Sometimes us not hoomans like to wave hi as well.
Did the rail grinder have flaps at the sides? i think that's the first time I've seen the flaps.
Get off my train!!!
1:55 😂
11:58 😮
I will never understand the people who run or drive in front of a train

@@juliegogo2941 exactly what a hump yard is
Are there any VRF cameras in Michigan? Downriver and Metro Detroit? Thanks.
That is needed!! 😠
18:13 what is that?
Intercooler?
Some1 Tell me what centerbeams are used for
Primarily lumber and timber products.
